Have you ever convinced someone to read a book, a series, or a whole genre? What book(s) and who was it? Did they like it?

Well, I didn't really convince someone but someone did read a book because she saw me reading it. I once brought a book to school. It was the first book of the Mysterious Benedict Society series. I was in third grade and one of my friends thought that it was nice, I guess. I didn't really know that she was reading the book until her mom told me about it. I never found out whether she liked it or not. I hope she did. - Audrey

I don't think I ever convinced someone, or I just can't remember anything right now. Maybe it's because I just started to really read books this summer, and I don't get to interact with a lot of people. I hope I would get to convince someone to read a book that I like, so we can fangirl about it. Haha. -Beryl

We were not able to contact Kimi since she is in another country and has been quite busy. We can still answer for her though since she was the one to introduce us to Rainbow Rowell and David Levithan's books. She was also the reason why we started reading more YA and widening the genres that we would read.

Interview Questions:

When did you start blogging?

We started blogging last year around September or so, but back then we had more of a personal blog, not a book blog. Geeky Chiquitas became mainly a book blog around New Year. While we were celebrating, we kinda got the idea that becoming a book blog would be great.

What is your favorite part of book blogging?

My favorite part about book blogging is meeting new friends. The book community is just awesome. We've interacted with authors bloggers and so many other bookish people all because of our book blog. They're all great and amazing and super friendly. They'll make new book bloggers feel right at home.

What type of books do you mainly blog about?

Mostly we blog about YA, specifically contemporary. We actually read anything but it's just that we've had a lot of great reads in that genre lately. Of course, there are also a lot of books from other genres that we have also enjoyed as much as we enjoyed the books from contemporary YA. Basically, we blog about any book that we happen to want to blog about. It just so happens that those books mainly come from YA contemporary.

What is your favorite book(s)?

My favorite book.. Ah that's hard! There's too many to choose from but classic favorite would really have to be the Harry Potter series. I can't seem to find any book that can top that.

What has been the best thing that has happened to you because of book blogging?

The best thing about book blogging that has happened to me.... Is that I got to interact with a lot of great and awesome authors that I wouldn't have had the chance to talk to if it weren't for book blogging. We never really thought that we would get to interact with authors. It's amazing how, now, we get to interact with them and it's all because of book blogging.

This week's topic is top ten popular authors we've never read.

We are so ashamed to admit that we haven't read any books of these popular authors, YET! :(  

1. Mitch Albom 

A lot of people have been giving praise to Mitch Albom and Mitch Albom's books. I don't know why I haven't read any of his books yet, but I could always blame that to my never ending tbr list. HEEHEE.

2. Maureen Johnson 

If you know me, you would know that I simply ADORE Maureen Johnson. I've been stalking her Twitter and blog for such a long time now, BUT - my secret? I have NEVER read a single book written by her EVER. Not even a short story. Not anything. It's just that I'm afraid I won't like her books and my perception of her would just get ruined... did that make sense? I know I'm weird that way.

3. Veronica Rossi

Why haven't I read Under the Never Sky before? I really do not know.

4. Stephenie Meyer

I know that Twilight has become really popular but I haven't read the books yet! I think that this is mainly because it is too mainstream and I'm actually scared I won't like it (a lot of people hate it).

5. Stephen King

It's not that I don't like horror or thriller novels, it's just that I've never been a fan of this genre. I have read a few horror books that I have actually liked but have never gotten the urge to read one of Stephen's works yet. Even though his books are quite popular and I've been hearing a lot about them, I still haven't tried reading one. 

6. Jenny Han

Oh, it feels like I'm the only one who hasn't swooned over a Jenny Han book yet. Next time. I promise.

7. William Shakespeare

I know that it is probably a crime to have not yet read at least one of Shakespeare's books but I can honestly say that I've never read one. I have already established that I don't really read classics and this is not an exception. But yes, in the future!

8. Jane Austen
Oh, again with the classics. I'm sorry but I will definitely try this out next time!

9. J. K. Rowling
I have watched the movies and both Kimi and Audrey have told me a lot about the books so it seems a bit like I've read the books myself! Sadly though, I haven't but I promise to read the books soon!

10. Dan brown

I know that a lot of controversy has been revolving around Dan Brown's books but I have never read a single one of them. For a while around last year, all I could hear from people are their opinions on Dan Brown's books. I was a bit curious but not enough to actually pick up one.
