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.
- 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.

Hi, I am stopping by to visit your blog via the list of posts for Day one
Please Stop by My Blog of you Like
I follow about 1/3 of the blogs you mentioned-I will check out others-have a great BBAW
Books and Bowel Movements?! Hm...
thanks Marie. I have checked on some of the links and now following. Thanks for the lead.
Aw, thanks so much for the mention! What amazing company ... wonderful blogs on your list, and some new ones I am off to check out right now.
Many of those are new to me blogggers! I seem to have a busy day ahead of me! Some are blogs I truly love and are my favorites. Enjoy BBAW!
I knew a few of these, but you've given me some new blogs to explore.
Thanks very much for the mention, Marie! And thank you, too, for introducing me to some new blogs to subscribe to.
I haven't "met" some of these bloggers! Thanks for the list of great bloggers.
Sometimes I think the best thing about blogs is all the creativity used in coming up with titles! Obviously it's hard to beat Books and Bowel Movements! LOL
Aw, thanks for the mention! Very sweet. I'm enjoying visiting all the BBAW posts today to discover new blogs like the ones on your list. (Will I get anything productive done today, I wonder?)
Wonderful list you got here!
I had a hard time choosing. But I opted for totally unheard of blogs. Isn't that the intention of community? To spread far and wide!!
Here is my post:
BBAW 2011: Community
Great choices for the list. I read quite a few of these, and I will definitely check out the others. They are in such good company. :)
Thanks for adding my blog to your blog roll and appreciating! I've been swooning over yours for a while - so we love each other - YAY!
YAY for blogger appreciation as well - everyone is a winner :)
I always have something to look into when I visit, now more blogs.
I mentioned you on my blog - thanks for being a 1st commenter that still visits :-)
A lot of these are new to me, so I must check them out.
Lots of new to me blogs here - thanks!
I'm especially liking the lists of newer blogs that people have found because chances are that I haven't heard of them yet. I love my established list but I'm also ready to branch out a bit more. Thanks, Marie!
Lots of great new blogs to investigate here! I have heard of quite a few, but a few are brand spankin new to me! Thanks for sharing these with us. I am loving all the bloggy love out there today!
Great picks! Several of those new blogs are new to me, and I now have even more to read. Happy BBAW!
Thanks for the wonderful recs, Marie! I'm off to visit some of these new-to-me folks immediately!
Nicest bookish compliment I can remember. Sooo sweet of you. Now off to check out three of those newly added. xo
You've made my day, Marie. Thanks so much! I always enjoy my visits here (you were one of my early discoveries, too) and will definitely check out the new blogs you've mentioned.
I LOVE Matt, Joanne and Frances. Everything you say is true. Now about these other guys, I need to get in gear and check them out...
Oh my, how can I not check out a blog titled Books and Bowel Movements?
Many of these blogs are new to me. I will be off to check them out now!
You know, Marie, part of the reason I like obscure books is because I like being obscure. How am I supposed to remain obscure if you go pimpin' me like that? You know how many more blog hits I've gotten today because of you? Like, a lot! A lot more than the parameters of "obscure's" definition would seem to justify, that's fer sure.
Nah, I'm kidding. 'Preciate it more than I can tell.
Now if you'll excuse me, I feel me a good book and bowel movement coming on ...
Lots of new-to-me blogs on the list! I wish I had more time in the day to visit and comment at all of my favorites ever day. Adding more is inevitable and exciting, but makes me wish for super-human reading and commenting powers.
Thanks you so much for mentioning me! Your blog is one of my favorites - I love that you read so many different things! I especially love that we share our appreciation for Europa Editions!
Nice recommendations -- most are new to me!
Some new-to-me blogs and a couple of favorites too. Thanks
I love Premieraudiobooks.com free weekly e-mailing. It keeps me informed. They give you The New York Times Bestselling list and books info. They do a good job.
