INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

1. When did you start blogging?

My good friend, Edwin and I started blogging in February of this year. Since all we ever did was read and watch movies, we were like, "Let's make a blog and tell people about our awesome opinions because our awesome opinions should be seen by the world." So, we did and Ed and Em's Reviews was born! Since Edwin and I are on opposite sides of the country, I, Emily, will be doing all the answering. (He'll regret this later.)

2. What are our favorite parts of blogging?

Well, Edwin's favorite part is having an excuse to watch movies all the time. His family no longer judges him. (That's a lie, but we'll let him dream.) Mine would have to be meeting new people. ...Is that cheesy? Because I've met some seriously awesome people. Well, "cyber-met." Though I have met a few bloggers in person at book signings, which I now go to all the time. There are some really awesome authors, guys. Basically, meeting new people is cool.

3. What is your favorite book(s)?

Edwin loves scifi/fantasy novels. He just finished The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien and won't shut up about it. He also really likes the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini. My favorite classic novel is Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brönte and my favorite "modern day" novels are The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, the Newsflesh Trilogy by Mira Grant and Unspoken by Sarah Rees Brennan. There are so many amazing books that narrowing this list literally hurts me. I need some chocolate now, to repress the emotions. You can find all of my favorites on my Goodreads page under the lists "all-time favorites" and "best books ever."

4. What has been the best thing that has happened to you since you started blogging?

Edwin says he's glad he started blogging with me because now I can't drop him as a friend. No, actually he says the best thing that has come from blogging for him is now his family buys him movies and books all the time. The best thing for me is my family thinks I'm really cool. They no longer question my constant reading. Yeah, I'm a pro. Also - Veronica Roth knows our blog. So that's PRETTY FREAKING AWESOME. *cough* Er... Right.

Q. What blogger inspires you? It can be any kind, it doesn't have to be a book blog.

A. I look up to a lot of bloggers. I really only follow book blogs, because books are my liiiiiiife. A few bloggers that have inspired me are: the group of bloggers at Cuddlebuggery Book Blog: Kat, Stephanie and Archer, Alison from Alison Can Read, Rachel from Parajunkee's View, Wendy Darling from the midnight garden and Katieb from Mundie Moms. I followed all of these blogs before Edwin and I started Ed and Em's Reviews. They helped push me along to forcing Edwin to make a blog with me in the first place. I still stalk follow them all today.
