Interview with blogger, Beth!

I feel so happy to be able to interview blogger Beth who runs Page-Turner!  Page-Turner is one of my favourite book blogs and it's really amazing with a lot of good content, so if you haven't checked it out, go and do so once you've read the interview!  Over to Beth...

Welcome to A Reading Daydreamer!  Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your blog?
Hi! My name's Beth and I started blogging in 2011. :-) On Page-turner I love to review books, post LOTS of book news and I also LOVE doing interviews with bloggers and authors! Throughout the time Page-turner has been set up, I've gotten to know some awesome authors and made some brilliant cyberspace blogger friends! :-) Who all helped me set up Page-turner :-)

Why did you start Page Turner?

I set-up Page-turner because.....I don't think my parents could physically listen to me talking about books anymore!!- Zoe Crook, the blogger at teenage book blog BOOKHI got in
contact with me via an author, after I had contacted the author. Me and her then became "e-mail pals." ;-) Soon, I discovered her book blog, BOOKHI. I absolutely LOVED the idea of blogging, and so with loads of inspiration from her, I set up Page-turner! I set up a book blog because I absolutely LOVE reading and reviewing books, I had kept a book review journal but I wanted to do more, and so book blogging was also perfect for that :-)

What is the best and worst thing about blogging?
I LOVE blogging!!! I really don't know were I'd be without Page-turner!-Its hard to choose my favourite thing because I love absolutely everything (!!) but probably its when I get a really nice comment on a post, it means so much!! I think the worst thing is probably when I didn't enjoy a book I review on Page-turner, I try not to write to negative reviews but I want to be honest, and so sometimes that's hard.

What is your favourite weekly meme?
Mmmm....there's SO many to choose from! ;-) But probably In My Mailbox :-) I don't take part in many weekly meme's, but I love IMM, I try and do it once a week but sometimes I forget and do it every other week. Its such a good idea, how did the blogger come up with it?! :-)

How long have you been blogging for?
I set up Page-turner in 2011 and my first post was on July 25th (2011) but I didn't start day-to-day blogging until September 2011 really.

What ambitions do you have for your blog in 2012?
To put loads of effort into my posts, and make them better! I am so grateful to every single one of my readers, and I hope in 2012 Page-turner will grow even more!

Who are your favourite authors and what books do your particularly like?
(*Get comfy!*)- My favourite authors are Suzanne Collins, Luisa Plaja, Ally Carter, Sophie McKenzie, Gemma Malley, Ruta Sepetys, Jacyln Moriarty and sooooo many more! The Hunger Games series were FANTASTIC, :-), I also loved Cold Hands, Warm Hearts by Jil Wolfson and The Truth about Celia Frost by Paula Rawsthorne, I JUST LOVE SO MANY!

Do you think you are like any fictional characters?
I think I am a mixture of maybe Alice from Torn, Lauren from Girl, Missing and a little bit of Ginger from Gingersnaps by Cathy Cassidy. :-)

If you ever wrote a book someday, what do you think it will be about?
I think I would write a dystopian book with romance and thriller mixed in (my 3 favourite genres!)-I also want to write a book told in switch-over narratives, I love books written like
that :-)

And finally, do you like to daydream?
YES!!! :-), Who doesn't LOVE to daydream?! ;-) I spend half the time in school getting told off for apparently "not listening"........ ;-)

Quick-fire questions

Book or e-book: Book
Computer or TV: Computer
Sophie McKenzie or Sophia Bennett: Sophie McKenzie
Early bird or night owl: Night Owl! ;-)
English or Science: ENGLISH!!
Reading or writing: Mmmm,...I absolutely LOVE them both, but it will probably have to be reading ;-)

Thank you, Beth!
Thanks so much Beverley for the interview!!!

Thanks again to Beth for letting me interview her.  Now hurry up and visit Page-Turner!

Just to let you all know, I will be quite quiet on the blogging front until the end of this month because I have my prelim exams :-(.  I will still be reading but I won't have much time to post up reviews during this time.  I will be back by the start of March with a new feature for A Reading Daydreamer so don't worry, I'm not abandoning the blog.  I'll make it up to you by posting lots in March!

Wish me luck and happy reading!
