Short bio:
Rach
A 19-year-old
girl from the Philippines who got in a relationship with books just recently. A
sucker for HEAs and book boyfriends (her favorite BB is Kellan Kyle from the
Thoughtless series, by the way). She loves books but aside from that, she loves
chocolates and ice creams too. (Tee hee)
Nuzaifa
Obviously a total book-a-holic
with an intense love for all book-ish things. I'm an incurable e-book Hoarder (with
more than 200+ unread books on my Nook & Kindle), a Blog Stalker, a
Pinterest Addict Who Loves Gummy Bears, Black Coffee, Indie Nail Polish and
Giveaways. I have a weakness for pretty covers, smart-ass fictional characters
and Supernatural (♥Dean♥).
CONTACT INFORMATION

NUZAIFA
Hi Nuz and Rachel! This is the first time I’m going to be interviewing co-bloggers so GET PSYCHED! (LOL seriously, put your happy hats on *narrows eyes*)
What’s the history behind the blog name, Say It with Books?
Nuzaifa: I really wish I could claim that
I came up with “Say It With Books” but nope it was my friend’s sister’s idea. I
came up with some pretty crazy combos but none of them felt right. But when she
suggested this name I knew it was ‘the one’! :P
What’s one book everyone seems to like except for
you?
Rach: I think everyone likes/loves Paulo
Coelho, but there’s this one book called Veronika
Decides to Die and I don’t know why but everytime I try to finish reading
it, I just can’t. :|
Nuzaifa: For me
it’s Hush Hush-Everybody seems to
love Patch! IDNFed it TWICE. So thanks to that now I’m a bit hesitant to pick
up books if they are about fallen angels.
How did you two meet?
Rach: I believe we met on Goodreads,
right Nuz? :)
Nuzaifa: Yes, a few months after creating the blog I
found that handling everything was MUCH more harder than I thought so I was
looking for a co-blogger. And when I met Rach on GR she mentioned that she
wanted to take up blogging so after talking to her I realized that our taste in
books (and other things!) was compatible. So I asked and she said yes! :)
What was it like getting a co-blogger on board?
Nuzaifa: It is sooo much easier! Blogging can be
seriously stressful and if you are like me it can take up pretty much all of
your time. Rach-I swear this girl is a godsend! She’s amazing at networking
with authors/publishers. And marketing is her forte so she’s great at getting
the word out about every new post. And last week I started a new job so I
wasn’t able to get online at all but I had nothing to worry about ‘cause I knew
she’d take care of the blog for me! ;)
How do you manage the blog together?
Rach: I think the key to our co-blogging
relationship is the proper communication and organization of the things that we
want to do for our blog. There are times when we chat online and discuss topics
which we can put up on our blog and also the blog tours that we want to sign up
for. Easy breezy like that *winks* But also, it’s not an all-work-no-play
relationship. We also talk about other stuff too, like our mutual desire for
this certain human being called Adam Levine. ;)
Nuzaifa: Ah yes Adam! *sigh* …...and our shared love
for Aussie accents! :D Communication is definitely the most important thing.
Just mailing me each other about blog related stuff is not enough-You have
actually ‘connect’ with your co-blogger. Although we share similar interests,
the way we do things are different for example Rach is definitely more
organized and more prepared than me. On the other hand I do things a little
more differently. I have rough blogging plan for each month but my ideas are
constantly evolving so I end up doing something completely different! Ah poor
Rach has to put up with me and my constantly changing moods. :P
Do you have plans of meeting each other in person
someday? :D
Rach: Oh of course we do! Last month, I
think Nuz and I talked about meeting one day. She gave me a link of a blog post
where the co-bloggers of that certain blog met up and gaaaah, we were like, “We
should do that too!” We already picked out countries where we can meet! :D
Nuzaifa: Yes!! Living two different countries is sucky
sometimes because we don’t get to meet up and go book-shopping or go to author
events together! But we’ll hopefully meet each other someday like Rach said. :)
