Top Ten Favorite Book Blogs/Bookish Sites

Happy Top Ten Tuesday over at That Artsy Reader Girl!

Top Ten Favorite Book Blogs/Bookish Sites

I'm excited to share my favorites and see all of yours too! There are so many great book blogs and bookish sites out there!

1. Tor.com

Tor has my favorite bookish newsletter. I love their book recs, articles on important SFF topics, and ongoing commentary on SFF TV and movies, like the new Picard Star Trek!

2. JewishBookCouncil.org

I subscribe to their newsletter and love their 'Visiting Scribes' articles, by authors with recently published books. They also introduce me to a lot of Jewish interest books I might never have found on my own.

3. Electric Literature

I actually found Electric Literature on Facebook, mostly when they have grabby headlines like The Secret Origins of Amy March or other bookish candy clickbait. They also publish some really hard-hitting and insightful looks at the literary zeitgeist, like We Need to Start Taking Young Women's Love Stories Seriously

4. BookRiot

BookRiot has a lot of fun content, and I read a lot of their book recs and lists, like the 45 Best Feminist YA Books

5. Modern Mrs. Darcy

I'm a fan of Modern Mrs. Darcy's posts about books, life, and especially  "Links I Love," often on bookish/writerly topics. 

6. The Perpetual Page Turner

I love Jamie's chatty and cozy posts, like the recurring "If We were Having Coffee."

7. That Artsy Reader Girl

I've been enjoying getting to know Jana's personal book blog, outside of the Broke and the Bookish and Top Ten Tuesdays. I especially enjoy the interviews with new authors, like this one!

8. Biblibio

I've enjoyed Biblibio's reviews for many years, and I've especially enjoyed the #WITMonth (Women In Translation) posts the past few years, like this most recent one!

9. Fantasy Cafe

I've also followed Fantasy Cafe's Leaning Piles of Books for many years, and especially Women in SFF Month guest posts, like one from Elizabeth Bear!

10. GoodReads

I'm late to the party on Goodreads, and I don't love everything about it, but it's got solid book-counting and tagging tools, a decent newsletter, and avenues for bookish discussion. I count on it for crowdsourced, volume-heavy reviews.

Goodreads made my list this week too.

Book Review: The Speed of Clouds by Miriam Seidel

Book Review: The Speed of Clouds by Miriam Seidel *To Be Released from New Door Books on April 10, 2018* Mindy Vogel is haunted by the future. In frequent daydreams, she toggles between her real, wheelchair-bound life and the adventurous life of her fanfic alter ego, SkyLog officer Kat Wanderer. She's haunted by all that Kat can do which she cannot---belong to an organization of comrades, walk, and fall in love---yet. Because at twenty-four, Mindy's future is very much ahead of her, wheelchair notwithstanding. Through Mindy's "SkyLog" fanzine and related emails, Seidel evokes Star Trek fandom around the turn of the millenium, but also creates a new and compelling science fictional universe, similar to what Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl  does for the Harry Potter fandom with "Simon Snow." Mindy is among the pioneers transitioning fandom from print to digital, boldly encountering like-minded individuals from the comfort of her chair behind the monito...

Books with Single-Word Titles

Happy Top Ten Tuesday over at That Artsy Reader Girl! Books with Single-Word Titles These are all my favorite books that I could think of with one-word titles. A lot of fantasy, a few nonfiction (minus subtitles) and Kindred , whether you consider it scifi or historical fiction. Also two portmanteaus using the word "bitter."

Inheritance by Christopher Paolini 6. Meditations by Marcus Aurelius 7. Stoned by Aja Raden (has a subtitle) 8. Educated by Tara Westover 9. Fledgling by Octavia Butler 10. Kindred by Octavia Butler

The Ten Most Recent Additions to My Book Collection

 Most of the books I buy these days are ebooks, or books I'm technically "renting" (I guess that's the right term?) on Kindle Unlimited. I also get a few ebooks for review, usually from LibraryThing or directly from authors. Mostly I get books from the library, but I also try to buy/preorder from my favorite authors--sometimes ebooks or sometimes an actual book if I don't have a signed copy from that author yet! Here are the most recent books I've either bought or rented (TBR would be a whole other list!). Happy Top Ten Tuesday over at That Artsy Reader Girl!
