It's my weddng anniversary this week and because of that, it seemed fitting to interview this lady. She knows why...
With me today is a lovely woman from across the sea, Welcome, Anniek, tell us all about you.
My name is Anniek and I live in the Netherlands. I am 35 years old and live with my husband, my beautiful 2-year old son and our sweet Labrador dog.
How long have you been blogging and what is the name of your blog?
I have been blogging I guess since one year (more or less) but it feels like I have never done anything else. First I started with reviewing for Suze's blog Librarian Lavender but since this year we have started a new journey together. We have created our blog: With Love For Books.
What a nice thing to do share a site. :-)
And here it is: http://www.withloveforbooks.com
How do you fit all this reading into your life? (marriage/kids/job)
I must say I have a very busy life. Since my son was born I changed my full-time job into a part-time one. I still work 29 hours per week divided into 3 days at the office and one afternoon per week at home whenever I can fit it in. My son is a little fire cracker. He really is a genius (talking like a proud and prejudiced mommy). When do I read.....well like every minute when I have the chance. My son sleeps in the afternoon so those hours are completely devoted to reading. In the evenings and before I go to sleep or when I am waiting somewhere.
Oh, I remember the days of toddlers and naps. They're a lot of work, but very cute.
What keeps you blogging?
Books are my passion. Always have been and always will be. Since I started blogging I have met so many great people. Bloggers and writers. I got to know writers who I had probably never known about if it wasn't for our blog. I love sharing my passion with other people and to talk about books I love.
What is your favourite genre?
My favourite genre is horror / paranormal / romance but ever since I started blogging I have expanded my interest area. I enjoy many genres now but if I have to make a choice without thinking about it I will always go back to my first love and that would be horror /paranormal / romance.
Are you an e-reader or a paperback girl?
Paperback girl all the way! Nothing beats the feeling of a real book.

Who would you cast as the male lead for a romantic movie of your life? (artistic license expected!)
I can think of so many gorgeous men but the first one that comes to mind is Gabriel Macht. He is known for his role as Harvey Spectre in the TV-series Suits. He is just...Yummy!
Ooo! haven't heard of him...
If he would be unavailable I would also be very contend with James Bay. I know that I would turn into mush if he would start singing for me.
I'm so out of touch. Let me see...

Do you have a favourite classic?
In movies my favourite classic is: Night of the Living Dead. I have seen this movie literally dozens of times. I can say every line out loud without thinking. If you are a Zombie fan like I am and you haven't seen this movie. Stop with whatever you are doing and go watch.
Oh no! Cowardy-custard here. ;-)
Where books are concerned I must say anything from Shakespeare. I don't think that there is a single person in this world who hasn't heard, read or seen anything that comes from Shakespeare. I love his poems and his stories. Also Stephen King comes into my mind. The first book I ever read from his hand is Christine. I have been hooked ever since. Most people know Carrie which is also a true classic but Christine has a special place since she was the first.
What are you reading at the moment?
I am reading Claimed by Earth by Delwyn Jenkins. This is book two in an amazing series which I would highly recommend to everyone!
