Introducing Justine from Bex ‘N Books
Posted on: December 4, 2013
Justine – Chief Admin of Bex ‘n’ Books AKA Bex’s Sidekick
What inspired you/caused you to start your book blog?
Becky stalked me. Not really, but it all happened pretty damn quick. I was a follower of Bex ‘n’ Books and Becky (aka. Bex) put out a call for reviewers. I had developed a love for reading at a later age and was gobbling down about a book a day, subconsciously making up for lost time. Needless to say, reviewing was cheaper than a 12-step program, so I decided to PM her. We MS’d for a few hrs. Then out of nowhere, she pops the question, “Will you admin for me?” I thought she was a nutbag, but I said yes anyway (hmmm…what’s that say about me?). The rest is history, well documented by Facebook.
What is your favorite part of running one?
I suffer from bouts depression, am a stay home mother of 4. I don’t drive. My husband is my only live friend since we moved over 4 yrs ago to a new state, so I knew no one, plus we live in the mountains 20 min. from EVERYTHING!!
Becky have given me an outlet of expression, wonderful new friends (some have even become my best friends even though I will probably never meet them), and a purpose. One of the major causes of my depression is the fact that I don’t work and my husband works like a dog to pay for EVERYTHING! I feel like I’m not doing my part and contributing. Unlike some, I love working and contributing to the household. The kids are too young to leave, and Marc’s head would explode if he had to spend more than 4 hrs alone with the kids, also Marc can make 3x what I could if he takes overtime instead of me working.
The blog and FB page have given me an outlet to funnel this issue I have and a feeling as though I am contributing to something. It means the world me.
Favorite book to movie adaption?
It’s a tie
Alice (2009) the TV Mini-Series
And
Pride & Prejudice (2005) the movie
If you could meet any author, who would it be?
Kristen Ashley. ……. Then again, I’d probably have biggest FANgasim and embarrass myself.
Coolest author you ever got to meet/work with?
AJ Lape, she’s a big old dork like me!
Kindle or regular book? How did you feel about the Kindle to book transition? Did you fight it at first or dive right in?
I started my reading on my desktop, so I didn’t have any real transition. If I know I will want to savour a book, I will get it in paperback; I read CRAZY fast on my iPad.
Favorite book of all time?
Well, that would be books….
The Rock Chick Series by Kristen Ashley. Followed by her Dream Man Series in a VERY close second place.
Is there a fiction genre you just can’t seem to stand or get into? For me, heavy science fiction is just a no-go.
Dystopia!!! ….. I am also very picky about my paranormal reads:
No aliens
No voodoo
No Horror
I know there are a few more….. Guess you can see I’m a HUGE pain in Becky’s ass!
When I say favorite book cover, what’s the first one to come to mind – since I know there probably can’t be just one?
Grade ‘A’ Stupid by AJ Lape
Do you prefer a bunch of quick, sweet stand-alone reads or a long drawn out series of epic proportions?
It really depends on my mood and the author. I try to keep it mixed up; otherwise, I tend to find myself in a book-funk.
If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
A three-month tour of Ireland, England, and Scotland. Why three months? Simple, I want to savour each country.
