Can you all list some good blogs that give good recomendations and have some good info?

[kcf]

I could, but I'm not sure if that is keeping with current board policy. I'll let a mod weigh in before I send the time to do it.

O, if this is not allowed, please delete it.

Thanks....tox

Check out page 4 of the "Fantasy Sites" thread. Werthead has a very extensive list of blogs there.

[kcf]

it's a great list, but is only author blogs. There are many others worth reading - publisher blogs, editor blogs, agent blogs, fan blogs, review blogs, etc. Werthead did a recent round up on some of the fan blogs he follows on his own blog a couple weeks ago - it'd be great to have that list up (and not just because my blog is on the list ;)).

As I said in the other thread, there are a lot of good blogs about.

I think the members offering can be relied on not to abuse the system. After all, they're not trying to sell anything.

So, if you're so inclined, feel free to have a go at a list.

Select blogs that I follow:

Fan/Review Blogs:

A Dribble of Ink (http://www.aidanmoher.com/blog/)– Aidan is a member around her and has nice reviews, occasional interviews and some interesting commentary.

Adventures in Reading (http://joesherry.blogspot.com/)– Joe’s blog covers lots of short fiction which makes it stand (he also covers novels of course). It’s a good insightful place to be.

Eve’s Alexandria (http://evesalexandria.typepad.com/)– If you are interested in true criticism that isn’t limited by genre, then this blog will make you smarter.

Fantasy and Sci-Fi Loving Blog (http://sqt-fantasy-sci-fi-girl.blogspot.com/)– A great all-around blog with features ranging from books to movies and all things in between.

Fantasy Book Critic (http://fantasybookcritic.blogspot.com/)- A great place for reviews and giveaways.

Fantasy Debut (http://fantasydebut.blogspot.com/)– Tia’s blog focuses on new authors and their debut books.

Graeme’s Fantasy Book Review (http://www.graemesfantasybookreview.com/index.html)– A great review blog.

Grasping for the Wind (http://otter.covblogs.com/)– Another great review blog.

Mysterious Outposts (http://mysteriousoutposts.blogspot.com/)– Controversial blogger Gabe Chouinard makes a return to the blogosphere with interesting and challenging posts and thorough reviews.

Neth Space (http://nethspace.blogspot.com/)– I’m totally biased, but let’s just say greatest blog ever!

OF Blog of the Fallen (http://nethspace.blogspot.com/)– Larry enjoys ruffling feathers and rocking the boat and loathes misplaced metaphors. This should be on everyone’s reading list.

Pat's Fantasy Hotlist (http://fantasyhotlist.blogspot.com/)- for better or worse, it's THE SFF blog. Great for reviews and contests.

Realms of Speculative Fiction (http://sf-fantasy-books.blogspot.com/)– A wonderful blog with multiple contributors, all hailing from Europe.

Rob’s Blog o’Stuff (http://www.blogorob.blogspot.com/)– because if I don’t mention Rob’s blog I’ll get banned :P (it really is a good read though).

Sandstorm Reviews (http://sandstormreviews.blogspot.com/)– Great reviews and scalding satire of the Yeard.

SciFiChick (http://scifichick.com/) – A great blog of all things sci-fi.

SF Signal (http://www.sfsignal.com/)– They’ve been around a while and will keep you up to date on what’s going on in the genre.

Stainless Steel Droppings (http://www.stainlesssteeldroppings.com/)– Carl’s blog features great reviews and awesome posts about SFF art and other odds and ends.

The Bodhisattva (http://www.fantasybookspot.com/jaytomio/)– No blog list is complete without Jay’s blog.

The Book Swede and His Blog (http://thebookswede.blogspot.com/)– Another good review blog.

The Wertzone (http://thewertzone.blogspot.com/)– Adam provides great reviews and moves beyond books into the world of games and the like.


These are only a fraction of the blogs in my RSS feed and blogroll. I'm sure I've overlooked people who should be included.

If I can find the time, I'll include another list of author/editor/publisher blogs not already covered by Werthead.
