Bloggy Goodness

Unlike Gennie and Rory, I don't really use Google Reader. I do get a lot of site update pushes via twitter and/or facebook, though, so I know when to go looking for content at my favorites. Secondary blogs, I visit when I remember about them, and just play catch up. Perhaps not efficient, but it works.

Favorite Library World blogs:
Collecting Children's Books: Peter mostly deals with older books, plus trivia and trends, but he does so with a sense of humor and a dash of bitchiness.

American Indians in Children's Literature: Debbie is a polarizing person, and I don't always agree with what she has to say, but I always appreciate her point of view.

Mel's Desk: Melissa has great plans and ideas for the under 2 storytime crowd.

Storytime at Richmond Memorial Library: This one is pretty new to me, but I've been going through their archive and getting some nice storytime ideas.

SLJ and Horn Book blogs, including Fuse #8, Read Roger and Tea Cozy, which appears to be missing today.

Favorite Blogs:
Tom and Lorenzo/Project Rungay: Best Blog Ever? Quite possibly. For fans of Mad Men, Glee, and Project Runway, plus fashion in general, celebrities and costume design. (The Mad Men style posts are amazing.)

A Blog About History: Near daily pictures and updates on new archaeological and historical finds around the world.

Boots in the Oven: My cousin and her husband are pretty big food bloggers down in Austin, and their restaurant reviews are amazing. They are setting off on a 14 month trip around the world next month, and I can't wait to see what they eat.

Already Pretty: Fashion tips and tricks that are useful and positive.

Smart Bitches, Trashy Books: Romance novel reviews and commentary.

I like blogs with snappy writing and great pictures, it seems!

I can NOT believe you don't use an RSS feeder.
