Tif Talks Books: Online & IRL

Good Monday Morning, 
and Welcome to Armchair BEA Week!


For the kick-off of Armchair BEA, I would like to introduce myself, but I'm going to do it in comparison form!  Hopefully, this works!

Online:  I'm known as Tif, a book blogger!

IRL:  Most people know me as Tiffany, but I prefer Tif (with only one f).  I'm an avid reader, mother of 2, wife, advocate, and employee of higher education.

Online:  I use an avatar that I created.

IRL:  This is the real me.  (Does my avatar do me justice?)

Online:  I'm a bookworm and literacy advocate.

IRL:  I'm still a bookworm, but am an advocate on many fronts, literacy and books being just one of them.

Online:  I read just about everything.

IRL:  I still read just about everything and can be found doing it just about anywhere.

Online Random Fact:  This week I will be celebrating my 4 year blogiversary!

IRL Random Fact:  I am fascinated with bags ... totes, purses, etc. ... but the one condition before I will buy it is that a book must fit into it!



Online Features:  I host the Fairy Tale Challenge here as well as the Tales to Tomes Online Book Club.

IRL Features:  I host nothing but a barbecue every so often, but my hubby does the grilling!

That's me, in comparison!  Did I miss anything that you are just dying to know?!?

  6. I love this format! Very clever. Happy four year blogoversary -- that's awesome! (And I'm with you on bag size. What good is a bag if it can't carry one's most important accessory??) Have a wonderful Armchair BEA!

  12. Oh, wow! 4 year blogoversary! That is a lot. :D Congratulations.

    So excited to be a part of this, since I had no chance at all to get to the real BEA. Live in Sweden and am a student... Not enough money for that trip sadly.

    Nice to meet you. :D

  13. You, me, and bags baby! I love bags too, and I have to say you are the first person I've met with the same interest. I've met "purse" girls, but never another "bag" girl. :)
