We invite you to share with us about a great new book blog you’ve discovered since BBAW last year! If you are new to BBAW or book blogging, share with us the very first book blog you discovered. Tell us why this blog rocks your socks off and why you keep going back for more.
There are SO many blogs I discovered this past year. My Reader went from 50 to 250 in the course of the year. My favorites? Let me share so that you too can discover these wonderful bloggers!
- Devourer of Books – Jen has such great taste in books. She is the force behind Audiobooks Week and the upcoming Chicago Authors event. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Jen face-to-face, and she is just as lovely in person as she appears on her blog.
- A Girl Reads A Book – Bella is the mastermind behind my new blog design. She is a wonderful designer and an even better blogger. Conscientious and supportive, Bella is a huge believer in community. She is also undergoing a book-buying ban this month. Check her out and throw her some support!
- The 3 R’s – Florinda is a west coast blogger who is on the top of my list of people to meet in real life. She helped create Armchair BEA this past May, to help the rest of us who did not attend BEA in NYC this year not feel left out. She did a fantastic job, and the support for Armchair BEA was amazing. Florinda’s blog is definitely worth a visit!
- my books, my life – Michelle is a kindred spirit and another one who is on the top of the list of people to meet in real life. Her taste in books and thoughts on them are remarkably similar to my own, and her outlook on life is fun and carefree. While she is an avid Michigan fan, I can forgive her that by recognizing the fact that she is at least a fan of the Big 10!
These are just a small taste of bloggers I have enjoyed getting to know over the past year. Who makes your list?
Thanks! They are probably the four blogs who contribute most to my ever-growing wish list.
Great blogs! I read all three and always get great recommendations from each!
My recent post Review for Broken Hearts by Rowan Coleman
Oh, that's not right! You deserve blogging love, especially after all your work with Armchair BEA!
Since as far as I know, you're the only one who did mention me, I especially appreciate it :D!
Have fun checking out Bella! She's great.
Thanks, Bella! You are my go-to designer if I ever want a new design. It will be a long time before that though!
Thanks! It's all Bella!
Thanks so much, Caitie!
I think I cheated even more and included you even though I probably shouldn't have. Oh well! You deserve the recognition too!
LOL! Let me guess – just call us the Three Musketeers!
Thanks, Jenn!
Thanks!! It's my favorite time of year!
Amanda, rules are made to be broken!!
No, as a Michigan fan, I can't imagine that is even allowed.
Will do!
Thanks, Ronnica!
I have issues with Michelle only when Wisconsin and Michigan play against each other. I can still respect her though.
Thanks, Christina!
Thanks, Iris!
Excellent choices! I follow a couple on Twitter and love Florinda and her weekly book bloggish link round-ups. A Girl Reads a Book is the only one I haven't heard of, so I'm off to check it out! =)
My recent post BBAW- First Treasure
Michelle,
Thank you for the shout out. I had so much fun designing your blog, and always get a kick out of reading your great posts!
Thanks!
These sound like some great blogs that I need to check out! Love the blog design :o)
I generally cheer for Penn State unless they're playing Michigan or Michigan State. I have never and will never cheer for Ohio State under any circumstance. 😉

Aww, thanks so much Michelle! You're going on my (also cheating) list when I have a chance to get it up, as is another blogger you mentioned. Who will it be? Oooooohhhhh, the mystery.
My recent post For the King’s Favor by Elizabeth Chadwick – Book Review
I agree, all the blogs you spotlighted are phenomenal!
I just pretend that you really love either Ohio State or PSU ….
You guys are all making me envious that I followed the rules and picked only one!! 😀
My recent post Texas Book Blogger Party
Aww thanks, Michelle. I just added Bella to my reader – I hadn't been reading hers.
PS – Check out my interview on A Few More Pages tomorrow for some reciprocal love. 🙂
