Pump Up Your Book Blog Host Spotlight: The Cajun Book Lady

Kristina Because we value our blog hosts, Pump Up Your Book is now putting the shoe on the other foot and interviewing them instead of having them interview us.  We are now offering our readers a chance to get to know our blog hosts and what better way than a personal interview?

Today, Pump Up Your Book is proud to spotlight The Cajun Book Lady, a book blog run by south Louisiana blogger Kristina (aka Kris).

Q: Thank you for this interview, Kris.  Can you tell us what is your blog’s main focus?

Kris: Well let me start off by saying thank you for having me here!

The blog’s focus is book reviews (of course) but it also includes author interviews, guest posts, giveaways, and book features. I’m sure there is something I’m forgetting but that’s the most of it.

Q: How long have you been blogging?  Is this your first blog and your only blog?

Kris: I’ve been blogging for about 5 months now. It is my first blog and only blog. (it originally started as a scrapping and photography blog)

Q: How often do you blog?

Kris: Every day LOL! (I do schedule my posts ahead of time so I might not actually type anything for a week or so.) I try to have posts once a day but most of the time it’s twice a day.

Q: Why did you choose to name your blog, “The Cajun Book Lady”?

Kris: Because I’m Cajun, a lady, and I read books. Genius right? *smile*

Q: How do you promote your blog?

Kris: I’m on so many sites for this…sometimes it’s hard to keep them all straight. I’m on Twitter @KrisLovesBooks. (if you want to find me) I’m a member of several Nings, and the blog has a live feed to the Publishing Works Forum where all my posts are able to be viewed. I also post reviews and lollygag on Goodreads and Librarything. (OK I think that’s everything) *wipes sweat off brow*

Q: What do you do when you’re not blogging?

Kris: I’m usually cleaning the house…sad I know! Hobby wise, I like to scrapbook when I have time. I’m also a big photography fan. I LOVE to take pictures and hope to build on that one day. But, mostly I spend time with my hubby and kids. 🙂

Q: What do you enjoy most about blogging?

Kris: Honestly…I have gotten to “meet” so many interesting and wonderful people! As an avid reader since a young age I was fascinated by authors like some people are fascinated by actors. To have the opportunity to chat with these people and get to know them still makes me starstruck. ( I know I sound like a goober right?) It’s true though! The overall publishing and blogging community is fantastic so I couldn’t ask for more.

Thank you for this interview, Kris, and we’ll see you in the blogosphere!
