Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance, and Historical Romance at Escape Between the Pages Blog

Lori can you tell us about your website?

I love to escape between the pages of a good book. I made my blog, so I can share my love of books with anyone interested in knowing, what I consider a great read. Since I love reading, talking about books, and surfing the internet, what better way to enjoy and express myself at the same time, then to have my own blog? Escape Between The Pages is an extension of my feelings and thoughts. It also provides me with the opportunity to connect with others, who enjoy reading as much as I do. It’s a great way to make new friends and keep informed with the world of books. While it is primarily a book review blog, I try to be versatile, such as weekly memes, trailers, internal articles, discussions, etc… I should also mention, I am not a professional critic…I am just a wife, mother, dog owner and avid book reader. I make many grammatical snafus, I swear alot, and I am not always the most tactful. But, I am an honest reviewer, I have common sense, and I am pretty easy going. I hope that it reflects in my postings.

What types of books do you feature on your site? Which are your favorite?

The books I feature are mostly Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance, and Historical Romance. They are the Big 3 on my list of favorite genres. On occasion, I will read and review other books that have a crossover appeal, provided they contain a supernatural, paranormal or urban fantasy element.

What’s your favorite book you read this year?

There were many books I loved reading this year, thus far. Many are from seasoned authors, such as: Ilona Andrews, Laurell K. Hamilton, and Julie Garwood. But, I think it has been the debut authors that have stood out the most. A few books that come to mind are:

• Three Days To Dead by Kelly Medding
• Proof By Seduction by Courtney Milan
• Mind Games by Carolyn Crane
• Spider’s Bite by Jennifer Estep

What’s the best way for someone to submit a book trailer to you and your site?

If someone has a book trailer (Author, Publisher, fan-based, etc) that consist of my genre preferences, they can feel free to email me: ladyrogue@ymail.com and I will consider them.

Anything else you want those with book trailers to know about you or your site?

I love watching book trailers. I find them informative and visually entertaining. I appreciate the talent, creativity, and patience that goes into making them. If I could post them all on my blog, I would. But I can’t. So, I rotate the trailers out of my sidebar about every 3-5 days.
