Fantasy Aficionados discussion

Love books? Review them? Blog? Feel free to link your blog here.

My blog:

http://theftandsorcery.wordpress.com/

It's pretty new, and my topics so far have been pretty mishmash, though I intend to keep them focused on something which is somehow connected to writing/reading. My aim is for a 'proper' post every Monday.

My blog is pretty informal. In fact, it's called Another Day, Another Face because it's likely to be something a little different every day. I do plan on reviewing books as I finish them, though. Anything under the category "Book Reports."

Another Day, Another Face

We have a fairly active blog - it has been live for about a month now and we have a lot of fun doing it

Silk Screen Views

It's just a personal blog. No nothing special. Whatever I happen to be reading and whatever genre it is. Right now there's a mash-up of romance, erotica and fantasy.

All of them are old reviews that I'm pulling off of GR.

Hi :)
My blog's just a lil bit of something I add to at least once a week...

Hi all - I blog about historical and fantasy fiction at http://fresh-scrapedvellum.blogspot.com/ I try to update it once of twice per week, and focus quite a bit on fantasy and historical fiction with medieval settings.

I'm so excited to have the opportunity to add all these to my Feedly feed! :) I really like the variety so far, too!

I have one and recently have spent a ton of time formatting and posting... Now have 66 book reviews up and a linked index. I'm totally excited because the author of Wool Omnibus left me a comment on my review of his book. :D

Carol, that's so gratifying. Cheers!

Wow, way to go Carol!

It's interesting visiting everyone's blogs, kinda like meeting friends outside of school or colleagues out of the office.. =]

Sophie, you're right. That's exactly it.

At Fantasy Literature we review fantasy, science fiction, horror and comics. We've currently got 3427 reviews from a team of hand-picked reviewers, some who you may know from Goodreads. We'll be six years old in June. Happy reading!!

Mine is mostly random stuff, but I do occasional reviews, too.

My blog is caffeinatedlife.net. I post predominantly about books (book memes, book reviews, book lists, etc.) but I also post about television shows, movies, comics, my writing and photography depending =)

I don't know if it's too late to post here now, but due to the latest changes in GR policy, I finally broke down and created a blog of my reviews here: http://minorpagefault.wordpress.com/

I also posted some python code that I created to help with the transfer process; it converts spoilertags to hacky equivalents for librarything, booklikes, and wordpress and removes gr book links for mass import. There's also a function that converts reviews to blog-text; it can't be mass imported, but you just need to copy the text directly into the html/rawtext for BL or WP and it shows your review, plus the title, author, rating, and it attempts to get a picture of the cover from googlebooks. It's what I used to copy over my reviews; hopefully it's useful for someone else as well. It's here: http://minorpagefault.wordpress.com/2...

Thanks, Carly. I'm following. :) Personally, I'll still be here, but I've got an escape route prepped. I might have to consult you some day if I go the Booklikes route. The trouble with blogs is that there isn't as much dialogue.

Thanks! I'm following you :)
I'm going to stay here also, but I want somewhere to transfer my reviews in case GR summarily decides that nitpicking is "contrary to the tone of the site" or something, or reviewers really start fleeing the site. I'm having trouble with BL--they appear to strip HTML, and I can't test because their servers are too overloaded. The biggest utility of my code for me is that it autogenerates "blog versions" of my GR reviews that I can copy-paste into WP (with cover pictures. I like pictures). The problem is that I haven't done web python (Django) and don't have time to fool with it, so I can't post it as an online service without actually doing work. Until then, you'd have to download and run the python code ("python < filename.py >")

I finally started my website/blog: http://olgagodim.wordpress.com
I’m a writer and I’d like to interview readers on my blog – the people who make what I do worthwhile. I want to know about you. Who you are, what you read and why you read it. If you’re a writer yourself, I also want to know about you – but as a reader. I’m not collecting stats or anything; I don’t need your personal info, if you’re not comfortable providing it, just your personality: cheerful or cranky or rebellious. I also want to know about fantasy artists; I’d like to interview some of them and share their links with my readers.
If you’re a fantasy reader or a fantasy artist, I’d like to profile you on my blog. If you don’t mind sharing your story, please reply to this message or contact me: olgagodim@gmal.com.
Thank you.
Olga

I also started duplicating/expanding my GR reviews on a blog:

As long as my groups keep having wonderful discussions and my goodreads authors keep interacting with us, I will stay here...but I wanted a place to back up my reviews (and use for Netgalley so that they will send me ARCs :D ).

I've also followed those of you who posted your links above...it is nice to have reviews from people who I know are fantasy-loving bibliophiles (not shills or trolls).

Actually, I don't review books in my blog, although I've reviewed software and a few other things. I think the reason is a few of the books I've read recently were from people I known and I didn't care for them. My rule on this is: If you don't like it, not say anything. But if you do rant and rave. That's the rule I give to people reading my novels and stories so it's the one I follow as well. Perhaps if I find a new book that I like I'll review it.

My blog, One Thousand Worlds in One Thousand Words, is just a couple of months old, but has already had nearly 6300 hits. I showcase the first 1000 words of fantasy and sci-fi books. I also offer the opportunity for authors to get interviewed and I'm always happy to hear from writers in these genres.
