BBAW DAY 2: BLOGGER INTERVIEW : MEDIEVAL BOOKWORM

My interview today is with Meghan of   Medievalbookworm. When I read her blog title and that her two favorite books were Pride and Prejudice and Age of Innocence I knew I'd like her blog. Meghan is an avid reader of Historical Fiction and many other genres here is my interview:

Tell me what got you interested in blogging:

I first became interested in book reviewing  on Library Thing ; I liked having a record of what I thought about each book. It was something I'd never done before and as I read so much, I was starting to forget details and even whether or not I'd liked a book. I started my blog as a place to put those reviews and got much more involved once I found other book blogs.

How long have you been a blogger ?

I've been posting book reviews on my blog for a little over three years now, but I've been officially a book blogger for about two and a half.

I noticed besides  Historical Books you also review a lot of contemporary fiction, Do you like Non-Fiction Historical works as well?

Yes, I love history! I am trying to read more of it these days. I have a MA in medieval history and I really miss learning, so I've been making an effort to read more non-fiction, even if it takes me a little longer.

You listed Jane Eyre and Age of Innocence as two of your favorite books (mine too!) Did you enjoy the Age of Innocence movies with Daniel -Day Louis? What is your favorite Jane Eyre adaption ?

To be honest I've never seen any of them! Shame, I know, but I prefer books to movies in most cases and I didn't really want to replace the characters in my head with "real " people. As often happens if I've seen a film I'll never recapture what I thought of all the Harry Potter characters before I saw all the films for example.

You had an Amazing Reading Month in August! How many books a month do you normally read?

I do read somewhere around 18-20 books a month. Sometimes it's more, like in August and sometimes it's less. I've been reading a lot of books lately!

Do you have an E-reader? Which one ?

I just got the new Kindle 3 this month. It's my first e-reader and I think it's awesome so far. Since I'm in the UK. it was really my only choice If I wanted a dedicated E-bookstore that was easy to buy from.  I'm pleased that it's easy to read books on it.

Thank you so much Meghan!
