Q: How did you come up with your blog title?
Although, it's no secret that I'm mixed (half Colombian/half Greek) and that Cupid comes from Greek mythology, that's not the reason I picked the name. Truth is, I really enjoy matchmaking people with good books.
When I first started the blog (this actually still happens) most people assumed that BookCupid was an adult romance/erotica review site. I kept having to explain that I only reviewed YA, MG, or NA. Some authors took it well, and some ... not so well. But that's their problem. I love my blog name, with the little hearts and arrows reviews, and wouldn't change it for the world.

Aw, I love the story behind your name - matching people with books! I agree with Tracy; what an awesome profession that would be.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog name and the story behind it. I can see where an author would think that but if they would only check out your review policy, then that would set them straight. New GFC follower!
ReplyDeleteI could totally see how your blog name might lead authors to believe that you review erotica/romance, but still, I think your blog name is charming! New follower <3

I love the logic behind your blog name! It's true that helping other readers find a book they enjoy is very similar to Cupid and his arrows ;)
