There's Nothing Like a Little Paranoia on a Sunday Afternoon
12:20 PM
I don't know if you've noticed, but I seem to be getting a little paranoid in my old age. Yesterday, it was sci fi/fantasy books I missed out on as a child; today, it's book blogs. I've been around the book blogosphere for awhile now, but I'm still finding new ones. I love it. I'm just stressed about all the wonderful blogs I might be missing out on. I know you're wondering, "Doesn't she have anything better to worry about on a Sunday afternoon?" Well, I stayed home from church with my sick 10-year-old; my husband took two of the others to church; the baby's asleep; I have ground beef thawing in the microwave so I can have dinner ready by the time the hubs gets back; I'm caught up on reviews, so no ... I guess I don't have anything else to worry about on a Sunday afternoon.
Last week, my Microsoft feeder went all wonky on me, refusing to update and such. So, I showed it by converting to Google's reader. I'm sure there's a way to export feeds from one to the other, but I haven't the foggiest idea how, so I typed in each and ever one of my blog URLS manually. I have hundreds. It took hours. The good news is I have all my favorites together and Google's working fabulously for me. Since I was overhauling my feeder, I also cleaned up the links on this blog. So, would you do me a favor and give the list a glance? It's on the bottom of the left sidebar. If you write a book blog, make sure I haven't forgotten it. Also, tell me which ones I'm not reading that I should be reading. I just don't want to miss anything. See what I mean about paranoia?
Oh, and if you haven't commented on yesterday's post, I'd love to hear your recommendations :) And, yes, some day I will post an actual book review.

Comments make me feel special, so go crazy! Just keep it clean and civil. Feel free to speak your mind (I always do), but be aware that I will delete any offensive comments.
P.S.: Don't panic if your comment doesn't show up right away. I have to approve each one before it posts to prevent spam. It's annoying, but it works!

I'm forever finding book blogs I want to follow, and even with the vast number I follow, I always feel like I must still be missing out on some good ones, but I suppose that is just the way of things.
ReplyDeleteA few of my favorites that I don't see already on your list are Caribou's Mom, The Book Lady's Blog, and Nothing of Importance.
Oh gosh there are so many good blogs out there, aren't there? LOL. Do you think we could invent a career out to this somehow? Finding and friending book blogs? LOVE IT. :P
ReplyDeleteYou're so fun! Have you ever checked out the BBAW Directory? It's a very comprehensive book review blog directory. The button/link for it is on my sidebar in my blog.
ReplyDeleteHope dinner came out well!

Um, did I count FOUR kids AND you're caught up on reviews?! Will you come run my life? ;)
ReplyDeleteIf you enjoy Fantasy Books, this is a great one for all ages:

Wow ... what a wonderful list of blogs. Book blogs are insanely addictive, aren't they?

Meanwhile, Pete’s eight-year-old brother, Jason, has been having powerful dreams that lead him to a mysterious realm known as DreamWorld. Jason discovers that all of his desires can come true in DreamWorld, but the time is fast approaching when he will have to choose between his two worlds.
And when more devastating news strikes at the heart of the Colby family, Jason and Pete set out on a desperate attempt to find the Gateway to DreamWorld and save their family. With time running out on their dangerous path, will Jason and Pete’s fear of the Unknown keep them from reaching the paradise of their dreams?
