Feature Friday: Sinziana from Cafebiblioart


Welcome to Feature Friday. Today, I have Sinziana from Cafabiblioart with me.



Cherie: How did you get started in blogging about books?
Sinziana: Most of my book lover friends started one and I realized that it was an easier way to keep up with the publishing world so that is why I created my own blog. It was quite strange of me to do so because I am not a natural writer nor do I tend to do what other people do. I have to say that it was the best decision I ever made.

Cherie: I’m glad you did. I enjoy stopping by your blog. How did you come up with the name for your blog?
Sinziana: I had trouble finding the right name, I tried so many and then I remembered my business plan from 11th grade and I decided that I should use the same name I came up with years ago. I thought it was fitting since I planned to post about art, books and tea.

Cherie: What’s your favorite part about blogging?
Sinziana: My favorite part about blogging is that I get to meet new people who love the same thing that I do and also that give me feedback on my writing and advice on other matters that I post about.

Cherie: That’s one of my favorite parts, too. Do you have any pet peeves that make you want to put down the book your reading?
Sinziana: Sadly no.

Cherie: What type of books do you enjoy?
Sinziana: I enjoy reading mostly New Adult, Contemporary romance and Erotica.

Cherie: Do you mind books with similar ideas to other books? Similar concepts, backgrounds, or retellings?
Sinziana: Honestly no. I imagine each book as real story so it makes sense that out there are many people/couples that have similar stories but their personalities make their romance unique. I love reading similar books because I get to compare the characters that come from a similar background and go through something similar. I get to learn their reaction and which is the best approach. 

Cherie: That’s a great way of looking at similar concepts. Do you like when your favorite books are made into movies, and why?
Sinziana: In a way yes, In a way no. I love seeing how another person interprets the story I loved so much, but on the other hand he or she might ruin my image. I like it better when the director makes some changes and the movies is not identical to the book. Please, don’t shoot me!

Cherie: It’s your birthday, and your friends got you a giant cake. What character do you hope pops out of your cake and what book is he/her from?
Sinziana: Ava from This Man as she probably worked with one of my neighbors and I want to her to introduce me J

Cherie: If you could choose to be any character from a book, who would it be and why?
Sinziana: I would choose Julia from Gabriel’s Inferno. I am very much like her, but she is also want I aspire to be some day.

Cherie: Try to answer the following questions in five words or less.

If you start a book that isn’t grabbing your attention, how far into the book will you read before you put it down? Last page.

Who’s your favorite book mom? Rebecca Bloomwood Brandon (Shopaholic series)

Who’s your favorite book dad? Carlisle Cullen

Secret crush? (It can be anyone real or fictional.) Jessie Ward

Do you believe in love at first sight? Yes

Have you ever experienced that head-over-heels, tingly, have-to-get-to-know-someone feeling yourself? Sadly no.

Are you drawn to the good guy or the bad guy? Unable to answer.

What’s the first thing you notice about a guy? His smile.

If you had all the money and time in the world, where would your dream vacation be? Home

Are you a morning person or an evening person? Both

Favorite author? Jodi Ellen Malpas and/or Nina Lane

Favorite place to read? Bed

Favorite classic? The Lady of the Camellias

What book are you the most excited to read? Sequels in my favorite series.

Are there any types of books you don’t read? Non-fiction. (I wish) Sadly I have to read them for school. Now seriously, I don’t read horror or science fiction.

Do you have any hobbies? Shopping, does it count? Well, I love making jewelry from beads and I also love inter design.

What movie would make a great book? I think that all the movies I liked are in fact based on books or comic books. I have no idea.

What’s the worst cover to a book that you loved? The ones from the Archers of Avalon series by Chelsea Fine.

  3. Aw, Sinziana was the first blogger to reivew Divine Temptation - so she has a special place in my heart. And I'm very glad for her policy of reading to the last page.

    The rapid fire questions are so fun -- I love a girl that admits home is her favorite place to be.

    That's a really great way to look at similar plots---the individual characters make it different, just like in life.

    Great interview, ladies. Have a great weekend!
