Yesterday, I shared 10 of my most read blogs with you. Today, I’ll share another 10. Remember, these are in no specific order. Oh, and this time, why don’t you share one of your most read blogs? Go ahead, comment. You know you want to.
1. Oddee- A quirky, fun blog/website that has crazy ads, inventions, and the like. It’s a great place to kill time if you’re bored or suffering from insomnia.
2. Forever YA Lit- I’m a HUGE fan of YA literature, and Jessica helps indulge that need for me. She has great reviews, author visits and book signings, and giveaways. My favorite feature of hers? Her Saturday Link Party. She shares great links from around the web about reading and writing, as well as contests.
3. The Pioneer Woman- I’ve raved about the PW on here many a time, and I’ll do it again. I got the chance to meet Ree this past spring, and she is SO nice and cute. She’s hilarious, and has a ton of great recipes on her site. I live my life vicariously through her, and you should too. I have this slight delusion where she invites me up to her lodge for a weekend and teaches me all of her secrets. In my delusion, all of her recipes are calorie-free. I told you I’m delusional.
4. Three Cheers for Babies- I came across this site about a year ago, right after the triplets were born. Sadly, little Annaleigh didn’t make it. Her brother and sister are doing great though, and are possibly two of the cutest babies in the universe. If you have some time, I HIGHLY suggest starting at the beginning of this family’s story. It’s heartbreaking and heartwarming all in the same moment.
5. Wan Life to Live- I’m not sure how I stumbled across Wan, exactly, but I’ve been stalking reading her blog for quite a while now. She’s funny and down to earth, and has a super-cute little girl. Wan is the real-life friend of Weezermonkey. What a pair those two must be!
6. What the blog- Oh Jenny. She’s a member of my online book club, and a hilarious one at that. Jenny’s shared her trips through infertility, pink hair, the scarf with pockets, and now her journey into motherhood with triplets. Yes, you read that right: TRIPLETS. Little P, B, & J (as she is affectionately calling them) are going to have one rockin’ mama.
7. Book Hooked- This isn’t just another book blog to me. Julie is the kindest, sweetest Southern Belle and she truly loves to read. She and her hubby just got an adorable little puppy that makes his way onto the blog occasionally. Julie is a librarian at a technical college and she is forever amusing me on Twitter with her student stories. We laugh, but she truly does care for them and goes WAY above and beyond her duties in the library.
8. Crystal’s Chronicles- Crystal and I have been online friends for a while now. She’s a fellow reader, writer, and cupcake lover who now serves as my critique partner. We’re both plowing our way, rather ungracefully I might say, through our first novels and helping each other along the way. She’s way cooler than she gives herself credit for. Oh yeah, and she reviews books. That shouldn’t surprise you. After all, she is an online friend of mine. Most of us are book nerds.
9. Joelen’s Culinary Adventures- I’ve been following Joelen since way back on blogspot. She’s a big part of the culinary community in Chicago, as well as online. She has fantastic recipes that real people could actually make. I would love to sit down and have dinner with this lady sometime, because she and her foodie friends throw fabulous potluck dinner parties!
10. See Heather Write- I was introduced to Heather and her blog through some of my Twitter friends. As I mentioned, I play at being a writer, and I can always use good advice. Heather is (I’m sure) a much more skilled writer than me, so I take her word for it. She often shares great writing links from around the web, and she’s funny to boot. Can’t beat that!
Okay folks, that about wraps up this post. These aren’t by any stretch of the imagination ALL the blogs I read, but they are a good start. What are your top 10?
