Kittling: Books Kittling “is a Gaelic word that means “anything that strikes [my] fancy”, and that pretty much sums up my reading tastes. Although I do have a strong perference for crime fiction (mysteries), I also love historical fiction, history, biographies, time travel…anything that satisfies my craving for strong characters, story and setting.” Cathy has a list of favorite mystery series that I would like to emulate, only mine would be different because I haven’t read any of hers –yet. Cathy also has feature called Scene of the Blog which show us pictures of where those bloggers we know and love actually blog.

A Work in Progress I’ve had Dani’s blog in my feedreader for a long time. I like her because she’s not pretentious, but she reads a lot. And often she reads the kind of books that I want to know about. Dani’s the one who introduced me to Persephone Books and to the Modern Library Top 100 list. I have several books on my TBR list because of her reviews.

Bookgasm is a prolific blogger, heavy on the news and giveaways and new releases and reviews of new books. I liked this list of 50 Reasons No One Wants to Publish Your First Book, kind of snarky but funny. Bookgasm is edited by Ron Lott.

The Drowning Machine is “swimming upriver in the river of books.” But right now Corey Wilde, the blogger at The Drowning Machine, is busy with The Watery Grave Short Story Invitational. Sounds dangerous to me.

SInce I have to choose, I think I’ll go with Jen’s Book Thoughts on this one. Her layout is clean and inviting, and the content is spectacular. I especially the idea of the Six Word Memoirs.
