Yay ! This week I am the featured blogger on Parajunkee !
Can't tell how excited I am ! I am really considering it as a sign of destiny
to support me in my decision to start book blogging again !
So here is the interview !
When did you start blogging?
I started blogging two years ago, exactly in June. I had recently started to follow some book blogs and I thought: why not having my own book blog? That's how Sara In Bookland was born, simply as an experiment ! I fell in love with everything that involved book blogging : reviews, interviews, weekly meme and giveaways (those were probably my favourites!)
What is your favorite part of book blogging?
What I love the most about book blogging is receiving comments and being in touch with other readers who may share (or not) my thoughts about books. I love writing and publishing reviews but seeing how people react to your own opinion it's probably the most interesting part.
What type of books do you mainly blog about?
I basically read all kind of books : Fantasy, YA, contemporary, Horror, historical romances. It's difficult to say what I mainly blog about .. I guess we could say Fantasy?!
What is your favorite book(s)?
That's a tough one ! I have to admit that the first series I fell in love with was the Mortal Instruments by C.Clare (I probably started devouring books after that), but then there are other series I need to mention, like THG or the Divergent series. Speaking of stand-alone books I loved : The Shadow of the Wind, The Picture of Dorian Gray, the Hypnotist and Looking for Alaska. Really can't choose one.
What has been the best thing that has happened to you because of book blogging?
The best thing that has happened to me because of book blogging is certainly the possibility of receiving review copies from authors that lived completely on the other side of the world. Having this kind of relationships for me has been completely unforgettable ! It is amazing to see how people trust in you, how they are available and willing to "bet" on you and on your opinion.
This week's question
What is the biggest city you live near (or interesting landmark)? Show us a postcard picture.
The biggest city I live near? The amazing ROME ! Never really loved my city until I started travelling.. it is true, we have tons of problems, mainly about organisation, but the aesthetic of Rome is simply unbelievable.
I have so much jealousy in my heart right now. I've been to Italy once; it's SO BEAUTIFUL. But I didn't get to visit Rome!!! Ugh, it's so pretty!

Congrats on being a featured blogger! Rome, oh Rome. I'd love almost nothing more than visit there for like a month. Or two. Hah, I'm history geek and history student so I'd love to visit all those museums and just wander around Rome to see everything. One day, I swear.
