That's How I Blog!  

Melanie has been blogging for over 2 years – mainly about what she reads but also about book related things,cool etsy finds, and her family. A native Marylander, she lives in Columbia with her husband of 13 years and their 4 children (3 dudes and a baby girl). Melanie mainly reads contemporary fiction, memoirs, cookbooks,mysteries, ya and children’s lit.When she’s not reading she can be found scrapbooking, baking,watching baseball (in season, go Red Sox) or hgtv – all with coffee cup nearby. And she likes to give things away.

I'm 26 and live in the Washington, DC metro area. In addition to book reviewing and blogging, I am currently pursuing my Master's degree and am also the Associate Editor & Review Coordinator for The Book Studio, a project of WETA-PBS.

I'm a stay-at-home mom of two busy little boys age 4 and 2. As any mom will tell you, they are the light of my life. We, along with my awesome (seriously!) husband live in the Salt Lake City area which is home to not only a million awesome authors but also a million awesome book bloggers. Seriously, I have it made here! I've been blogging about two years about books because I'm a bit addicted to them. Always have. There's nothing better than sitting back and just looking at my bookshelves. Well, okay. Maybe reading them is better. And talking about them and sharing them with others is what keeps me blogging. When I'm not blogging or reading I'm hanging out with the kids, eating Thai food, gardening or simply being lazy while the the kids slowly destroy the house around me.

I'm a twenty-something bibliophile living in Richmond, VA. I spent 2 1/2 years as a bookseller and bookstore event planner, and I now work in marketing for a medical company. I read and review literary fiction, narrative nonfiction, and some memoirs. I live with my husband Bob and our crazy hound dog Millie, and I am hopelessly devoted to spending Sundays in my pajamas. I've been blogging since July 2008.

Lenore Appelhans is an American living in Frankfurt, Germany with her Illustrator husband Daniel Jennewein and two bratty Birman cats Emmy and Finn (who make Tuesday appearances on her blog). Her blog, Presenting Lenore, revolves around her love of reading. She posts book reviews (and has very eclectic tastes), conducts author interviews, holds contests, and profiles upcoming books. She also posts about her travels, her work as an advertising copywriter, and about life in Germany for the benefit of all her friends and family around the world who like to keep up with what she, Daniel and the kitties are up to.

I am a stay-at-home mother of two whose passion (besides my family) is books. I am an avid reader who enjoys all types of books, although I mainly read fiction. In addition to books, I also love to crochet, knit, scrapbook and cook!
