Hello! Welcome to the third B&DERM question and answer post! I have one question and answers from five awesome bloggers, as well as your hosts, Daph from Loving Books and myself! We hope they'll be interesting for you ;) This week's question is... Do you have a particular format or way of reviewing (for example, talking about characters, then setting, then plot, etc for every book you read) or do you just write whatever comes to mind for each particular book? Stacey from Pretty Books : It's different for every book. I always provide a spoiler-free summary and then just talk about what I enjoyed, which may be the plot, or the characters, or the world-building, or the writing. I tend to write one sentence at the end to summarise how I felt about the book overall and then give the book a rating out of five (which I think is good for people who don't want to read the review yet but want to know whether I enjoyed the book or not). Ashley from What's Yo...

Hello! Welcome to the first B&DERM question and answer post! I have one question and answers from five awesome bloggers, as well as your hosts, Daph from Loving Books and myself! We hope they'll be interesting for you ;) This week's question is... How do you tackle your TBR pile? Do you try to read everything before release date (if it’s a proof) or do you just read whatever takes your fancy?  Stacey from Pretty Books : I do try to read everything before/around the publication date but I'm failing miserably at the moment! I still have February books I've not gotten to. I read about 1-2 books a week, so it's difficult to catch up if I'm behind. I have a note on my phone with them all listed by publication date and I try to go through it in order. I do skip over some books sometimes if I'm not in the mood to read them, and I also prioritise others (for example, I'll definitely be reading Insurgent as soon as it arrives!). Ashley from Wha...

So, on Twitter, blogs, Goodreads, Facebook, wherever, you may have heard about this thing going on called BBAW. Wondering what it is? Well, it's the Book Blogger Appreciation Week, where you can nominate and vote for your favourite blogs to win awards like Best Written Book Blog, or Best Book Blog Meme. They also have blogger interviews, which is what I'm doing today. So, here is my interview with Pam from Bookalicious ! (The text in italic is my comment on Pam's answer, my actual answers to the questions are over at her blog :) ) If you could go anywhere in the world for a week’s holiday, free of charge, where would you go and what would you do there? I would go to Iceland and sit in those hot springs with a book featuring extremely cold weather. Bella: Ooh, hot springs :)  If you could choose ONE meal to eat at least once every day for the rest of your life, what would you choose? You know I don't really eat breakfast but if I did and I had to choose only on...

Hi everyone, today I'm going to be interviewing Sarah from Puss Reboots :)   Tell us a little bit about yourself :) The best thing I can say is read Monday's post for Armchair BEA . The short version is I'm currently a library and information science student. I'm taking a completely online course. I'm also a freelance writer and a web designer. Name one book that you think everyone should read, and why? I'm going to go with a little known but excellent novel by a well known American author: The Marble Faun by Nathaniel Hawthorne. It's set in Italy in the mid-1800s but it reads like a modern day paranormal romance. If I could, I would put a copy of the book in everyone's hands. If you could spend the day in a book, which book would you choose and why? Check out my answer on last week's Book Blogger Hop: http://www.pussreboots.pair.com/blog/2011/comments_05/book_blogger_hop_may_20.html If you were only allowed to take 3 books wit...
