When did you start your blog and why? Give us a little info about your blog too.
I started blogging 2-28-2010. Believe it or not I started blogging about books as a challenge from my Mom. She was tired of me constantly doing stuff for other people and challenged me to do just one thing for me. I love books and thought a book blog would be great for me. I had one last year but it fell to the wayside because I was helping others.
My blog has a wide range of things. I am very eclectic reader and review everything from Cookbooks to YA. You never know what you are going to find on my blog, lol. I do occasionally give away books and I also participate in a few challenges.
Tell us a little about yourself outside of your interest in books.
I own my own Copyright business and I am a certified Copyright Agent. I mostly deal with Internet copyright theft online. I work for a very large art licensing company or for several independent artists. Basically I just deal with people that are stealing the artists artwork and using it without permission. It is very emotional and demanding job but I love it.
When I am not doing that or blogging I like to make signature tags, Incredimail stationary, sew, and listen to music.
Your favorite book from your youth and the story behind it.
My favorite book from my Youth has to be Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder. It was one of the first books I remember reading. I actually really never read before that because I detested reading. My elementary school was holding a Little House tea and if you read all the books and answered questions about the book you could come to the tea. Well I really, really wanted to go so I made myself read them. I loved them. I didn’t know stories like that existed. I did get to go to the tea but the best thing was that it started me reading. After that I wanted to find more stories. I also believe those books started my fascination with life in the 1800′s and antiques. When my girls were slow to start reading everyone was really upset but I told everyone when they found something they loved it would get them started. It did:) My oldest got into Harry Potter and now you can’t find her without a book. My youngest has found a love affair with graphic novels. I have a feeling in the next year or so she is going to blossom into a full blown reader.
“Bobbie is absolutely wonderful! I just have to say that to begin. She has book reviews, posts some of my favorite discussion pieces, author interviews and so much more. She recently has a post asking where everyone got their book recommendations and it brought up some great new sites I hadn’t thought of, including one’s I’d forgotten about.
“Her site ‘Til We Read Again features books from YA to cookbooks (which, as some of you know, are The Baker’s – my hubby – favorites). She’s a fabulous friend who always has something amazing to give and her reviews are always insightful & honest. Besides that, I think her and The Baker could talk for hours all about copyright laws! 
Do go take a look, I know you’ll just love it!
“Thanks so much to Bobbie for stopping by!”
She also has a new Giveaway going for those interested! She’s giving away a copy of the newest in the Sookie Stackhouse series, Dead in the Family by Charlaine Harris (one of my favorite authors). Make sure you go enter and start following because if she gets to 200 followers she’ll be giving away 2 copies instead of just one!

Thank you for the beautiful memories that you have shared. It is wonderful that you were able to give your children the space to find reading on their own, the way that you did.
I also loved Little House on the Prairie, and read the whole series when I was a child. I look forward to sharing them and their pure messages with my future children.
Happy Reading!
Definitely a favorite here at There’s A Book! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Way cool. Bobbie is so sweet.
She is really great, isn’t she?

Thank you so much Peachy:) I find it very exciting to introduce my girls to books I loved as a kid. I always say I don’t have a lot of wordly possessions to leave when I leave this world but I can pass down my love of reading. I am hoping that it will give my girls a lot of fond memories:)
Thank you JuJu:) You know I just think you are awesome:)
