What is the name of your blog? How did you pick your blog’s name?
Kelsey’s Book Corner I picked the name because 1. I’m usually in some corner reading and 2. Ever since I transformed one of my back bedrooms into my “reading” room it has become my book corner..:D

How do you measure blogging success? Is it strictly number of followers or something more? Personally I think blogging success is based on how I feel at the end of the day. Every time I get a comment on a review or meme, I smile. And yes, every time my follower number jumps up one I consider that a success.
What genres/subgenres do you review, and what do you like best about those genres? I try to do a variety but mainly stick to paranormal, horror, young adult and historical fiction. I have been introduced to dystopian, steampunk and urban fantasy since I started blogging.
What I like best about those genres is just the escaping from reality that I get from reading them (and the hot male hero isn’t so bad either..:D)

Karen: This is just one of Kelsey's bookshelves. Blogger is preventing me from including all the pictures but let's just say she has a LOT of books!
Obligatory controversial question: Love triangles! Love ‘em or hate ‘em, and why?
If the love triangle is really well written I love them, but sometimes it does get old..you have the bad boy and the good boy…I like when an author throws a twist into them to make them unique.

What has been the best thing about blogging and reviewing books? The best thing so far about blogging and reviewing has been the other bloggers, authors and publishers that I have conversed with. Everyone is really supportive and helpful. I love this community!
Thank you for stopping by Kelsey!!
