This year, 2018, the Chicks are featuring interviews with a different book blogger every month!

My interview was featured on August 2.

Here's the first question.

Welcome, Lisa! Please tell us about your blog. Why did you decide to write it? What are some of the challenges and/or successes you’ve experienced along the way?

My blog, Lisa Ks Book Reviews, focuses 95% on “cozy” mysteries and 5% on cookbooks. Cozies have no graphic violence, no graphic sexual situations, and for the most part, no profanity. (Minor curse words have been sneaking into some cozies of late, but I do prefer mine to have none.) I post reviews, have author interviews, giveaways, and join in on book tours. I also have special features certain days of the week such as What’s Cooking? Cookbook Reviews on Thursdays, and Cozy Food Friday where I feature a recipe from a cozy mystery.

I started my blog quite simply because sister told me I should start a blog. In 2014 I started reading cozies and fell in love with them (Thanks to another sister). So, I took to Facebook to learn more about cozy authors. I was simply amazed when I found a “community” of people from authors, to bloggers, to avid readers, who were as crazy for cozies as I am. I learned the importance of leaving reviews on the book I read. So, my sister said, “You should start a blog.” I figured no one would read it. I’m happy to say, I was wrong. I jumped into it feet first and haven’t looked back.

My biggest challenge is trying to keep my reviews fresh. I don’t want them to all start sounding the same. My success is having incredible people who actually love what I do. Authors thank me for my support, which always makes me smile. But my biggest success is having readers tell me they pick books because I suggested them! That is such a high compliment to me.

I had so much fun with this! I'm normally the one doing the interviewing, so this was a switch for me.

Thank you to Lisa Q. Matthews, Kellye Garrett, Ellen Byron, Marla Cooper, Vickie Fee, and Cynthia Kuhn for inviting me to take part!
