Category: Book Bloggers Interviews

Hi! I’m Cecilia- also known as the Booky Monster. I’ve always been an avid reader but I fell into reviewing by chance a few years ago and now- well I’m hooked!

How often do you blog?

I admit I can be a bad,bad blogger. I aim for at least once- twice a week but sometimes the “real” world decides it needs me to pay attention and get my head out of the pages!

How did you come up with the name for your blog?

Confessions of a Booky Monster is a inside joke. I have a slight crush on Cookie Monster (heck he’s cute and has the inside track on where all those cookies are hiding), my husband has always called me “Chooky” or “Chooky Monster”( Australian slang for chicken) and my biggest vice is my obsession with books which sometimes hits such extremes “chooky” becomes “booky” and every addict has to confess sometimes

Favorite part of blogging?

The exposure to some many new authors that I may never have found otherwise and meeting all those fellow book nerds!

Which current reading trends have you been drawn to?

I’m not much of a “trend” reader as such. I’ve always been a genre hopper and read constantly from a wide variety. I do have little stages where I do find myself a little obsessed by one over the other though, at the moment I’m on a huge mystery binge.

What is your favorite meme or post blog write up on your blog?

Recently, definitely the Shine Light Blog Tour.

Do you tend to like the hero/heroine/protagonist or the villain/antagonist?

Definitely hero/heroine/protagonist, although some of the villains out there certainly give the “good” guy a run for their money in the entertainment stakes.
