The Reading Challenge Group discussion

Book blogging has recently become a (small) obsession for me. I find it rather liberating writing about everything I read!

Does anyone else own a blog? Book-based or otherwise!

I like to think I'm a serious book blogger; I'm addicted to it.

I absolutely love both of your blogs, Michael. I feel a bit stalkerish when I always comment on them!

Don't feel that way, social networking is a little stalkerish but it's a great way to interact with people with common interests

That is very true, plus you review some great books!

I review a lot of terrible books too :p

I don't read those ones ;)

You should read all my reviews :3

You are slightly biased when it comes to that point!

I have a few blogs but not exclusively just books. My main blog sometimes has my book reviews:

http://klandersen.blogspot.com

then I have a couple of trading card blogs (one of my other hobbies)
one is generic: http://captkirk42.blogspot.com
and one is specific to Washington Baseball: http://curlywcards.blogspot.com

Ah, the world of trading cards! It's been a few years since my love for that has died out.. Found my old collection of yugioh cards the other day. It was a proud moment

I have a couple of review blogs which I try to keep current

I hope you enjoy them.

I've tried and failed to make a book blog when I was 10 or so, so it's not really that great, but check it out: http://teenbookmania.wordpress.com/

DO NOT JUDGE THE TITLE ;)

I have a blog!
Not that big:)

I really need to get back to my blogging... Haven't done it in a while!

I've very recently started blogging, so there isn't much there right now, but I'm aiming to try and review every book I read, so hopefully it won't be too long before I have a respectable amount of content!

It's here: http://mybooksandmeblog.wordpress.com/

Holly - what's your blog? I followed the link on your profile, but it said the blog had been moved or something.

I've noticed :P

Sorry, Lian. I changed my blog's name a while back.

I'm now at Bookians.

Michael, I'm sorry! I'll try get back into it!

Thanks, Holly!

I'm a blogger, but I don't blog much about the books I read. I do blog about my personal challenges and adventures, though.

Hi, I'm a blogger, but I mostly blog my own stories.
I do include some book reviews, when I get around to writing them!
I'm hoping to do a set of reviews for the books I've read in the last few months, so hopefully I'll get them out some time early January.

I've just started a blog for my family
skiffingtonsingermany.weebly.com

It has nothing to do with books. :P

I do. :) andimhalfwaytoit.weebly.com
It's not 100% book related, but I'm thinking of changing that. :)

I am doing Young adult book reviews for a children's website that just started that my friend made called http://kidzonereviews.wordpress.com and you can find my reviews at the reviews by Amber section of the website. I hope to have more YA book reviews up there soon including my review of the last ya book I read Un Lun Dun by China Mieville and will have a movie review up there too of Shrek the Musical so be sure to check it out.

I have a blog at www.VAforAuthors.com/blog but I haven't posted since November. Busy writing for it though. I post on topics that will help authors promote their books. I like to have guest bloggers too who are either authors or have something to say that will help authors.

I also like to review books so am setting up another blog at www.TeaAndaGoodRead.com that will be just for book reviews.

Awesome Sarah. Let us know when your book review site is up. I have my first YA book review up at Kid Zone reviews of the YA fantasy book Swords of Winter by G.L. Lathian and will have another YA book review up there soon of Un Lun Dun by China Mieville up there soon too.

Thanks for the message. I will let you know, Amber. I don't generally read YA so if I get any requests to review then perhaps you would like to do that for me?

Thanks Sarah. Def check the kid zone reviews website out. I'm doing the YA book reviews for a friend who made the childrens site and she is going to do children book reviews, childrens movie/tv reviews and I'm doing the young adult books. if you ever need YA book reccomendations, let me know.

I have a book blog among others where I post about books, reading etc. - Not a professional reviewer but I do review my personal choices of reading. The latest post is on the various reading challenges I'm attempting this year
My book blog http://albertareads.wordpress.com

I have a mainly book related blog to keep track of what I've been reading, reviewing and what is going on in the book world. It helps focus my mind on book related things and I'm enjoying keeping it.

Ha! Clever and entertaining. I loved your Name of the Wind review.

Thanks, glad you like it.

I just created my tumblog yesterday! Have a look!:)

http://sweetgal1234.tumblr.com/

I have two blogs, a tumblr, filled mostly with photos and some music (hardly any of which are my own)

and, also a more traditional wordpress offering called "POORLY WRITTEN, VAGUELY EDITED" and I think that fits it's brief - but perhaps it will offer you occasional vague amusement? check it out and let me know! http://mediocremayme.wordpress.com/

I have a blog where I co-host a weekly book podcast with a friend. It keeps me reading and lets me articulate (or attempt to) my thoughts on the stories we read: http://reignofbooks.com

We have a lot of fun talking about scifi/fantasy and don't shy away from praising or ripping apart some books. (It's laughably bad until you get to Episode 7...)

I kinda feel like starting I've done one review but I'm not all that quick with reading and I get sidetracked

I have a blog for my Young Living business
http://us.ylscents.com/RobertandSaraS...

I am just starting out, so there is not a lot there yet.

Blogging allows a lot of opportunity for fun book previews/reviews. Here's a tongue-in-cheek Radio Trailer of my first impressions of the epic Wheel of Time series.

For my blog: http://klandersen.blogspot.com
Tomorrow (Wednesday) I should have a review of the latest Warehouse 13 episode 5.5 "Cangku Shisi" (Warehouse 14) that aired Monday night.

I am also working on a post about the latest NCIS news. The NCIS season 11 final episode airs tonight along with the final episode of NCIS:Los Angeles. My post does not review those. My post about that news I plan on posting Thursday.

You know what's a cool hook for your blog?

BOOK TRAILERS! Of course you have to practice your "movie trailer" voice. I'd love to hear a good female movie trailer voice. That would rule!
