Margie: Hi there Miss Kim. Now it’s your turn. Have fun.
Please tell us a bit about yourself…
LOL HEY MARGIE! This
is a tad odd being on this side of the interview. Let’s see if I can get this
to not sound like an ad for online dating…..
Hi guys, I’m Kimberly Rocha. I am a 47 year old mom of three awesome if
not odd semi-adult beings .. Gabrielle 27, Jason 19 and Daniel 14. I am a
photographer slash book club maven slash author assistant etc. I live on Long Island in the house I grew up
in. I love country music, 80’s and Latin
music. Hmmm can’t think of anything else you’d want to know.
When and why did you decide to start Book Obsessed Chicks?
Back when Twilight was HUGE, I happened to find a rather
awesome group of ladies who had read all the books and were as nuts about them
as I was.. I started having “Twilight Chick Nights” at my house where we would
do trivia, eat awesome food and just have a great time. By the end of those
nights, we always talked about other books we had been reading, so one night I
said, “Well how about us starting a book
club”… With the help of the most amazing
Denise Scarangella and her equally wonderful sister Holly, Book Obsessed Chicks
began terrorizing Long Island.

What are your goals for your blog and the Book Obsessed
Chicks?
Wow, that’s a big question. I used to be happy with my
little circle of #BOC chicas, but the more authors I meet and come to love; I
find that spreading the word to help them takes precedence for me. That being said, I would love for Book
Obsessed Chicks to be widely known for connecting readers and author all over
the place.
Who are your favorite authors?
Woman.. you put me on the spot!!! Ok my all-time favorites are Sherrilyn
Kenyon, Bertrice Small ,Anne Rice, BJ Daniels,
Christine Feehan, Carolyn Brown, Lorelei James, Delores Fossen, Bronwen
Evans, Samantha Kane… Oy I have like 1000 more… My NEW favorites are Christi
Caldwell, Wendy LaCapra, Kerrigan Byrne, Anabelle Bryant…. Ok so if I answered
this it would take up a whole page…
If you could trade places with any author, who would you
choose and why?
OMG this is a freaky question…. I think I would want to trade with BJ
Daniels. She lives in scenic Montana,
always looks like she’s having fun and has an awesome husband dude who cooks
gourmet meals for her… I would LOVE someone to cook for me for a change…
Barbara, don’t be freaked out, I promise I won’t stalk you
What new books have you been blogging about lately?

will tell you about my favorites LATELY that I blogged.

What do you do when you’re not promoting and blogging about
great books?
LOL I help promote my awesome authors. I read about a book a
day. I host amazing book club nights with my fabulous team of lovelies. I am so
happy to be hosting Sherrilyn Kenyon on May 3, right across the street from my
home. I go to Country Concerts… ie: Chris Young*sigh* .. I babysit the #wondertwins and I try to
