Saturday Specials (4)

Cool new blogs!

Jenna @ Scribbling Books
"I am a sophomore in high school and an avid YA reader. My life seems to revolve around reading, for hours and days. I especially like reading YA fiction romance. Paranormal romances I think are the best. My favorite character would be hard to choose. There are so many great authors I keep stumbling upon, and I can't wait to read what they have to write and their style and idea on things. I hope to be an author in the years to come in my life."


Helen @ Helen's Book Blog
"I was blogging on my school's website (I'm a Teacher Librarian), but I
realized I wanted to say more sometimes so I started a personal blog all
about books. I love it!"


Eleni @ La Femme Readers
"Hi! My name is Eleni, I'm 24 years old and I reside in New York. I love reading and sharing my opinions about books. I mostly enjoy YA type books, especially Supernatural and Urban Fantasy...I love anything with vampires :) My blog, La Femme Readers was created so I can share my thoughts with other bookaholics. It mainly consists of book reviews, author interviews, giveaways, etc. I love my loyal followers and always appreciate my new ones as well."


Kapri @ Book Fanatics
"I started this blog because I absolutely love reading and decided it would be fun to share what books I read and how I feel about them. I review most of the books I read on my blog. I also love how I can see all the other book lovers out there and what they are reading."

Cool new blogs!

Sara @ YA Vampire Books
"My name is Sara and I have been blogging for about two and a half months. I was born in Sweden, but I have lived in the US (Washington D.C) for six months (during December 08 - May 09), so if my grammar sucks sometimes, you know why! ;) My blog is basically about Vampires. I mostly write about vampire books (Books I want to read, and reviews of books I have read), but also TV series, music and movies. I have a weekly future called Vampire of the Week, where I future hot vampires! (Edward, Angel, Spike, Bill - you know the drill! :p) If anyone has a suggestion for a future Vampire of the Week - don't hesitate to tell me!"


Erin @ Erin Explores YA
"I'm currently completing my Masters of Library and Information Science. My blog was originally part of a course I took on young adult materials. I decided to keep it up once the class finished. I try to highlight Canadian authored or Canadian published YA whenever possible. Also, I'm participating in the CYBILS this year as a first-round judge in the MG/YA Non-Fiction category."


Kari @ A Good Addiction
"I am a 24 year old bibliophile and aspiring author that spends my downtime living the fictional world, both my own and others. I post updates about my novel progress on my blog, partly just because it motivates me to keep going with it so I have something to update rather than just not doing it. My favorite author of all time is Jodi Picoult and I have read all her books but the first 3, which got pushed to the wayside when I came into the YA world hard and strong and now that I am writing a YA fantasy novel of my own, I seem to be stuck in it but when I read those books, and her new one coming out in March, I will be posting tose reviews as well on my blog. For YA Authors, I really like Rick Yancey- I recently read the Monstrumologist by him and LOVED it. The Darkest Powers, Vampire Academy, and Percy Jackson series are also ones that I really enjoy and appreciate the writing in it."


Danielle @ Opinionated? Me?
"I like to think I offer witty, in depth reviews of YA, horror and fantasy books, as well as movies. I'm a high school student (fresh-meat, baby) and often use this to determine whether a YA book features "realistic" angst or "adult" angst--as in, the type of angst adults assume all teenagers have even though most teenagers would beat up any kid who was whining about said angst. I update about two to four times a week."


All these blogs are awesome so be sure to check them out!

Saturday Specials (1) [Cool New Blogs!]

So this is a new meme I started, it was inspired by The Story Siren's Fresh Face Friday.

These are some new blogs I've discovered recently or ones that I've been visiting for a while and are still pretty new:

Lindsay @ Crazy Books & Reviews
Lindsay started her blog in October and it looks great. She reviews YA, Christian fiction, and occasionally adult fiction. Her most recent review was for Before Midnight by Cameron Dokey- an awesome book!


Maria @ Fantasy Ink
Maria started her blog in early November and already has a bunch of cool
reviews and memes up. She's done Waiting on Wednesday and has reviewed
some great books. Most recently The Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan. Her
favorite genres are fantasy, paranormal romance, romance, and thriller.


Nicole @ Who, What, When, Where, Why
Nicole's blog began in late September. She's a college student at Berkeley
and loves YA fiction. She's reviewed a bunch of books I'm eager to get my
hands on like Deadly Little Secret and The Cupcake Queen.


Lena @ Book Addictions Gone Wild
Lena's blog came to be in late October and she already has a fabulous
background and header. Her reviews are great, most recently she reviewed
Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater. She also has a contest going on for a copy of
Take Me There by Susane Colasanti. Enter here.
