Time To Feed My Reads

When did you begin your blog? November 2020. I had joined a book review team (Rosie Amber’s Book Review Team #RBRT) and had started writing regular reviews so I wanted to put them somewhere all together where I could include Author Bios and more info than just reviewing on goodreads was allowing me. I also discovered the #Norsevember event run by @Blogspells on his blog Spells and Spaceships and I really wanted to take part and contribute to the event - so I needed a blog. Talk us through your blogging process (eg - do you plan out your reads, your posts, etc) I do plan my reads - I receive a lot of requests from authors to review their books so I need to keep to a strict schedule in order to meet their publication dates. I also work for a number of blog tour companies which means being assigned a date to post a book Spotlight or review for a particular book as part of the tour. I review every book I read on my blog (give or take a couple). Each review includes the book cover, blurb, p...

AUTHOR INTERVIEW A little introduction: My name is Jamie Melissa Renwick. I live and work in Vancouver Canada. I have written for local publications/newsletters since 2007, interest, humor and hard hitting pieces distributed to a readership of approximately five thousand. When did your love of books begin? I didn’t really start reading for pleasure until I was in my early 20s. When I was in school I just never found that one book that sparked my imagination. When I was 24, and on vacation, I chanced upon  A Deadly Shade of Gold  by John D. MacDonald, and something happened. For the first time, it was as if the words on the page vanished and I just saw pictures playing out before my minds eye. It was magic. I went from a non-reader to a voracious one overnight. And I read everything, crime fiction to horror, police procedure to romance to sci-fi and literary fiction to Harlem Renaissance to 19 th  century classics. Everything I could get my hands on. A book every couple of...

AUTHOR INTERVIEW A little introduction: I’m Keith, from Surrey in the UK. I penned my first novel in 2016 on the back of a drunken bet. I had no aspirations to become an author but six years and thirteen novels later, I now earn a living making up stories. Honestly, I’ve no idea how it happened. When did your love of books begin? One of my earliest memories is learning to read the Mr Men books by Roger Hargreaves. I still adore those books and bought the entire collection for my son on his fifth birthday. When did you start to have the wish to become an author? It was never a wish for me – more a happy accident. Writing a book featured on my bucket list and I guess I was just lucky that enough people bought that book and said nice things about it. If they hadn’t, I wouldn’t be taking part in this interview. How have you found the process for becoming an author? I was a freelance web marketing consultant before I became a full-time author, so I worked from home on my own and spent much ...
