As our assignment, we have to find 5 book blogs we like and why. Here are mine.
One book blog I like is this one http://youngadultbookreviews.com/. It has a long list of archives from previous months on the side. It also has a search box so I can search for relevant books I would like to find. And plus, it features a summary of each book and a suggestion for its audience and a basic theme, example, this book is about coming of age. That is why I like it.
Another blog I thought was good was this one http://loveyalit.com/. This blog is put up by two people named Nora and Em. It has two paragraphs for the plot synopsis and a sum up at the end. After that it has a rating by Nora. On the sides it has an introduction to Nora and Em. At the bottom it has links to reviews, archives, and other possible book blogs.
This is another book blog that was especially good, http://iwasateenagebookgeek.blogspot.com/. This blog has links to other blogs on the side and an archive on the other. It has a blurb, that seems like its from the book. Then a review type of blurb, some personal comments. And finally something at the end which can range from excerpts to interviews. I liked it because it felt more personal, not just and informative boring posts.
This is my next to last blog I thought was really good, this is it, http://lisadgibson.blogspot.com/. This blog has links to other book blogs on one side. On the top it has multiple tabs where you can see reviews by title, or rating. Also they have a list of books they are reading or have read, and something that appears to be excerpts from a book they are writing. The thing I liked best is how they put a blurb from a professional review maker, and then they put "my take" on the book. Then they gave it a rating.
And now, the final book blog I liked, http://yannabe.com/. This is a blog written by good reader (there are lots of book reviews). There are links to most recent posts, most recent comments, and popular posts. In their reviews, they give a short plot synopsis, what they liked and didn't like, a small excerpt from the book, and a sort of spinning the post out into the world with a few last sentences. That's what I liked
So there you have it, a long post with 5 different book blogs, a description, and what I liked. Ta da.
