Blogoversary Celebration Day 2: Interview with the lovely Italian book blogger of Offbeat YA +15.00 amazon gift card giveaway

As you know the world wide web makes the blogoverse seem so small!

We're able to connect with other all over the globe.While we @Twinja Book Reviews follow many "International" book blogs, our favorite to date is a blogger by the name of Roberta, who blogs @ Offbeat YA. Other than being from the beautiful "Italia",what's cool about her book blog is that she seems to have an insane, unhealthy obsession with Christopher Pike and makes a conscious effort yo review books outside of the "mainstream"realm. 

It's refreshing to read a blog that reviews books that aren't so popular. Some book blogs tend to look the same after a while, so this is why we chose to highlight Roberta for our Blogoversary celebration! Sit back and get to know this lovely Italian blogger!

Celebrating for making it to a whole year, join us in our Blogoversary! Giveaways, interviews, Guest Post and much more.....

It's been an amazing year and an even more amazing experience since we began blogging last March of 2013. We can't believe a whole year has passed since we started blogging about books. Since becoming book bloggers we've made lots of friends, tons of connects and read A LOT OF BOOKS! 

For our Blogoversary we were hosting a bunch of interviews from some amazing blogs doing their "thangs" in the blogging world. Many of them are diverse book blogs or passionate about marginalized groups in media!So get ready to follow some of these great blogs!

Here are a list of our confirmed guests, in no particular order.

This year on twinja Book Reviews!

We started up back in March of 2013. Our first post was sloppy and we had little direction XD(First Post). It wasnt until after we began reading books with no marginalized groups, that we really took it upon ourselves to promote diversity.

As a person of color, and female, it is very hard not to get excited about diversity. Were going on 2014 and at times, you can still feel invisible in this world if you are not white, male, cis gendered, straight, able bodied and Christian. I think we still have a very long way to go. But we can start by trying harder to read and demand more books featuring diversity.

My Little Pocketsbooks is hosting a diversity reading challenge starting in January. One can sign up here. Many other blogs try promote such things. Blogs I tend to often go back to I wanted to highlight for the end of the year:
