Where's Your Book Blog?

Mine is at http://book-dragon.blogspot.com.

Mine has slowly evolved from a mostly-book blog, to a book-personal-writing blog to an scattershot catch-all for whatever I'm doing.

I just started it today. Check it out!

i post several times per week & it's new so i'm still working out the kinks. reviews of fiction, graphic novels and manga. :-)

I'm over at http://bookchronicle.wordpress.com/

Mine's at http://kbookreviews.wordpress.com/ Still a bit under construtction, but I think I'm off to a good start.

here is mine, with sometimes a few over here as well ...

I've been blogging for a little over a year now, but I'm still sort of a newbie at LibraryThing. My blog is kind of eclectic, but mostly devoted to reviews and reading-related posts. Here's where you'll find it - I'd love some visitors:

http://jlshall.blogspot.com/

You can find my blog at http://bookspirit.blogspot.com. I just started it a day or two ago, and its still kind of under construction.

I have several blogs going, but the most "bookish" one is "Joy's Blog" at:

http://jlshall.blogspot.com/

I've had it up for a while now, but only recently decided to devote it mostly to books and reading. But for the moment it has other stuff, too.

My book blog is...

Like many people, I also have several blogs, but my book-related blog is:

In the Shadow of Mt. TBR

I do the Tuesday Thingers, Booking Through Thursday, and The Sunday Salon, as well as post my book reviews.

My book blog is located at:

Mine's at:
http://skrishnasbooks.blogspot.com/

I'm determined to post at least 5 book reviews a week!

Wow, 5 reviews a week is a pretty big commitment.

My book blog is at: http://www.booklorn.com/

I'm still working the kinks out of the template. I'm teaching myself how to make a Wordpress template because I can't find anything I like, but my homemade template isn't ready to use yet.

Good luck with the 5 a week. It's a lot, but I hope you do it.

I just started mine not too long ago. Check it out sometime, if you have a chance.

http://eighthart.wordpress.com/

Thanks for the good wishes! So far I've been doing well, been posting 5-6 book reviews a week! So if you haven't stopped by, please do, I'd love to hear from you!

New book review for The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse

http://nobsbookreviews.blogspot.com

Enjoy!

Before I had a personal blogs, but as lately I read a lot and take part in reading challenges, where I need to post reviews, I decided to create a new blog. So, it was "born" just yesterday :D

htttp://zyciowapasja.blogspot.com

Here's mine:

http://cathyskye.blogspot.com

If I could convert to a three-column format AND keep all my widgets, I'd be a happy bunny! LOL

I launched my blog, Bookish Ruth, late last month:

http://bookishruth.blogspot.com

Stop in and say hi!

Cathy, thank you for the link in your blog to Shelf Awareness. I keep reading about it here on LT but haven't been able to find it until now. You've been indispensible to me twice in one hour!

I just posted a new book giveaway contest. I'll be drawing a name next Friday (August 8)

The book will be chosen at random from my personal library. Just drop a comment to enter!

At The Eighth Art

My book blog is Devourer of Books. I would love to see you over there!

I've had my site up since January. My bibliography page has the links to them and I'm just now starting to post them on my site too. The address is http://www.amberstults.com

I have two:

http://www.myfriendamysblog.com (my personal blog that is at least 50 percent books)

http://thefriendlybooknook.com ( a joint book blog with mom and sister)

I've posted my review of Dali & I by Stan Lauryssens on my blog at:

http://nobsbookreviews.blogspot.com

You can also read it on the book title page on LT.

#26: retropelocin, TWICE in one hour? Wow...sorry I'm a bit late. I've been busy blogging and not checking back in on a regular basis. Gotta change that! I've found a lot of good info on Shelf Awareness, so I'm hoping you're finding it a good resource, too. I've finally got my 3 columns AND my widgets, so I'm happy and blogging away!

32-
Oh please share how you were able to get three columns and keep your widgets! This is something I've been trying to do for some time. I use blogger as well.

Jen--I created a "test blog" so I could experiment without disrupting anyone who might be reading my book blog and then did a google search for "3 column blog templates". It took some trial and error because with several templates the code just wouldn't work. I finally found a template with code that would work properly in Blogger. Then I went to my book blog, copied the code from a few widgets, pasted the code onto the template on my test blog to see if they'd work. Voila! A pain in the butt, but worth it. It's still not exactly the template I want, but until I teach myself more HTML/XML/whatever, I'm happy. If you want to talk more about it, just send me an email-- cathyskye@yahoo.com .

Thanks, cathskye. I think I figured it out.

Great, Jen!

I found a site walked you through the steps of what you need to add to the HTML code to make it a three column. Easy peasy!

not many posts this summer, but now that school is starting I promise more depth and volume -- and I'm always looking for suggestions for what to read next!

TeacherDad's book reviews

I just started book blogging but it can be found here:

New review for The Treatment & The Cure by Peter Kocan

http://nobsbookreviews.blogspot.com

I started a book blog in August:

http://postediting.blogspot.com/

It caters only to the romance genre, and blogs are focused on what worked and what didn't. Thus, it has spoilers, but the idea is to only read the ones on books you've already completed.

Always looking for guest bloggers, so if you love romance but you've plenty of pent-up criticism, please consider doing a guest blog!

Here is my cat and book blog:http://sharonlovesbooksandcats.blogspot.com/

book reviews, a little penguin trivia and an occasional recipe

Stop in, love to have visitors. I'm reasonably new at this so any helpful advice is much appreciated!

