Looks like I'm going first. Big thanks to Shelley for putting this together, too.
My Google Reader is probably over-populated and I break it down into Blogs, Friends, Crafty, Food and Library. What I really need in there is a good Children's Reader's Advisory blog; is there such a thing? Here is an example of an adult one I've found very easy to keep up with (and, yes, it is written by my current professor, but I promise I'm not just sucking up. She doesn't know I'm writing this. Sheesh.) I want something that's not just reviews of new titles, but old as well and makes links between titles. And makes coffee.
I'm also a faithful reader of Regretsy, New Dress a Day, Mimi Smartypants, Angry Chicken and Smitten Kitchen, just to name a few. I like a snarky sense of humor and yummy looking food that I might actually make myself. For my own quality of life, I've chosen not to read blogs by those so totally taken with their own greatness, fame and big house that I want to vomit or blogs by people who make me feel crappy about myself/my housekeeping/my parenting just by being so damn zen.
And now you know (and knowing is half the battle!)

Abby is pretty good about readalikes, but mostly focuses on new books for 5th grade and up.

Charlotte's Library is probably more of what you're looking for, but it's mostly sci-fi and fantasy.

Hopefully others have some ideas, too, because I'd love to find one, too.
Meanwhile, I'd never heard of Mimi Smartypants before, but she's hilarious!
