Five on Friday: Erica at the Book Cellar

We’ve interviewed Erica at The Book Cellar.  Erica is a college student pursuing degrees in English Education and Professional Writing and Publishing.  After graduation, she wants to work in publicity in publishing.  She’s obsessed with anything Frozen and Tangled, and when she’s not blogging, she’s doing photography.  You can follow her on Twitter or on Facebook.  Of course, be sure to check out her blog.

What was your favorite book last year (2013)? 

Young adult wise, The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau. It is this brilliant dystopian (and I don’t even really like dystopian!) that is scary real.  It is kind of the idea of the SATs from hell.  It is brilliant.

What are three things you always have with you?

• Chapstick
• Kindle
• Phone

What advice do you wish you could give to your younger self? 

Don't be so afraid of what others think. I used to be so cautious about what others thought and that had a big impact on my life. Now, I just kind of follow the motto of “let them think that, it doesn't matter to me.” I follow this policy for my blog too. I write what I would like to read about and just hope everyone else likes it as well.

What's your favorite season of the year? 

Summer. I am all about the warmth. To answer any hesitations about that, I'm pointing you to this video, since Olaf says it much better than I:



If you could pick anyone (living or dead) as a mentor, who would you choose and why?

This question is so tricky, but I'd probably say Jane Austen, because she is simply brilliant. She was so accomplished, even though it was an era where women were told they weren't allowed to do much.

Those Fabulous Book Bloggers

Everyone's home from BEA by now, and many are back to work after a long weekend. But the connections we made at BEA will be a big part of our future. One of the nicest parts of the convention was Friday's Book Bloggers Convention. If you missed out on that fun, that's a shame. Be sure to schedule it in for next year. It's definitely something you won't want to miss.

Congratulations to the organizers who did a fabulous job of planning and organizing. From the delicious food to the talented speakers, the day was a delight from beginning to end. And thanks for including those of us from publishing houses among the convention goers. We can't say it enough: WE LUVS BOOK BLOGGERS!!

Thanks for all you do to spread the word about books. And thanks, too, for an excellent convention. We're already looking forward to next year!
