For our first BBAW activity we are asked to share a great new book blog we have discovered since BBAW last year and to explain why this blog rocks our socks off and why we keep going back for more.

Wow – this is a toughie – I have found SO many fantastic blogs that to pick just one was really hard…so I haven’t. I’ve picked five! And here they are – in no particular order:

Jackie – Literary Escapism



Abigail – All Things Urban Fantasy



Rebecca – Dirty Sexy Books



John & JP – SF Signal



Angie – Angieville


There are so many other blogs that I love and visit on a daily basis, but I found most of them before BBAW last year, so technically I can’t list them, but you just have to look at my blogroll on my sidebar to see all my favs :)

The reason the five blogs above are so great is because they always have content that I love to read. Whether it be Angie’s Retro Friday feature, SF Signals Mind Meld, Jackie’s Newsletter which is chock full of fab info, Rebecca’s wonderful, snarky humour that has me cracking up every time I visit her blog, or Abigail’s ability to find and post all the gorgeous shiny newly released book covers! They all have something to offer me and they always make their blogs fun, which is why I go back time and again.

So, tell me your blog discoveries!!

Oh GAWD, am I the only one without an avatar, or an icon, or anything for my blog??? I'm totally honored to be included in your list Carolyn, but seeing my face up there is just… bleck. Crap, I'll have to come up with something to represent DSB. Thanks for the shout out Carolyn. You know BCC is one of the few blogs I check regularly, so you're on MY top ten list, for certain.
