Portobello Book Blog

For the first time in ages I have a Blogger in the Spotlight, the lovely Kelly from Love Books Group. Thanks for agreeing to be part of my Blogger in the Spotlight feature Kelly. First of all, would you tell me a little about yourself?

I am Kelly and I am 37, I have had a very varied life. I have lived in America, Northern Ireland and Scotland.  I have three little fur-babies. I am currently back at home looking after my mum who had three strokes.  I love learning from books. Even if it’s a chick-lit easy read. I still think we can learn from every book. 

I have run a Facebook Book group for 2 years. As from January this year I decided to make it a priority and also started my blog LoveBooksGroup and Twitter @Lovebooksgroup

What books/authors did you enjoy as a child?

Judy Blume and Laura Ingalls Wilder were  huge influences.

What do you enjoy most about blogging?

I love being able to talk about books and set my thoughts free.

Tell me about your blog – sell yourself!

With my blog you get an honest heartfelt review.  I love learning about the person behind the book, just as much as I enjoy the book.  I like connecting with readers and offering them wonderful prizes to win in my raffles. My Blog is my everything at the moment and it’s very important to me.

What’s your favourite book you’ve reviewed in the past year? Or favourite three if you really can’t choose.

What are you reading just now? 

If you were on Desert Island Discs, what one book would you take with you?

I didn’t know what that was, so I googled – LOL!   A Prayer For Owen Meany

Is there a book you’d like to see made into a film? Who would be in your dream cast?

I would like to see The  Confessions Of Stella Moon By Shelley Day. I am stumped by the dream cast because in my head Stella is so specific.

How can people follow your blog or connect with you on social media?

And finally, if you could be a character in any book you have read, who would it be and why?

I think it would have to be somebody fun, maybe Hermione from Harry Potter then I get to meet Dobby The House Elf .
