[Podcast] #5x5podcast with Tania Arpa and Mina Esguerra


So, I've been pretty silent for a few days now. Forgive me. I've been terribly busy with the aftermath of my exams. On the upside, I got featured on the 9th episode of the #5x5podcast by Tania Arpa and Mina V. Esguerra last February 20, 2014! (Check video above to listen to how everything turned out!)

Personally, it was both nerve-racking and frustrating. Nerve-racking because it was my first time to have a podcast with other people (awesome people!). The first podcast I made was all by myself, so this one was entirely different. And it was also frustrating because the connection didn't cooperate and I kept being cut off. haha All in all though, it was fun!

I loved the geeky things that Tania and Mina talked about, plus, I got to share about blog tours for Filipino authors and my own experiences as a book blogger.

There were some things that I haven't really explained so I'm taking this opportunity to post a few clarifications here:
  1. Yes, I read 151 books in 2013. You can check my 2013 Goodreads Reading Challenge if you wish to verify all the books I've read last year.
  2. I read a lot, but that doesn't mean I'm anti-social, I'm a nun in the making, or I'm some sort of psycho (this one is debatable.. haha!). I have a small circle of close friends and we see each other occasionally. I also go out with my classmates in law school whenever we have time.
  3. Yes, I do have a library at home with two big-ass book cases. It doubles as my reading nook and study room. (And sports my little brother's anime masterpieces!)
  4. Yes, really! I do have Hermione's Time-Turner and Dr. Who's time-travelling blue police box (a.k.a. TARDIS) so I frequently travel in time and space (hence, I accomplish so many things without a sweat). Of course, I'm kidding! My principle is this: If you are passionate about something, you make time for it no matter how hectic things become. I'm passionate about reading, writing and books so even if I'm a law student and a student leader, I make time for what makes me happy.
Thank you so much for tuning in! And if you haven't listened to it yet, do check out the vid above. (I sound like a big book dork, so yeah. hihi)

[Podcast Discussion #01] What is a Blog Tour?

I've been meaning to make podcasts and finally, I've done one! You finally get to hear my voice!! (Maybe I should try my next podcast with an accent? Hee.)

For Book Junkie Joint's first ever podcast, the discussion is about Blog Tours. Specifically, what is a blog tour and what are the benefits of holding a blog tour for your book?

Download the podcast HERE.

The following topics are covered in this podcast:

What is a blog tour?
What happens in a blog tour?
What are the posts in the blog tour?
What are the benefits of a blog tour?

I may have forgotten to mention that I started arranging blog tours since July 2013, and has since arranged six blog tours. Hee.

I hope you learned something from what I was rambling on about. And do forgive me for sounding stiff, for the poor quality of the podcast and for stuttering a lot. It was an impromptu decision to make a podcast and I was hecka nervous as this was my first podcast ever. I will do better next time. I promise!

Do watch out for my next podcast! I will be covering the pros and cons between arranging your own blog tour and hiring someone to arrange it for you.

Toodles!
