ReaganStar of Star Shadow was kind enough to donate an ARC of Butterfly by Sonya Hartnett, so to show my appreciation, I offered to interview her:

1. Can you tell us something about you and your blog?
My Blog is run by myself and my wonderful other half Matt, as well as occasional reviews from our lil monster Kaden. Hes 4 so I just put his opinion in review form, and Mekaya (6) :-) We are beyond book lovers, as our home is filled with tons and tons of books.. we have a huge love for them as well as the kiddos. We have a wide array of favorites ranging from YA and Chick lit, to Science Fiction to Post Apocolyptic and even cook books LOL. Yes like I Said... huge variety.

2. Why did you start blogging? 
I actually started blogging back in October or 2009 as I had a back surgery that was going to have me bed ridden for quite a nice recovery period. I am still recovering actually... It started as a creative blog.. doing my work with PSP and Gimp... then turned into a book blog, I never imagined it to turn into what it is now, and I am so thankful for so many of the amazing Book bloggers out there for there support and inspiration.

3. What's your favorite part of the blogging experience? 
It would have to be the opportunity to talk and see other book bloggers sharing a wonderful passion for books as well as meeting some amazing Authors... such as Jennifer Murgia, and Jennifer Laurens... HAHAH I think I have a favorite for Jennifers LOL

4. Tell us one really random/strange fact about you. 
I am not a huge chocolate fan... I prefer the fruity types of candies and flavors.

5. Name your top 5 favorite books. 
Ok this is so not fair as there are so many fabulous books out there.. but Here they are in no particular order
       1. Angel Star by Jennifer Murgia
       2. Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
       3. Heavenly by Jennifer Laurens (penitence as well Im sure its my next read)
       4. Meg Cabots' Heather Wells Series Size 12 Is not fat, size 14 is not fat either and big boned and her runaway series... well everything she writes lol
       5.The Dark Divine by Bree Despain

6. Do you have a favorite author?
Again another hard choice... I cant choose just one.. I love Jennifer Murgia, I love Jennifer Laurens, I love Meg Cabot, I love Chloe Neill and I love Melissa Walker.. plus so so many more amazing writers out there.

7. What's one (or more) book that you can't wait to read?
HAHHA good thing you said or more..

The Next in Jennifer Murgia's series
Penitence and Absolution in Jennifer Laurens Series
Hex Hall and Twice Bitten by Chloe Neill
Lost Saint? I believe thats the name sorry if I am wrong... next in Bree Despains series
ohhh and so many more lol

8. Do you have any advice for new bloggers? 
The best thing I can say is play around with your blog.. till you find YOUR style, don't work of others as each person is different if you find it comfortable then keep doing it.. If you get great response.. then keep doing it... Accept other bloggers assistance they have great advice and are so much nicer than you expect them to be I am sure.. Feel free to message some of your favorite bloggers, as them questions or check out the FAQ pages they have. Last but certainly not least have fun... read, chat, enjoy thats what this is all about.
