Since I haven’t been blogging (among other things) as faithfully as I should, I thought I’d take a few minutes to suggest some other sites for you to visit. This is a small sampling of the book-reading-writing-publishing-related blogs that I check in with on a fairly regular basis. It is, in tech-speak, my own “literary blogroll.”

This is only a partial list, but it’s more than enough to get you started. Some of these sites are independent, some commercial, some very information-and-detail oriented, some rather casual, some quite witty, some just weird. But all of them help feed my addiction for reading about reading. They help me keep up with new releases, old favorites, industry trends, new and established writers, and different ideas.

Undoubtedly, not all of these will be your cup of tea. Like me, you might find a few that you only want to visit once a month or so (or never again), but there may be others that will make it to your daily surfing list or your RSS feeds. Best of all, most of them offer their own lists of links, so that you can drop in on one site, find a few good suggestions, and head off for hours of fascinating blog visits.

In no particular order:

Literary Saloon

Bookslut

Omnivoracious

Bookninja

The Shifted Librarian

Booksquare

Arts Journal — Publishing

Emerging Writers Network

Bookdaddy

Book World

The Olive Reader

LitPark

And if you still need something else, I must once again recommend Neil Gaiman’s Journal, which is still the one blog I absolutely can’t live without, as I discussed in considerable detail earlier.

Some day, I might plow deeper into my bookmarks file and list even more blogs, but this should be enough for now. In the meantime, feel free to share your own literary blogroll by e-mail or in the comments.
