Blogger Confidential Round 3: Meet the Bloggers

Have you ever been faced with an issue while reading or blogging and thought: I wonder what other bloggers think about this?  No matter what genre or audience you blog for, we all face the same problems.  Are you a publisher or author wondering what goes on in a blogger's (and by extension a reader's) head?

Blogger confidential is a series of 12 questions asked to 11 bloggers about the nitty gritty details of blogging. Everything from what prompts a blogger to pick up a book, to what happens when a book doesn't live up to its hype.  This series was inspired by Wastepaper Prose's Author Insight series.

It's time to introduce the bloggers for round 3!

Chachic's Book Nook
Chachic from Chachic's Book Nook

Chachic is the Filipino book blogger behind Chachic's Book Nook. She enjoys reading all sorts of genre fiction and has been blogging for over two years. She started blogging to recommend her favorite books and has since discovered that book blogging is an excellent way of connecting with fellow book lovers from all over the world. Her top three favorite hobbies are eating, sleeping and reading.

Forever Young Adult
Sarah from Forever Young Adult

Forever Young Adult is a site for YA readers who are a little less Y and a bit more A. We believe that cocktails and books are best friends, and we love dishing about everything from cheesy teen movies to old school YA favorites.

Book Soulmates
Vanessa and Isalys from Book Soulmates

We are Isalys & Vanessa and we are Book Soulmates! We met through a mutual friend and instantly bonded through our common love of books, reading and history! We are employees by day and bookworms/bloggers by night. Thankfully, our respective jobs earn us enough dough to support regularly scheduled trips to Barnes & Noble and Starbucks!

Reading Fever
Penelope from Reading Fever

Penelope is a 23-year-old who began blogging in January of 2011, naming her blog The Reading Fever; her medical term for the wholly engrossing side-effects she gets from reading great books. She loves exploring the lives and complications of characters in books, who usually have much more interesting days than she does. When not reading or blogging, she can be found either working, or cleaning up the messes of her inquisitive and experimental little boy.

Bites
Donna from Bites

Donna has been the Igor behind Bites for more than three years, spitting out honest reviews, an occasional rabid rant and other bookish shenanigannery. She likes long walks on a moonlit beach with a stake in her hand, authors that just tell the damn story and the occasional four-pound tub of Jelly Belly jelly beans. She dislikes douchebaggery, asshatitude and your general dick-wankery. It's called Bites for a reason. Dig?

Sash and Em
Sash and Em from Sash and Em a Tale of Two Bookies

Sash and Em met in college in Fall 2006 and have been inseparable ever since. They enjoy the finer things in life; such as large cups of tea, snuggling up with a good book, and pretending they're still teens. Em usually loves Paranormal, while Sash likes Contemporary. They both enjoy a good Dystopian Society.

Parajunkee
Rachel from Parajunkee

Rachel, the blogger otherwise known as Parajunkee, has been blogging about books and blogging itself since 2009. What started out as a social media marketing experiment has turned into much more than just a hobby it has now become her career. Rachel has been a marketing professional for over a decade, specializing in social media marketing, design and development. Her blog, because of it's success, has led to teaching others how to develop their own blogs and market their books, along with designing the framework for their internet image.

Katie from Mundie Moms

Katie, is the founder and main blogger behind Mundie Moms/Mundie Kids. She's been blogging about her love of YA and MG books since 2009. In addition to writing book reviews, hosting live author chats and blog tours, she's a fan site for Cassandra Clare's books. She enjoys a well written urban fantasy, paranormal, historical book and really anything everything in between. When not reading or blogging she's often times playing her favorite role, being a mom to her two young children. She and her family currently reside near Austin, TX, where you find her at many of the local author signings and book conventions.

YA Bliss
Sabrina from YA Bliss

My name is Sabrina Horande aka Sab and I am college student obsessed with Young Adult books. I'm Venezuelan but I've been living and studying in Houston, TX for 4 years now. I have a particular obsession for dystopian lit, but I also love historical fiction, high fantasy and realistic fiction.

Mindful Musings
Natalie from Mindful Musings

I'm a 21 year-old English major and Spanish minor, soon to be pursuing her MA in Literature! I love to read everything from the classics to the latest big name on the market. Though I have favorite books in every genre and category, children's and young adult literature will always have a special place in my heart. I love to meet new people, so feel to drop by my blog anytime!
