Today I have Bailey from Window Seat Reader for an interview.
What made you decide to start book blogging? I love talking about books, and one day I came across Goodreads when I felt like venting about an upsetting read. Next thing I know, I’m reading several blogs regularly! I’d thrown the idea around a few times of starting a blog. Finally, I just went for it, and it’s been lots of fun ever since.
What is your favorite genre? I really enjoy historical fiction especially books with a Gothic setting. I also like literary fiction and memoirs!
How did you come up with the name of your blog? As a kid, I always thought it’d be awesome to have a window seat in my room. I imagined it’d be a great place to relax and read and write. My dream hasn’t come to fruition yet, but I thought it was a fun and unique name for the blog!
You mention on your blog you are a graduate student what do you study? I’m studying school psychology. Some parts of the US don’t really use school psychologists in their education systems so I’ll briefly explain what that role entails. Basically, I’ll be trained to asses students with behavioral and learning deficits; additionally, I’ll be able to implement interventions and consult with teachers and parents on effective strategies and solutions to help their children succeed in the classroom and in life.
What is your favorite book of this year? Favorite audiobook: The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott by Kelly O’Connor McNees; Favorite memoir: Little Princes by Conor Grennan; Favorite fiction (print): The Distant Hours by Kate Morton (Sorry, I can’t ever choose one!)
