message 1: by Audra (new)

Audra Middleton | 10 comments I was wondering if you all could recommend some fantasy book reviewer blogs worth following.

carol.  | 2616 comments Audra, under our Author Blogs heading, under the Authors section, there's a page on blogs--you might want to start there.

Audra Middleton | 10 comments Totally missed that heading! Thanks. I'll take a look.

malrubius | 71 comments I got a good recommendation from this one:

http://afantasyreader.blogspot.com/

I think it's pretty good. I have been getting back into fantasy and have been looking everywhere for recommendations.

carol.  | 2616 comments Mike--if you want some recommendations, you might check out our Monthly Reads threads--at the top of the folder is a post with all the reads to date. There are some newer classics in there and I consider it one of my go-to sources. Comments may help you know if the writing is to your taste or not.

Audra Middleton | 10 comments Thanks, Malrubius! I'll check it out.

malrubius | 71 comments Thanks, Carol. I was skimming the recommendations section last night and will do so again tonight.

L.Y. Levand (lylevand) | 131 comments There's this, although you'd have to look up the websites/blogs yourself: http://www.amazon.com/Book-Reviewer-Y...

Zero Richardson (zeroangel) I really like Pauline M Ross's blog: http://paulinesfantasyreviews.blogspo...

A lot of indie authors

malrubius | 71 comments Interesting that Pauline gives one star to Hilary Mantel's Booker Prize-winning "Wolf Hall." My wife said it was one of the best books she ever read or listened to, as the case may be. To each her own, I guess.

Zero Richardson (zeroangel) One-star means she couldn't finish it I believe. She explains the ratings pretty well when you read the reviews. Plus she is prolific! I'd say it's my favorite review blog that covers indies because those are the hardest (for me) to justify buying.

Pauline Ross (paulinemross) Thanks for mentioning my blog. All my fantasy and Sci-fi reviews are also posted at Fantasy Review Barn: http://fantasyreviewbarn.blogspot.co.uk/, where I have two fellow bloggers, so lots of reviews popping up all the time.

As for Wolf Hall - a beautifully written book, but too l-o-n-g and s-l-o-w for my taste. It was a book club read, and some of the group loved every last word of it, and some didn't.
