Introducing.... JUST YOUR TYPICAL BOOK BLOG

Just Your Typical Book Blog
Amber and Cheryl

Here at JYTBB we read, read, and then read some more. We love discussing our favorite books and even our not so favorite. While we do focus on a lot of Young Adult novels, we also do love Adult fiction as well.

What drew you into the book blogging world?
There were a few blogs that I stumbled across via myspace (back when it was popular). I loved how there were all these current reads, author interviews, and of course some giveaways. A while later, I had showed Cheryl some blogs then one day she just IMed me saying she was making a book blog and I was going to help her. That's how JYTBB was born!

What's your favorite part about book blogging?
Being able to tell people about an awesome read. Imagination is really a powerful and wonderful thing, and it blows me away what some people can come up with. I love being able to forget the world around me and get lost in a book.

Who's your favorite author?
I think it'll always be Sarah Dessen. When I was in high school, there was barely any YA books around besides stuff like Sweet Valley High (which I did read). Then I stumbled across Sarah Dessen and thought, 'Holy crap, this author gets it!'

What kind of fiction are you into? or are you a nonfiction reader?
I'm really into all sorts of fiction. The only ones that I'm not that into are historical and sci-fi. With non-fiction, I don't really like reading facts. Honestly, I can't remember the last time I read a non-fiction book unless it was an autobiography.

If you could change your name what would you go by?
Back in middle school and some of high school, I was obsessed with the name, Starr. I think I had about three different short stories using that name. But I like my first name now - it's Amber, btw. And plus, my entire name is in the dictionary and not many people can say that cool fact!

If you could have an AWESOME super power what would it be?
Oooo probably being able to read people's minds, but I would also like the power to be able to shut it off whenever I pleased.

What is your guilty pleasure?
Watching (and enjoying) cheesy B movies from the late 80's and early 90's. My Corey Haim crush will never fade.

Why should I visit your blog?
Because I'll pay you!
No, not really. You should come visit my blog because I LOVE to read all sorts of different books. And I always try to deliver honest reviews showing what I like and what I didn't. Plus I have a fun little feature called Rock This! Thursday. Its where I talk about books based on or centered around music. I also share concert stories, talk about bands you should listen to, and have fun music interviews with authors and bloggers.

And.. anything else you'd like to add?
Let's see...I'm in the middle of reading Beautiful Creatures and I completely love it. Also the band Cavo have stolen my music loving heart. Oh! And you should so watch the TV show Supernatural because it's about the best thing on TV. Annnd that's all!

Thanks!! This was fun to do :)
