Our Blogs

[Bookchronicle]

As this is a community for book bloggers, I thought it would be a good idea to get a post going where bloggers can discuss their blogs. Ideally feel free to comment with the title and a link to your blog as well as a brief summary of what kinds of material you generally blog about (e.g. young adult, nonfiction, romance etc.).

[Amanda]

I keep up with two blogs. One is my general blog home where my book reviews are located and it is called Amanda's Weekly Zen. Amanda's Weekly Zen is the place I talk about books, products reviews and photography. I also blog about Disney World on my blog Mouse Beat.

I have been blogging at Weekly Zen since 2004 and at Mouse Beat since June 2008.

My husband wants to move to celebration one day. We live in Charleston, SC and we go to Disney about 3 times per year. My four year old has been 17 times! It would be so much easier if we just lived there!

[SciFiGuy (Doug Knipe)]

Well I have been reading science fiction and fantasy for decades and more recently dove into the paranormal and urban fantasy pool. Thought I would share my passion for these genres so I started blogging at the beginning of the summer.

You can catch my book reviews, commentary and other genre news over at www.scifiguy.ca.

Always interested in ARCs to share the news early about great new titles.

Hi, I'm Christina. I actually just started my book blog today :-) So there's only one review up. I'm not sure how well I did with it. I love books though and I love to talk about them. My blog is here. I'm not really pleased with the layout but not sure where to get a good layout or template. I would like a three column template that will allow you to add stuff like pics and polls and things. Anyone know of any like that?

[Phoebe Jordan]

I used this really amazing website called The Cutest Blog on the Block to get a three column template and the background layout that I have on my blog Talk About My Favorite Authors. Check it out and if you need help you can join up to the forum of the website or ask me and I'll try to help.

My blog. Is coming along slowly. I kinda like the layout. I'm working on it. My blog is going to cover reviews of all kinds of books: fantasy, mysteries, Christian fiction, fiction, contemporary classics etc etc. Just whatever I'm reading at the time. Drop by and visit :-)

My book blog is Pick of the Literate, http://bookrevues.blogspot.com/I don't really review since I find reviews often reveal more than I want to know before reading a book. I recommend based on my tastes which admittedly lean heavily to scifi and fantasy. I will read anything up to and including phone books if nothing else is available. I periodically digress on things like "why parents need to say no" but for the most part I confine Pick of the Literate to books. On my other blog, Money Saving Tech Tips and Philosophic Musings, http://money-saving-tech-tips.blogspot.com/ I do more soul searching kind of stuff amidst my tech tips.

I sold my business two years ago and am now just doing some tech consulting and web pages so I found a need for increased self expression. I did write some preschool kids books on things like "why daddy hit mommy", and posted them for free download at www.bentrim.info My illustrations skills are dreadful so if anyone is interested in re-illustrating those books, please let me know. If one kid can be helped because they have a better understanding of their life, the books will be a success from my point of view.

At this point, it is probably apparent how my blogging got going, I do tend to ramble.
Visit any of my sites and let me know if you want to link or comment.

My blog focuses on reviewing books that are part of a series.

http://bookseriesreviews.blogspot.com/

I read (and thus review) primarily Urban Fantasy, but I don't limit it to that.

[Mrs S]

I've been blogging at Blue Archipelago since January 1 this year - i started the site to review the books I read; I planned to read 50 books this year. 60 odd books later I have discovered an amazing community of booking bloggers and spend as much time following their blogs as I do reading books!

[Michelle Sutton]

My blog http://edgyinspirationalauthor.blogspot.com is a place to find book reviews, book giveaways, thoughts about my writing journey, thoughts about the books I'm reading, blog tours, pics of family and friends, and more...

[Sandie Kirkland]

My blog is Booksie's Blog at http://booksiesblog.blogspot.com/ . I have some general posts, a list of what I've read this year, upcoming books I hope to read, and reviews of what I've read. The most recent posts are for Music and Silence by Rose Tremain, which I absolutely loved.

[Corinne]

My blog called The Book Nest. I read a lot of different things (I belong to two book groups which stretches my horizons :) but my favorite genre is young adult. I love recommendations and comments from friends :)
