Blogger Blog Tour - Joyfully Jay

Joyfully Jay

Hi there! Thank you so much to R.J. for inviting me here today to talk more about my blog, Joyfully Jay

What is Joyfully Jay?
Joyfully Jay is primarily a m/m romance review blog, although we also cover some f/f, m/m/f, and other GBLT combinations. We typically run 4-5 posts a day, Monday through Friday. The first post of the day is almost always a guest spot from an author or publisher, followed by 3-4 reviews a day. I am so excited that we are celebrating out 3 year anniversary in September! The blog has grown a lot from when it was just me talking about books to where we are now.

Why did you start Joyfully Jay?
I started the blog mostly because I love to talk about books. I was commenting a lot on other blogs, but I really wanted to be able to share my thoughts in more depth so I decided to start my own. At the time, there were very few m/m blogs so I was sort of figuring out things as I went along. Now my favorite thing is to read the comments and chat with readers about books they like (or don't like). There is nothing like the thrill of reading a fabulous book and getting to share it with others!

Who are the Joyfully Jay reviewers?
I am so thrilled to have seven fabulous reviewers reading and writing for Joyfully Jay. In addition to me, we have Crissy, Jason, Michelle, Kris, Sammy, Amy, and Angi. If you want to know a little more about us, you can check us out on the About Us page.

What are some cool things I can find on Joyfully Jay?
Well, as I said, we have reviews and guest posts pretty much every day of the week. We also have some fun features and things you can explore on the blog. Here are some highlights:

• Favorites: We love to share our favorite books in all kinds of areas. Each month, we do a Monthly Favorite Books and a Monthly Favorite Covers post. You can also see our Favorite Book lists where we highlight our favorites in a specific theme or trope, like Favorite Rock Star books, Favorite Enemies to Lovers stories, Favorite Bad Boys, and more.
• Throwback Thursdays: Each Thursday we review a book that is at least 2 years old. It is so much fun to go through old favorites or books we missed the first time around and share them with readers.
• Series Spotlights: These posts look at an entire series at once, with mini reviews for each book and an overview of the series
• Theme Weeks: Usually once a year we do a week celebrating a particular theme or trope. Some of these have included Rock Star Week, Jock Week, and Men in Uniform Week.

How can I find book reviews on your blog?
