Blog Tour: Pandora’s Succession – Author Interview
Today I’m proud to offer my blog up to Russell Brooks, author of Pandora’s Succession! His book is action-packed, fantastically researched and written extremely well. My review will be posted tomorrow, but today Russell was kind enough to answer some of my interview questions! Enjoy! 1) I always like to start my interviews with a challenge!

Climbing out of the book pile.
Or…the way that review books have changed my view of reading. Here’s the thing. I’m still a relatively new book blogger. My blog will celebrate its 7th month anniversary in 6 days, which makes me a baby compared to a lot of book blogs out there. Unfortunately this means I get overlooked a lot. I have to put my time and energy into getting out there and promoting myself, but making sure I walk the line that keeps me from being obnoxious. Hopefully you’ll think I’m funny instead. *** Really what this post is about is how review books have…

A day of rest.
This morning when I woke up I looked like this. So, since I refuse to be sick again so soon, I spent the day doing pretty much nothing. Yes I did some cleaning, spread out over multiple hours :). I also did some reading and video gaming. It was quite the relaxing day! Tomorrow my blogging resumes as normal. Plus yes, next week I’ll vlog again :).
