********************************
Hey Tobi!! How’s it going?
Thanks for joining me today!
Thanks
so much for having me!
For the readers out there
who may not have heard of your blog, can you tell us a little bit about Forget
The Housework, I’m Reading?
It's
a blog where I'm the main reviewer but it's open to other mom's who love to
read and would like to post a review. My ratings are based on distraction from
housework etc....... I use Laundry baskets
What do you think is the
most awesome thing about being a book blogger…..and what is the
worse-tastic thing? Yes, I’m allowed to make up words.
BEST
would be meeting all the amazing people! Authors other bloggers and readers. I
LOVE it!
Worse-tastic......I
guess when I get behind. I hate that but you know life happens and my readers
are COMPLETELY forgiving. I explain what's going on. I'm a totally open book!
And what does Ms. Tobi do
when she isn’t blogging?
I'm
taking care of my amazing 3 boys ages 5 and twin 2 year olds. That and I work
in retail pt nights and weekends and also have an online job.
Now Tobi, I rule the world.
I’ve put you into a white room with no windows and no doors. What book sits on
the table?
Oh man! That's a toughie! Just
one?????
Is
there a Harry Potter omnibus?
That
or ANY book by Tonya Kappes. Her books are my go to feel good books when I just
need something wonderful and sweet but a little mystery.
Ok, let me dial it back a
bit before every one thinks I might be losing it. Do you participate in memes
or tours? Do you have any favorites that you can share with us?
No
memes. I haven't quite figured those out yet.
I
do participate in some tours, not many but some.
I
participate in several companies IO book tours and ABG I like those and
Reader's Addiction Blog tours
Is there any book (or
series) that you just wish would be made into a movie?
A
ton really.
Dancing
Naked in Dixie by Lauren Clark
Deadly
Trilogy by Alexa Grace
OhOHOH!
The ReVamped, ReAwakened by Ada Adams
Man,
we could be here forever so I'll leave it with those.....LOL
And are you an ereader girl
or a print book girl?
BOTH!
I love my eBooks! They're affordable for the most part. However, if an eBook is
the same price or more than the print I'm all print baby! LOL I refuse to pay
more than $7.99 for an eBook. So, then I would definitely by print.
As
far as print I LOVE the smell of books and I love having signed copies. My
collection is slowly growing.
Now that you’ve been
blogging for a bit, do you have any advice for newbies?
If
there's a book you want to read contact the author check their blog page and
see how to request a copy. Some will say yes some will say no and some will
send you to their publisher. It NEVER hurts to ask. Usually on their contact
page they tell you how they would like you to do this.
Make
friends with other bloggers! I was lucky enough to meet you and a few others
that have given me great tips and helped me along the way. Thank you to you and
the others! (Awww! Thanks!)
I just gave you a book. You
hated it. What do you do?
I'll
write a review. That's how I started! I had a book and it aggravated the poop
out of me had so much potential but ended too easily. So, I started a blog. If
I don't like it I always try to put a positive spin on it somehow. Like, with
this particular book I believe I said had a great story line but forgiveness
came to easy. Does that make sense?
Tobi, inquiring minds want
to know: What is your favorite social media outlet, and why?
I
LOVE Facebook. I can follow and interact with other bloggers in groups and also
authors on their pages etc........
I
like twitter but it's harder to follow sometimes.
And lastly, can you share a
little tidbit from a current read?
So,
the day I'm answering this I honestly can't. I'll tell you it's a fun read. But
it's a Secret Agent P matter and the author and publisher might kill me if I
say much more! ;)
Thanks Tobi!! It’s been a
blast having you over to my place for a bit J Don’t be a stranger!
Thanks
for having me! I've had fun! I'd love to come back anytime you have a spot!
