On the way to organising a walkingtalkingwriting ‘blogroll, this is the beginning of search for LITERARY FRIENDS, "literary blogs" / "book blogs".
Weblogs that are – "… writing about reading":
First impressions – there are 2 types of weblog; the ‘collective’ (some in magazine format), and the ‘individual’ (ie generally one person). Some lists of Links on weblogs seem so enormous that I do not believe they can all be true LITERARY FRIENDS! Here is an initial short-list.
For the ‘collective’, go to:
the literary saloon and search its extensive links
then try:
Brit Lit Blogs and search its links for both ‘collective’ and ‘individual’
and look for the links that recur, such as:
bookslut
and
bookninja
For the ‘individual’, walkingtalkingwriting thinks these might become LITERARY FRIENDS:
seenreading
and
maudnewton
and
bookworld
(but how does Sandra do THAT much reading?!)
And dont forget to check out the recent
Guardian literary blog ‘top ten’ award
Whenever lost, or unsure where to go next, try
Arts and Letter Daily ("… ideas, criticsm, debate")
with its enormous lists of online (USA bias?) –
Newspapers
Magazines
Book Reviews
Columnists
Favourites &
Weblogs
