About the blog

Ah, I’ve finally got my own dot com. Something I’ve always wanted ever since I began learning HTML and built my own website on Bravenet in 2004. Now, I’ve finally did it! Yeah! A big and hearty congratulations to me. Haha! Okay, let’s just get it over and done with, shall we?

This is my second book blog. I had a Blogger blog, which I started last year on December 8, 2006. This blog, Books Love Me that is powered by WordPress, was born on March 1, 2007. I’m going to keep track of the dates here. I like to remember and jotting down dates, anyway. I’ve also written down the dates I bought my books in them.

Well, in this new blog of mine, you will find only book reviews. The book reviews are of course, written by me, and about the books that I’ve read. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy my blog! Cheers!

FAQ With Josette!

Q: Did you really read all those books that you reviewed?
A: Yes, absolutely.

Q: When do you review books?
A: I only review the books after reading them till the last page.

Q: How often do you read?
A: I read when I feel like it and fortunately, it’s most of the time. I’m quite a slow reader anyway, if you notice the number of books reviewed each month. But, if I’m too busy, then there won’t be much time for books.

Q: What about the 11 books in March 2007?
A: Actually in March 2007, I only read 7 books. As for the rest, I read and reviewed them a couple of years ago. They are all under March 2007 because it was at that time when I transferred them to this blog!

Q: How long do you take to finish a book?
A: It depends on how thick the book is and also how interesting the story is. If the book is very thick or very boring, then it’ll take longer for me to finish it. When I’m reading a book, I read it word by word. I don’t like to rush through a book unless it’s totally dull!

Q: You seem to give positive reviews for almost all the books you read. Why is that?
A: Well, usually after finishing a book with a happy ending, I feel happy, naturally. And most books come with happy endings. So, it makes sense that I give them positive reviews. But, if I really don’t like a book, then I’ll have to say what I feel about it!

Q: What made you decide to start a book review blog like this one here?
A: For the fun of it. I’ve discovered blogging last year after my exams. My sister made it sound hip and happening so I jumped onto the bandwagon too. Well, since I like to read, I thought, ‘Why not start a book review blog?!’

Q: How often do you buy books?
A: When I have money! Haha! I do borrow books from my sister, too. She’s got a fantastic collection. And no, sorry, but I’m the only one allowed in her library. =)

Q: Are you good at maintaining your books?
A: Um, quite well. I don’t bend my books or dog-ear the pages. And I don’t read them in the toilet like some people do! But, I can’t always keep them free from dust. Got to keep them in a cupboard with a door.

Q: We’ve come to the end of the FAQ. If we have any more questions, we’ll bombard them at you. Will that be all right?
A: Sure, no problem! Happy Reading!
