The British Empire: A survey (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Now that my blog is up and running, more or less, I am excited to mention the Armchair BEA blog. BEA is Book Expo America, going on this week at the Jacob Javitz Center.
For those of us unable to attend this huge event, which brings together those in all aspects of the business of books, there is “Armchair BEA,” a blog where you can virtually attend!
As a member of Armchair BEA, here are my answers to select questions for fellow book bloggers:
1. What am I currently reading? The Princess of Cleves by Madame de la Fayette. It’s one of the books on the Crazy Reading Challenge here on my blog.
2. Where do I see my blog in five years? I want it to lead to connections between other book lovers, authors, publishers, and sellers. To spread the word about my business so it can help in the creation of “perfect books!”
3. If I could have dinner with any character or author, who would it be, and why? M.M.Kaye, because her life fascinates me. She wrote many mysteries which took me to places she lived as a child and a wife. Her father was a member of the British Raj. She immerses her readers in the culture in which she lived. After marriage, she traveled throughout the British Empire, producing many mysteries that read live travelogues.
4. One non-book related thing someone reading my blog may not know about me? There are two – I am a violinist, and I love astronomy!
