I've been partnered up with the lovely Rachel, from Jacob's Beloved. I originally thought the name behind her blog was in reference to Jacob from the Twilight Saga (Team Jacob!) but found out I was completely wrong. Here is the significance behind Jacob's Beloved:
My husband came up with this nickname years ago when I was stumped on a forum nickname to use. I loved it instantly. The Biblical story of Jacob and Rachel is one of my favorites, and those that are familiar with the Bible will understand that it means my real name is Rachel. Those that aren't familiar with it may simply be intrigued by the name and be enticed to find out more.
Rachel and I have been blogging for about the same amount of time (I've been at it only a few months longer). She enjoys reading YA (I am such a YA junkie!!) among other genres:
My biggest interest regarding genre is Fantasy. Since having children, parenting books have become very useful to me, and I appreciate cookbooks, though I wouldn't call them "reading" material. I also enjoy biblical fiction, christian non-fiction, self-help, general fiction, young adult, some classics, and a small amount of science fiction. Many of the titles I read come from a collection of favorite authors. Sometimes I pick random books from library discards or bargain stores, and I also peruse the suggestions that Amazon makes to find new titles and authors. Since becoming a book blogger I add to my Wish List from the reviews I read on other book blogs.
She's also participating in a TON of reading challenges! Be sure to check out Rachel's blog, Jacob's Beloved. You can also find her on Goodreads and Twitter. Tell her The Book Vixen sent you :)
