BBAW Interview: Suey from It’s All About Books
I had the pleasure of interviewing Suey from It’s All About Books as a BBAW event! She also interviewed me; you can read her interview of me on her site. How did you get into book blogging? How long have you been doing it? I started my blog after joining a Yahoo group connected with [...]

Review and Interview: What If . . .? by Steve N. Lee
I always get a little bit nervous when I get a book directly from an author. What if it’s horrid? What if I hurt their feelings? What if I write a negative review and the author retaliates? I mean, you hear about things like this and this and this happening, and that’s just not cool. [...]
