Katie Judges Books’ Questions:

1) Why and how did you start blogging? I started blogging because I wanted to join the book community, talk about books with fellow book lovers, and find a way to help out authors. Using WP was quite easy to start with and was free.
2) Does it ever feel like work and how do you juggle all the other responsibilities? Sometimes it feels like work if I procrastinate on writing a post, or when I let myself get overloaded with review requests, but since I am a housewife, I am okay with that feeling and can still juggle this and housework.
3) Do you ever connect with authors/chat with them? I do and I enjoy it! Mainly indie authors, but I have connected with several well known authors and they are all incredibly kind!
4) Do you like writing reviews and what do you do when you have to write a bad review? I do like writing reviews. I enjoy being honest and talking about my thoughts and feelings. When I write a bad review, I try to be respectful and state that its my own opinion and still try to point out good things about the book.
5) Do you do tags and all these things or do you just post reviews? I do tags on Mondays and Awards on Fridays. I love them!
6) Do you schedule your posts in advance or just go with it and try to post as regularly as possible? I have been scheduling my posts in advance for my reviews and sometimes for my tags.
7) Do all your friends read or are you friends with people who do not read? I do not have any friends who read besides my online blogging friends and my mom!
8) What do you feel like when watching the movie/series not following the book? I don’t like it when there are major changes unless the changes feel like they still could fit in the book. 
9) Your favorite book at any point of life? A Little Princess as a child, Gunslinger Girl now.
10) Do you stick to one genre or do you read diverse books? I usually stick to YA, but read many sub-genres within, and occasionally reach for Adult Contemporary, Horror, and Sci-Fi.
11) Did you like the books you had to read in school or not? I liked a few of them like Wuthering Heights, Beowulf, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Books, Trust, and Pixie Dust’s Questions:

10. How do you organize your bookshelves? I don’t at the moment, lol.
