Hi. My name is Amanda, and I’m addicted to books. My addiction story is different, though. I’m not interested in recovery; I just want to be left alone with my drug of choice – the written word.
The name On a Book Bender is a reflection of my reading style; I have a tendency to binge read, and I am usually happy to devour whatever books are in my path. I mean, you just have to satisfy that craving, right? My genres of choice are mysteries, romance (paranormal, historical), fantasy (mainly urban fantasy), and a handful of YA so long as the angst is minimal. I read other genres, but that usually depends on how desperate I am for a book fix.
My intention in starting a book blog was to create a community where it was possible to discuss books, develop relationships with other readers, and have fun. It is what many might call my mission statement. As On a Book Bender continues to grow, and my own time becomes limited, I have taken on an associate reviewer. Regular readers (especially Twitter followers!) will recognize Kelly from Reading the Paranormal. She reviews two or three books for me every month within the above specified genres. Kelly is awesome.
On a Book Bender runs on a weekly schedule as follows:
- Monday — Review
- Tuesday — Top Off Tuesday
- Wednesday — Review
- Thursday — Open
- Friday — Bibliobanter| Giveaway | Interview: Character | Interview: Author | Review
- Saturday — Open
- Sunday — Clock Rewinders on a Book Binge
For more features that are published at On a Book Bender, visit the Features page. A list of places I have guest posted, blogged, been interviewed or featured can be found on the Appearances page.
I am also the organizer of the Bout of Books read-a-thon, which now has its own special place on the Internet.
