It seems there is a big world of blogs about books

Here's an interesting item from Publisher's Weekly:

Newspapers may be continuing to cut their book coverage, but the Internet is home to an ever-expanding hive of blogs about books. Some 250 book bloggers attended the first-ever Book Blogger Convention in May, an event held at Manhattan's Javits Center the day after BEA ended. Sponsorships from major New York houses and lots of love from independent presses helped cement book bloggers' place in the industry. Here's a list of all 200-plus attendees and the links to their blogs: bookbloggerconvention.com/attendees.

Click on that hot link and then...stand back! A _horde_ of blogs about books will come pouring out at you. Some of them look quite interesting. Or, you might decide to write one, yourself. Let us know what you think, okay?
