BLOG SPOTLIGHT: THE BOOKWHORE DIARIES

Three virtual friends bonded by their love for books who wanted to keep themselves private are the bloggers behind our featured blog of the week. We may be calling them via their pseudonyms and despite the fact that there won't be any face to represent these amazing bloggers, I think we can all agree that our wireless instinct to instantly like a Filipino book blogger would come in handy. I enjoyed reading their interview and I hope you do too.

When did you start book blogging?

The Undomestic Fangirl: We started getting seriously into blogging in 2014.

The Daydreamer Reader: Before TBD (The Bookwhore Diaries), I have been an inconsistent blogger of all things. I even made blogs that act as personal diaries. Before 2013 came, I usually post my reviews on Goodreads. Now, I am a part of this awesome blog and being able to read, review and promote authors and their works makes me feel fulfilled as a reader.

I Think Like A Goddess: I started blogging when I was 15 (I’m 21 right now!), but I was exposed to the community when we started The Bookwhore Diaries in 2013.

How did you start your blog? Did it occur to you that you are already a book blogger or your love for books just can't be contained that you incorporated it almost everyday in your post?

The Undomestic Fangirl: It started out as just for fun. We wanted to be able to share our reads and also to express our love of the books we read. Basically, we are fangirls who wanted to let our feels out.

The Daydreamer Reader: I was actually invited by The Undomestic Fangirl to post book-related stuff on the blog and so far, I am loving it.

I Think Like A Goddess: My love for books is over the top, I mean, I could read 3 to 4 books a day and I will never get tired doing it. Before creating TBD, I was just a plain writer who criticizes a specific book then discuss it with my friends, but when TBD comes into my life, I realize that reading is so much more. Like there was this need that I had to share my thoughts and feelings to other people. And it really makes me happy when I see the pageviews going up, because at some point someone spared their time to read our blog posts.

How often do you post on your blog?

The Undomestic Fangirl: I didn’t really start posting often on the blog. I was a student struggling to balance my studies, reading and now, blogging. But after we got the hang of it, we post 4-6 times a week. With the help of my co-bloggers of course. J

The Daydreamer Reader: I post regularly on the blog. My posts are usually reviews and blog tours.

I Think Like A Goddess: I don’t have a specific date or time or the number of times I post in a week. I just write whenever I have free time or I have read a good book or a not so good book. It really depends on what kind of book I have read, my mood, and my schedule.

Do you always go on book signing events? How do you feel whenever you meet that person behind our treasured books?

The Undomestic Fangirl: The first book signing event I went to is Alyson Noel’s. After I got my books signed, talked to her and heard her interview, I was full of joy for days. So after that, I went to the next book signings. After I graduated and got a job, I wasn’t able to continue attending though. Life gets in the way, sadly.

I Think Like A Goddess: Actually, I’ve never been on a book signing event, because when we started TBD, I was a student and Junior and Senior years are the most demanding time in college. Although, I’ve been wanting to attend one, it just doesn’t fit my schedule before, but now I have more free time I think I’ll get the honor to meet our beloved authors!

Top 3 fictional boyfriends

(Which actor would you see them in real life?)

The Undomestic Fangirl: I’m in a complicated relationship and ranking them will get me in trouble.

I Think Like A Goddess: Can I state my top 20? HAHAHAHA! So here’s my top 3 (I just picked them randomly from my top 20 ‘coz they’re all the love of my life)

Gabriel Emerson (Gabriel’s Inferno by Sylvain Reynard) JAMES FRANCO

Jack Carter (The Perfect Game by J. Sterling) ZAC EFRON or DYLAN O’BRIEN

Drew Evans (Tangled by Emma Chase) IAN fucking SOMERHALDER

Top 3 fandoms? Are you a serious fangirl?

The Undomestic Fangirl: It’s so serious, it’s scary. LOL. I can’t rank my fandoms, sorry.

Any message?

The Undomestic Fangirl: Read and write what you love. Be honest. It’s your blog, do what YOU want with it. For readers, keep on reading. ;)

The Daydreamer Reader: Keep reading, for knowledge does not only come from the classroom and your experiences but also the other worlds you come to visit through your books.

I Think Like A Goddess: Read. Read. Read. Write. Write. Write. Reading changed my life. Try it and you’ll figure it out! Just believe in yourself and never ever stop dreaming. Dream Big.
