 Questions from Kit:


1. Why did you start blogging?


because I LOVE reading and my best friend, Kevin (Tiffany) who is also my co- blogger wanted to start a book blog. So naturally, we started a blog together. :)

2. What's your favorite element in a book?

Element, like how? I'll just answer how I feel even if I sound silly. I love a book with a strong female character, preferably an awesome chick who isn't afraid of anything and can kick butt when needed. Paranormal element? Yes, please. ;) I love magic and mayhem

3. How did you come up with your blog name?

Okay. At first we uses Caught in a Snyderwebb (our Url) my last name is Snyder. her last name is Webb. Not hard to figure out. but we wanted a book related name. Communicating via email, just last week, we emailed each other any names we could come up with. back and forth until I tallied it up and we had 77 names in our list. I kid you not. lol. So we decided that we could make cuts. I deleted a few names and sent the revised list to her. then she did the same thing. We did it a few times until we had 3 left, then we decided together. ta-da. Kevin came up with Book- Marks the spot, by the way. Out of the 63 names I came up with out of 77. :) (cool story, bro)

4. What are your hopes for your blog?

I actually do not want a huge following. If that happens, great. We will adapt to the following. I will even be excited, but I want people to come to out blog because they want to talk shop (books) with us.  We eventually want to do giveaways because we know we love them, so of course everyone else does too! 

5. What's your favorite book?

wow. Alright, I will admit i have a bunch of books I love. There are ones I cannot wait to buy and so forth. To date, however, I have yet to find a book that I will claim irrevocably as my favorite. Hoping it will happen. Wishing I will find a book that totally captures my heart and keeps it. (some have tried)

6. How many books are in your to-be-read pile?

Grief. I will go with goodreads. um... i have a few different TBR piles on goodreads.. combined...i have... roughly 2240. Alot of those I probably wont end up reading though. so..yeah. 

7. How many books do you read in a year?

I have no earthly idea

8. When did you start blogging?

about 2 months ago


9. Do you review every book you read?

aw, heck no

10. How do you pick a book?

It depends on what you are in the mood for. contemporary? eh, not today. paranormal? um...maybe. western? yes! ooh this cover is pretty! haha. but seriously, it depends on my mood.

11. What would you like to tell your followers?

I am sorry I wrote such long and rambling answers. I am a rambler. Aside from that,  I hope to entertain and inform you with my future reviews. Thank you for taking time out of your busy blog cruising to stop by Book- Marks the Spot. :) take care.
