Adding a New Feature: Interviewing Other Book Bloggers
Well, I know that this will come as a surprise to all of you, but I have heard a rumor that there are more books in this world than just nonfiction books.
Sit and let that soak in for a moment. That means that there might be other book reviewers than just me! 
No!
Yes!
Really?
Okay, fine, so there are a LOT more bloggers than just me out there. And in an effort to help introduce all of my lovely readers to that great big world of Other Book Bloggers that does in fact exist (this is like The Others from the TV show Lost although not as creepy), I thought I’d start a new series on my site. From here until the day I run out of people to interview, I will post an interview with a fellow book blogger every Tuesday.
I was trying to come up with a cool title for it like “Tuesdays Bloggers” but then realized that Tuesdays Bloggers is in fact not a cool title, and so I gave up trying to be creative and cool and stuff.
Then I realized that DUH!, I have creative and cool and stuff readers! So I’m opening this up to you guys - if one of you can come up with a catchy or fun title for this new series, then you’ve just won yourself a nice permanent backlink in my sidebar. Leave your ideas in the comment section below.
And if you don’t have a blog for me to link to, then you will win a permanent place in my Top Ten Coolest People Ever list. So if I ever put together another list like that again, you’d totally come in at number one. And if I don’t, well…ummm….
Moving on now…
I also have to ask: Are you one of those Other Book Bloggers? And if so, are you interested in being interviewed by moi, and being spotlighted on my blog? Drop me a link through my Nonfiction contact page and we’ll chat. I have had quite a few people respond already, so you wouldn’t be highlighted, say, tomorrow, but it would happen eventually and it would totally be worth your while. I think.
Last but not least, before I sign off for the night, I wanted to thank DreadPirateRose of the ultra-cool Convention Fans blog here at Today.com for my new header. I will be messing with my colors in my blog to match my new spiffy header which is always fun for me. I like messing with that kind of thing. It’s like all the fun of painting your home without all of the work that comes along with!
Thanks again Dread - you rock!

PS The book bloggers that I interview will have their link added to my sidebar under the “Book Bloggers I Interviewed” heading. —-> The most recent five bloggers will be highlighted there. As you can see, I’ve already got one up - Andrea from So Many Books, So Little Time will be the first in the series - her interview will show up Tuesday morning. Be sure to check it out then!
Tuesdays in the Reading Room?
I’d ask for an interview, only I doubt being a writing blog is quite close enough.
Kara, I like it! I am into alliteration when it comes to this kind of thing (makes it easier to remember) so I think I’m probably leaning towards your suggestion so far. Thanks!
Callista, I’m not very good at this kind of thing either. And yeah, there are other people who do book blogger interviews, but oh well. I’m still having fun with it. I’m surprised (in a very happy way!) how many people have responded to my request to interview them. It’s pretty fun.
Ravyn, unfortunately your blog isn’t quite close enough, no, but did you notice the permanent link in my left sidebar, underneath the poll? I have linked to both you and Jennifer, the two who have done guest blogs here at Nonfiction Lover. Oh, and I’ve been meaning to ask you how you want me to link to you in the sidebar. Do you have keywords you want me to use? Or is the name of your blog your keywords for your site? Email me through the contact page and tell me if you want me to change that link. I’m very open to putting it exactly how you want it.
Thanks you guys!

PS Any more ideas for naming my blogger interviews? I would love to hear ‘em if you have ‘em!
Awww, I liked my suggestion. Everyone does alliteration.
Tuesdays from the Tubes? Though I suppose that’s too internet in-joke…
Tuesday Page-Turners?
Tuesdays ‘Tween the Covers? (Wait, that doesn’t sound quite right…)
Title-Talking Tuesdays?
And don’t worry about the way you linked me; it’s fine.
LOL! Tuesdays in the Reading Room was cute. Except it doesn’t really say clearly that I’m interviewing others, KWIM? Tuesday Talks tells the reader that I am talking to someone, right? Instead of doing the normal book reviews. I’m going for something along those lines. Tuesday in the Reading Room is a great title for book reviews though.

‘tuesday’s bloggers’ . . . that sounds like a ‘Saturday’s Warrior’ type of a thing.
Um, how aboot ‘tuesday’s bloggers: from the trenches’ or, or, mebbe, just simply, ‘other book reviewers that I’m gonna interview: season 01′?
