Book Blogger Appreciation Week- My Favorite Blogs

For me, the best part of Book Blogger Appreciation Week is the opportunity to recognize some of my favorite bloggers- those new to my reader and the favorites I return to again and again- and promote them to my readers. To me, that's the essence of what BBAW should be about- appreciating our fellow bloggers.

This year I've added some great blogs to my blogroll.

• Indie Reader Houston, written by the great blogger Cassandra, has become a new favorite. She writes great reviews of audio and print books in all kinds of genres.
• Enrique Freeque's Forum is an eccentric, wonderful blog about obscure literature and the winding ways of the bookish life. 
• Books, Personally, is another great literary fiction blog that I've discovered recently.
• Books, Yarn, Ink and Other Pursuits covers, as you might gather, more than books. It's a fun blog.
• Books and Bowel Movements is about the former, not the latter, and it's a great book blog you seriously need check out now.
• Karen the Small Press Librarian always has something interesting to report about the world of the small press.

My perennial favorite blogs include:

• A Guy's Moleskine Notebook. Matt's and my tastes in books are very closely aligned; reading his blog is like reading about the books I haven't read yet and the books I already love.
• Nonsuch Book. Frances is the queen of the literary blogosphere, period.
• Fresh Ink Books. Sandra's blog is another top-tier literary fiction blog.
• ImageNations. I always learn something new and fascinating from Nana's blog about African literature.
• Lakeside Musing was one of the first blogs I read and it's still one of my favorites.
• Lizok's Bookshelf provides awesome coverage of Russian books.
• Scobberlotch, about reading and writing and all things literary.

And, you know, just go check out my blogroll on the right-hand side for more. What are your favorite blogs, old and new? I hope you find a new favorite or two here!
