Hello!
Today is the
first Getting To Know You interview... If you have yet to hear of this new
feature/meme, I’ve just started at blog is, it’s simple! Every week, on a
Wednesday, I’ll feature a blogger and interview them. You’ll get to know them
and have the opportunity to meet new YA Blogs. So what are we waiting for,
let’s meet our first featured blogger! Without further ado, our first
participant! And here she is…
Q & A
How long have you been blogging?
I´ve actually
been blogging for about a year new, I used to have a book review blog and kinda
like a diary but, as you may know, in Mexico reading is not a habit many people
have. So I had practically no one to talk to about books, so I closed that
blog/diary until I found Goodreads and met a community of people that shared my
love for books. A little after that I open Book Addict; that was two months
ago.
Why did you decide to create a blog?
I wanted a
place where I could share my love for books and I found that blogging was a
great way to do that if you have a common interest with other people. Long
story short a friend from PNR & UF Fanatics convinced me and here I am!!!!
How did your blog name originate?
That was
really silly actually, my BFF got me a kindle for my B-day and at my first
chance I bought like 20 books. Bookstores in Mexico rarely bring PNR books, and
almost never in English, so I was so excited that I slept with my oh so lovable
kindle under my pillow. One night my Hub told me “it´s like u are addicted to
that thing” and I realized that I actually was/am. So Book Addict was like
admitting my addiction to the world, but that´s a great addiction to have,
isn´t it?
How did you get into reading? Have you always been a
reader?
Well my love
for reading comes from my mother, she has this giant library at her house with
hundreds of books and I used to borrow *without her knowledge* books when I was
young, and I became a Shakespeare Fan.
As I grew, I
lost the interest because I had no one to talk about books, my mother aside so
I stopped, and about one or two years ago I ran into the Twilight Saga and even
though it’s not that good of a book it restarted my love for reading.
What was the last book you read, that made you feel
like shouting from the rooftops, ‘cause it was that good!
That´s easy,
Her Dark Destiny by Dave Ferraro, I loved that book.

Hardback all
the way but I can´t get those here so I always buy ebooks.
Quote that you live by (or simply like)...
“Never pass
up new experienes, they enrich the mind” from Gone with the wind by Margaret
Mitchell.
When your not reading, what do you like to do?
I like to go to the living room and sit with a cup
of coffee or a Diet coke and some chocolates LOL!!!, I need my sugar rush and time
to just relax. Sometimes I even take notes from the books on a little note pad
I have.
Reading for me is like a getaway from all the
responsibilities I have on a regular day, so at night it’s time for myself. It´s
my own pat on the back for a hard day at work.
