Ali:<\/strong> Raylene I love your blog and the gallery element is fantastic. Tell me a little about Booknook Reviews.
Raylene: Thank you, Ali. That means a lot!
Booknook Reviews features reviews on some of the sexiest books found in the romance genre. My aim is to unite bookworms while supporting new a d established authors.<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ali:<\/strong> Bloggers have such a difficult job managing and gathering content. What do you most love to post on your blog?
Raylene: I love posting trigger warnings so I can give other readers a heads up. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ali:<\/strong> My guy suggested earlier that I am in book blogging because I’m a shameless hussy for free books. What inspired you to have a review blog?
Raylene:
1) It was the draw of free books for me too. Hands down. Netgalley’s support articles suggested having a blog as a means to receive free books. 
2) I needed something that was just mine. Not my husband’s or my son’s or my employer’s. Just mine.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ali:<\/strong> What is your favorite book and why is it your favorite?
Raylene: Twilight by Stephenie Meyers as it was the first book I read (in a decade) that I couldn’t put down. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ali:<\/strong> The last book you read? 
Raylene: A Montana Daddies Christmas by Laylah Roberts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ali:<\/strong> And the book highest on your TBR pile?
Raylene: Gabe and Ian by Lane Hart and DB West<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ali:<\/strong> Live large; who or what would be your ultimate Booknook Review goal?
Raylene: I would love to be paid to read and review smutty (and sexual abuse free) books.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
