Today I'm introducing you to Elin from The Norwegian Book girl. She's new to the blogging world but is doing a fantastic job and is quickly gaining new followers who agree with me. The blog is pretty and inviting and I always feel like I've been transported to a different world when I visit.
Your Name: ElinName of your blog: The Norwegian Book Girl - http://norwegianbookgirl.blogspot.com/
When did you start The Norwegian Bookgirl? I started the blog on July 18th, so it is pretty fresh. I have been blogging in Norwegian since January, but since I am reading so many English books, I decided to set up an English blog as well. That way I can better interact with book bloggers from all over the world, and spread the word about all the amazing books that are out there to a much larger audience.
Number of followers? 232
What do you review? My main focus on The Norwegian Book Girl is YA (paranormal, urban & fantasy), paranormal romance and historical fiction. I will occasionally review books in genres such as crime, mystery & thrillers.
How did you get the name for your blog? I did a lot of thinking before I decided on a name. The name on my Norwegian blog, translated into English, is BookMistress. But when I googled that name, I found out that it was taken by an online book-shop. I also came up with other names, that all turned out to be taken. Then I started thinking: the blog name should say something about me. I am a Norwegian girl who loves book, and there I got the name.
How would you describe your blog? A place where books are worshipped by a passionate reader and a place where the readers can find reviews written from a personal point of view. I also feature authors I like, will give some advice on good, Scandinavian literature and present the readers for news concerning books. A blog that breathes books.
What kind of blogger are you? Very organized or fly by the seat of your pants? Both, I think. I always try to plan ahead on what I am going to be blogging about from week to week. I try to post something once a day, so that the readers have something to come back too. I have a book where I write down what I will post on specific dates, which memes I am following, that sort of thing.
What is your favorite review or post for your own blog? That was a hard question. I think this review: http://norwegianbookgirl.blogspot.com/
What is your favorite blog? That was an extremely hard question. There is so many I like and I visit many, many blogs everyday, and every week I discover more wonderful blogs and bloggers. It doesn’t feel fair to focus on just one. I would like to mention some blogs that have teached me a lot about bookblogging in general and blogs that have been an inspiration:
Parajunkee
Book Crazy
The Story Siren
Bewitched Bookworms
I Just Wanna Sit Here and Read
Book Chick City
Confessions of a Bookaholic
Larissa’s Bookisk Life
Mindful Musings
What are you reading right now? Dark Ouch: The SHadows by Amy Merideth and Kiss of the Rose by Kate Pearce and I'm enjoying both of them.
Thank you for stopping by Elin!
Thanks for having me, and thank you for your kind words :)
ReplyDeleteElin, how many books are on your TBR?
ReplyDeleteAnd you are very neatly organized with them also, loved learning a little more and hope you stay with us for awhile and enjoy every day of blogging!
jackie ^_^
I do not dare say the number ;)It is many!
ReplyDeleteBut I try to be organized. Book that have been sent to me for review has their own shelf, and I always read them first. And I also focus on reading books that are new. So my actual TBR pile at the moment ( new books, and books sent to me for review) is about 20 books.
Hopefully, I will get through my TBR in about a year or so, if I read as much as I do now. We have been painting the house this summer, so I haven't gotten to do so much reading, but when we are done with that I hope to get to read 4 books every week. When I am in a good period, I can read almost one book a day (I read fast).
You're very welcome - I really enjoy your reviews and blog! I have at least 20 books to read also. I loaned some out to friends just so they're not taunting me until I can get to them :-))
