Today's blogger spotlight is on my zany friends at Platypire Reviews. This is a great group of ladies who keep me laughing while they're doing their reading and reviewing. They have a constant debate over cookies and who is #TeamChocolateChip or #TeamOatmealRaisin and keep things fun with their shenanigans. I got lucky and got three of the group to answer my interview questions.

~♥~Sofia the Great's Interview:

Aside from loving to read, why did you start blogging?

I was helping my friend Jude.

How long have you been blogging?

A little more than a year

Where is you blog’s home? US or abroad?

What’s your favorite book?

I can't pick one book. THAT”S BULL! OKAY OKAY. My favorite books are the ones with words that tell a wonderful story. :-P

What’s your favorite genre?

BALLS! Everyday it changes! It depends on my mood. My answer is FICTION!

Is there any specific genre that you don’t care to read? Is nature books a genre?

I'm talking about those books where its man or woman verus nature and they find themselves. They also find water and eat the dog. Yeah I don't like those books where they eat the dog. Wait! I also don't like those books where the dogs die. So the genre where the dogs dies gets a pass from me.

What is the one thing about your blog that you think makes it stand out among the other blogs?

There's a girl named Sofia on it and she's a hoot!

What’s your favorite thing about blogging?

Discovering new books and making fun of Jude. Also rallying the troops from #TeamChocolateChip. They are truly the best.

When you aren’t busy with your blog, what do you enjoy doing?

Sleep and drink vodka.

What would you like the whole world to know about your blog?

We are the best blog in the world. Nuff said.

~♥~Platypire Bob's Interview:

Aside from loving to read, why did you start blogging?

Joood totally bossed me into it!

How long have you been blogging?

A bit less than 2 years, I think.

Where is you blog’s home? US or abroad?

OMGGGGG Why would you ask such a thing?! I'll have to go with my hardback copy of The Complete Novels of Jane Austen on this one. Does that count? A collection?

What’s your favorite genre?

0.0 Favorite? I'll go with....Either Dystopian or Horror. Or Dystopian Horror, even better!

Is there any specific genre that you don’t care to read?

I don’t care much for biographies or non-fiction. I read to escape into a fantasy where I can pretend to be anyone and anything I want. ^_^

What is the one thing about your blog that you think makes it stand out among the other blogs?

PLATYPIRES. Need I say more? Maybe that we’re genre-inclusive, and don’t turn anything away simply for the type of book it is, and we like to be involved and have others involved with us.

What’s your favorite thing about blogging?

I like feeling that I’ve actually done something to help authors. They’re bad asses!

♥ Welcome to the first of my blogger appreciation spotlights! ♥

Today I'm spotlighting Just Another Girl and Her Books Blog's Katie. A lovely lady I met through IABB's Thursday Confessions and the Platypire's. I turned the tables on the bloggers I'm sharing with you and gave them an interview. ;-)

SPOTLIGHT INTERVIEW:

Aside from loving to read, why did you start blogging?

I started blogging because I like to pretend that other people care what I have to say, particularly about books. Also, my friend Courtney made me.

How long have you been blogging?

I’ve been blogging for a little over 2 1/2 years.

Where is you blog’s home? US or abroad?

Technically abroad, but I have a US mailing address.

What’s your favorite book?

Why would you ask me that? You know it’s not fair to ask an avid reader what their favorite book is. That’s just playing dirty. If I had to choose, I’d say Stephen King’s It.

What’s your favorite genre?

My absolute most favorite genre is horror, but science fiction and fantasy come in pretty close on horror’s heels.

Is there any specific genre that you don’t care to read?

There isn’t an entire genre that I don’t care to read. I have very eclectic tastes. But I don’t really enjoy Mafia/gang/MC romances and I also shy away from fighter romances as well. I like my leading men beta and sweet for the most part, and you just don’t find that in those sub-genres.

What is the one thing about your blog that you think makes it stand out among the other blogs?

Probably my Joood’s Reviews. That post I do once a week essentially making fun of Joood - Hooligan from Platypire Reviews because she basically asked for it. Making up reviews for books I’ve never read as if I’m someone else entirely is a little odd, but also quite fun.

What’s your favorite thing about blogging?

My favorite thing about blogging is the connection it gives me to other bloggers and to authors. I feel like some of my best friends are people that I only met because I’m a blogger, and that’s kind of awesome.

When you aren’t busy with your blog, what do you enjoy doing?

Well, if I’m not reading (and since I review every book I read I feel like all reading qualifies as being busy with my blog), I enjoy watching tv with my husband. Some of our favorite shows include Game of Thrones, Big Bang Theory, The IT Crowd, and Marvel’s Agents of Shield.

What would you like the whole world to know about your blog?

That it exists? I don’t know, I guess that I’m honest, opinionated, and blunt, you know, just so you’re warned ahead of time.

Indie Life Magazine issue #2 is now available. Read it now! It's a special Mother's Day/Family issue and you can even find a bit from me in there! ♥

I've been struggling with writing recently as the ever dreaded "Real Life" has superseded my ability to concentrate on or even contemplate my words and characters. I'm beginning to question whether I'm ever going to finish This Crazy Life or even The Art of Forgiving... sigh. Please don't hate me for taking so long.