I started this year. Mine is called Reading My Life Away and can be found at http://joansbooks.blogspot.com/

As described, it is "A blog of book reviews (and the occasional discussion of literary and other book-related events)."

I have two sites. One where I post stuff, including Book Reviews and one where I post only Book Reviews.

Http://vesselproject.wordpress.com
http://vesselproject.blogspot.com

http://thebookmarque.blogspot.com/

As I read, I also review. Slightly haphazardly, sometimes wittily, always weird.

I just started my blog not too long ago, so swing by and read some, comment some, whatever :) Thanks!

http://readintothis.blogspot.com/

As it is summer, I read. Added quite a few recently to both my "book blogs"

http://teacherdadbooks.blogspot.com/

Corner of the Library at http://cornerofthelibrary.blogspot.com. Some reviews, mostly of 19th century literature; printable bookmarks, the latest being a portrait of Charlotte Bronte.

I just started it. Feel free to check it out:

I just bought my domain name from blogger.

Any suggestions would be appreciated - how did you guys get going?

Mine is

http://manderiffic.blogspot.com

I've almost always included this link in my LT reviews, however, those who have not read my reviews (as well as those who have) can find my book blog at: http://blogs.delphiforums.com/dragonviews. The content is largely duplicated in both my LT reviews and on Dragonviews, however, those who are in the mood to dig will find original content on Dragonviews.

Mine is about an upcoming book: http://mallcopdiary.wordpress.com/

But I was wondering what people think of the pros and cons of using wordpress over blogger or vice-versa. Which do you use and why? I really like how easy it is to change the look of a wordpress blog, but I've heard blogger is easier to network with.

Any thoughts?

I can't speak to the pros and cons of working with Wordpress because I haven't. When I looked into starting a blog there, I didn't like what I saw (too complicated to work with) so I didn't start a blog. And time passed.

Then I looked at blogger. Frankly, I don't care for how blogger is built either (getting to the dashboard and other control areas requires non-intuitive navigation). I also don't like that, in the past, blogger has restricted friends of mine from accessing their own blogs - "checking to see if the blog is being used to spam people" was the excuse given just because the blog in question was getting higher traffic than usual. My friends had not done anything wrong, and their access was later restored. That was just Blogger's way of being overly assertive about their ownership of the domain... While this nonsense took place several years ago, I have not forgtten nor forgiven the Blogger team for being so aggressive for no good reason.

So, more time passed. I took a class on creating background graphics for your blog. I created a blog on the Blogger domain specifically for that class, but have essentially done nothing with it after the class ended. Why? Because the dashboard area is too intricate and difficult to work with quickly. It takes lots of time that I don't have to do anything with a blog there. The one nice thing about the dashboard area of Blogger is that from just one dashboard, you could manage multiple blogs if you set them all up under one user name and have need of more than one.

As for networking, yes, that's easily done on Blogger, if you mean "following" someone else's blog. That's all I use my Blogger for - the convenient links to blogs I'm interested in reading.

My book blog remains at http://blogs.delphiforums.com/dragonviews because I have not found anywhere I like better... even though Delphiforums provides only minimal features for the blog and you have to pay for a DelphiPlus membership to get the blog in the first place, and must maintain the DelphiPlus membership to keep the blog... The arrangement works because I'd be DelphiPlus without the blog anyway, so having my blog there isn't an extra expense for me.

thanks dragones! your blog looks great!

i think i've started to get the hang of working with wordpress - you're right, it looks very complicated but once you explore it a bit it becomes pretty easy.

and what you said about blogger - well that's just ridiculous! i'm glad i didn't sign up with them!

Gee, never heard of those problems with Blogger and I've been there 3+ years. I have seen people though who have lost their blogs when fly-by-nite companies go under. (Back-up, back-up, back-up because companies never let you know when they're in financial trouble).

WP is probably a superior format, has tons of apps/widgets, but I've seen people like Inkygirl leave because of lack of security. (I forget where she ended up.)

But I (we, as there are 3 regular contributors) like things simple. Plus, Google scans us within minutes... to a few hours.

I compose all of my reviews in notepad, so I have the basic text and HTML links (if any) saved on my hard drive. I also have backups of my backups... times about three... and most reviews are copied to at least one other website as well as being posted on my blog. I think I have the backups covered.

You are very wise 1drogones.

My blog is at thebookmama.com

It's a site for parents looking for great books for their 5 -12 year old (and maybe a little YA thrown in).

Plus I always add what I'm currently reading and the wine that goes best with said book.

There's a specific category for "reluctant readers" and some suggestions to get those little ones reading.

You can also find my tweets @abookmama. It's a daily quote from a random piece of literature.

My book blog is The Book Stop at http://thebookstop.wordpress.com/

I review literary fiction, historical fiction, fantasy, science fiction, and some young adult. No romances. Recent reviews include Tongues of Serpents by Naomi Novik, A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan, Just a Geek by Wil Wheaton, and The Passage by Justin Cronin. I read and talk about a wide variety of books. I also talk a lot about e-reading -- I love my Kindle!

Hope you'll visit.

73.> Let's just say I learned the hard way that backups need backups need backups...

I've added a new weekly feature to my book blog (The Book Frog). Click on the Linky at the bottom of my Reading Roundup post, and link to your favorite book review or book-related post of the past week.

Planning to start in on my blog again soon. You can find me at http://deusexlibrus.wordpress.com. I review mainly religion/spirituality, fantasy of various kinds, and some other assorted non-fiction. I'll also be doing manga starting with this latest return.

Right here: http://appendixa.net Reading, Googling, posting. Come stop by.
