It’s Tuesday so you know what that means! Interview with a bookworm day!
Today’s bookworm is Kelli from Kellibeans and I need to say that I’ve been reading her blog for two years and just now, literally just now, I figured out that her blog name is a play on jelly beans because clearly I am an idiot (or maybe it’s a play on something else and I’m too dumb to figure that out, too).
A bit of interview housekeeping: there’s four interviews left in the series and if you want to be interviewed, please let me know so we can keep it going. If it ends after the last one, I have a new books feature I’m planning which gives you something to look forward to. And, as always, don’t forget to read the interview archives when you’re done.
Now let’s talk to Kelli.
still love this series! i totally agree about the making time – i might read for hours a night but that doesn’t mean everyone has to. 5-10 minutes is all it takes 😉 love that ecard, we got home from a roadtrip on sunday and i sat on my butt and read rather than doing the laundry haha. oops.

Every little minute you have free can be spent reading, even a few minutes can get you into a story so you won’t want to put it down.

Great thoughts. I’m no book snob either. I definitely have books/authors/genres I don’t really like, but I’ll try mostly anything!
I never understand people not having time to read. You make it or you don’t.

I don’t understand book snobs, what if you miss the best story ever because it happens to be a romance or sci-fi? Good stories are what I’m after!

There is nothing quite like the smell of a book! And I am with you, I will read just about anything. If I don’t like a book, I quit reading. Life is too short for a bad book….but I am open to any genre.

Book smell should be a perfume or a candle, it’s just so good!
Life is to short for bad books, just put it down and move on!

I do smell my books! Often. My kids are all, “You’re weird.” But I love it.

Hahaha, I’m glad I’m not the only one. No one has ever said anything to me about it but I’m sure someone must have noticed.

I also read instead of watching TV!

The TV gets turned off as soon as the news ends, I’d rather spend my time in silence reading. Besides it sets a good example for Little K to have the TV just because sometimes.

I posted info about this series on my book challenge facebook group. I know there are a few bloggers in the group, so maybe that will attract a few more participants.
Jana, I consider you a smart woman. How did you not make the connection between Kellibeans and Jelly Beans? 😉
Kelli, I love that you aren’t a book snob. I’m not either. Book snobs and music snobs annoy me.

Book snobs have no idea all the great stories they could potentially be missing out on! I’m up for anything book wise.

Jana, if I haven’t said it before, I love this series of interviews!
Kelli, I never thought about it but I totally smell books, too! And I love your answer of “any book with a picture of a beach on the front deserves a go.” That should be a new genre.
