What was the very first post you ever made on BookHounds?
A really boring post that I was getting ready to start my blog to participate in JK’s reading challenge.
First Book Reviewed: Sunshine by Robin McKinley.
I love to read in bed and I try not to eat or drink while reading, since I would probably have an accident. Good idea! I have ruined many a book with my read n' eat game plan. Smh.
Girls Just Want to Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper. This song will be stuck in my head for all of 2014 now.
I actually walk my dog in the park that surrounds the library, so I am there every day, but go in only once a week. Especially when I feel the need to “shop” for new books.
I try to be careful but when I see free books or cheap bundles, I click away. Ebooks are easier to hide. Ha! Agreed!
Being offered amazing books by authors I love to read and review for free.
I try to post every day, but since I started the young adult blog, it is sometimes hard. I am not working full time right now, so that makes it easier.
If you were a scary monster, what kind of monster would you be? What do you look like? Would you scare kids for kicks and giggles?
On the next Blogger Banter, I'll be chatting with Ren from Ren's Rambles! See you guys next week!
Where is your favorite place to read? What’s your favorite snack to eat while reading?
If BookHounds had a theme song, what would it be?
Where did you come up
with the name BookHounds? I love the little doggie in your banner.
I had two dogs when I started out blogging and books + dogs = BookHounds. I got really lucky and Lena from Simply Fabulous did the design. I had no idea what I want but found the background and she did the design from that.
How
often do you visit the library?

Are you a victim of the
one-click-buy eBook craze, or do you usually take your time and make
informed buying decisions?
I try to be careful but when I see free books or cheap bundles, I click away. Ebooks are easier to hide. Ha! Agreed!
What is the BEST thing about being a book blogger?
Many bloggers are
finding it more and more difficult to maintain a blog and keep up
with real life demands at the same time. How do you manage blogging
and real life?
If you were a scary monster, what kind of monster would you be? What do you look like? Would you scare kids for kicks and giggles?
Most definitely some kind of Were-dachshund! They are fast and fearless hunters and would chase after those mean little kids who call them “wiener dogs”. Hahahaha! A WERE-dachshund! Too funny!
