Interviews

When blog hopping, I enjoy stopping and reading interviews.  I like the personal touch it gives to the post.  Book blogs offer a lot of author interviews.  It is so much fun to get to know the author better.  Often times, I might not even remember the name of the author of the book I am reading, however, if I have read, an interview from that author, I can make some personal connection that will provide a recall of who that author is.


Since starting my blog, I have not had many interview posts yet, but I am adding them in as often as I can.  Sometimes they come in the traditional interview format, but they might also come in the way of a guest post.  I know - maybe you don't think they are the same thing.  But hey - I am still learning something more about the thoughts and insights of that author through that guest post.  


Some interviews / guest posts that I have hosted:

• The Universal Mirror–Character Interview with Quentin
• Interview with Shanna Gekko Author of Skin Deep
• Mrs. Tuesday's Departure - Author Interview & Giveaway
• Lightning Tree by Sarah Dunster: Guest Post - The Evolution of Electronic Media and the Book Market
• Blog Tour Guest Post: C. Bailey Sims - Author of Candlewax

What are your thoughts on interview posts?  Are they something you like to read, or do you skip over them?
