Armchair BEA: Book Blogger Love

Today's theme for ArmchairBEA is the network of book bloggers - if you mosey over to the main site, there's a post of blogger-on-blogger interviews, as well as a selection of posts (like this one) spotlighting favorite fellow bloggers. If you're new to the idea of book blogging, or just like having a near-limitless resource for reviews and bookish news, then you will not want to miss these posts! Okay, I'll stop doing the introductory spiel and start sharing my favorite blogs ...

I've got to do a special shout-out for the first book blog I found, quite by accident:
Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers
This is a fun blog, with a cooking/kitchen theme that makes me hungry if I stop to think too long about it. Reviews and memes are posted with a fun style and there is always something interesting to be found.

Now, for a sampling of some of my other favorites, in no particular order (well, okay, the Librarian in me demands alphabetical order):

• Austenesque Reviews
  Featuring reviews of all things Jane Austen - including sequels, prequels, variations, and giveaways!
• Chick Lit Reviews
  Specializing in British chick lit (I confess, my favorite!), but also having American Weekends. A great place to discover new authors from 'across the pond' as well as new American titles too.
• Chick Loves Lit
  Fun blog with a lot of YA titles and frequent author interviews. 
• Confessions of a Book Addict
  A lot of YA reviews, and fun giveaways too. Plus, for most of May, Christina's posts are a "kickoff summer" theme - loads of great beachy/summer reads!
• Luxury Reading
  Vera and her amazingly prolific "staff" keep this blog updated with reviews like crazy. Also giveaways like crazy. Another of my first book blogs - and a great resource for readers!
• Passages to the Past
  Historical fiction-focused only, and great giveaways. Need I say more?
• There's a Book
  Danielle (who also takes care of American Weekend duty over at Chick Lit Reviews), and her two kiddies specialize in children's lit from picture books to young adult - and everything in between. Also featuring month-long spotlights of specific publishers, which is a great way to learn more about the industry. And giveaways. Lots of giveaways.
• WriteMeg!
  Books, pictures, cupcakes/recipes. Yup, Meg's got 'em all! Fun blog with book reviews interspersed with adventures and recipes. Love this one! 

This is just a sampler of the book blogs I follow and love - there are so many great blogs out there, it's hard to narrow down the list. And I'm always discovering new ones too, which makes it even harder! But it's a happy problem to have, for sure. Hopefully I've introduced you to a new blogger or two, and I definitely look forward to seeing what everyone else is reading too!
