A little introduction:

Hello! My names Laura and I work in the paranormal field, I love cats, gaming and books!



What made you start your blog? 

Having a blog was always something that interested me but I didn’t know what to blog about. I assumed that starting a blog would be somewhat pointless - because who would be interested in what I had to say?? However, after years of tough times and mentally and emotionally changing as a person I decided to start a blog about something I loved - BOOKS - I realised that really, it didn’t matter if people actually read what I had to say or not (although that is always nice 👌), it ended up being something that I did for myself. Something to be proud of and excited about. 



Which part of having the blog do you love most?

I enjoy documenting my reading, reviews etc and interacting with other bloggers, the great thing about blogs is you can always find something interesting out there! A little bit like books, whatever your interest, there will be a blogger somewhere who enjoys writing about it!



Where did the name for your blog come from? 

The bookish part is self explanatory and the hermit part….. Well, I’m not actually a hermit but I do prefer to stay indoors as much as humanly possible.



What do you love most about books? 

I love the way that books can transport me to another world, another time. Reading for me is a way to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of every day life.



What genres do you blog about?

I do a little bit of everything! I’m involved with quite a few different book tour sites/groups, so I get to read stuff that I wouldn’t normally pick up. Doing this has opened up a whole new world of genres for me and I have connected with some wonderful people! 
My favourite genres are fantasy, historical fiction and psychological thrillers!



What are your favourite books?

Claude Bouchard interview

AUTHOR INTERVIEW A little introduction: I’m Claude Bouchard, born, raised, and still living in the Montreal (Canada) area. In a prior life, I worked in the corporate world, mainly in human resources management. In 2008, my employer moved our jobs to India and, while I pursued other employment, I published three books I had written long before then continued to write and publish more. Along the way, I realized I had a new job, that of author, and never looked back.  When did your love of books begin? While in kindergarten, my parents had signed me up for a book of the month thing and I remember the excitement whenever a new book showed up in the mail. I moved on to the Bobbsey Twins, Hardy Boys, Tom Swift, etc. and have never stopped reading since.  When did you start to have the wish to become an author? In 1995, I had an idea for a book and wrote  Vigilante  in eight weeks. I followed up with two others in the same series over the next year or two, even did some agent querying but eve
