I’m looking for newer, smaller blogs (although older, larger blogs are fine too!). People with a fun style that’s unique to them. Books, music, personal or a mix of all those things is fine.
To get the ball rolling, I want to tell you all about a blog that I love -
Tales of Whimsy: books, mamahood & random lovelinessThis is one of my favorite blogs to visit. Tales of Whimsy is a simple, inspirational blog that just forces me to relax and appreciate life whether she’s posting a book review, a crafty idea, or a beautiful picture.
She’s also reminds me to blog about what I love and simple is sometimes the best when it comes to posting.
So tell me – who are the blogs/bloggers that I should check out? Feel free to include links or Twitter handles so I can check it out.
Thanks!
I love finding new blogs, too! I found Keertana's blog, Ivy Book Bindings, this year (http://ivybookbindings.blogspot.com/) and I really love it. Also, I'll always love Jenny's blog, Supernatural Snark (http://supernaturalsnark.blogspot.com/) :)
ReplyDeleteI love Jenny!
DeleteI'm checking out Ivy Book Bindings right now - Thanks!
Like you, I have a small group that I visit with daily -- I'd be sad to lose them! -- but I'm always on the lookout for new blogs to read. I just started reading the Book Swoon, a relatively new blog with a clean, simple design and style.
ReplyDeleteI think most blogs are simplifying or at least becoming more about their own personality instead of cookie cutter. I'm glad to see it - I just wish we hadn't lost so many good bloggers.
DeleteAwwwww OMG I am so excited that you featured me. *hug* I'm so honored. Thank you! *hug*
ReplyDeleteOk so here are my suggestions. Charlotte use to be a book blogger back in the day but these days at her new blog she posts art, books, recipes, and other lovely things at http://www.midnightcaramel.com/. She's honestly sweet and fabulous.
Another one of the top of my head is Shannon at http://www.happinessisblog.com/. She is so chic, funny, and always posts pretty and creative things.
Happy hunting! :) And thanks again.
Thanks - I just visited and love both of those blogs!
DeleteI am always trying to find new blogs...as other bloggers quit :/ But it's hard as I do want certain things
ReplyDeleteWhen you read so many blogs it's hard to find new ones that stand out.
DeleteHere are some book blogs that I love because they are personal friends (bias here) and/or just generally amazing. My friend Monica just started up at The Novelista (http://monicathenovelista.blogspot.com) and my friend Emma is freaking intelligent as all-get out at Booking Through 365 (http://bookingthrough365.blogspot.com). I also think you would like The Bloggess (www.thebloggess.com) because she is the most inspiring person ever.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI do read The Blogess. I love how honestly she speaks about depression and other issues.
Thanks! I don't follow enough non book blogs :-)
ReplyDeleteMaja and Jenny's blogs are awesome. I'll be sure to check out the others.
ReplyDeleteHm.. I don't have one that hasn't been mentioned here or that I'm pretty sure you don't already know. Most of my faves are on my sidebar but I don't know if any are very new. Hm... must put on thinking cap that doesn't seem to fit today. :D
ReplyDeleteI think I've already scanned your sidebar before lol That's how I find a lot of new blogs - along with links in the comments.
DeleteGreat idea for a feature! I will check her blog out!
ReplyDeleteJen @ YA Romantics
So sad when we see bloggers leave the sphere. Check out Ali@My Guilty Obsession, Lily @ Lily Ponds Reads, Kim @ Book Swoon
ReplyDeleteI tend to put the blogs I like to visit in my sidebar, so I'd suggest looking there if you're curious! It's mostly book blogs, but I have few other ones too, like Why Girls are Weird. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat topic, Karen! I' going to peruse all the links in comments. I'm not following the blogosphere as intensely now so I was unaware of many blogs quitting :( To my shame I can't even suggest any new blogs, because I haven't gone looking.
ReplyDeleteIf you like this blog, I'm sure I will like it too. Going to go check it out.
ReplyDeleteJuju's blog is very cute. I think we run in pretty much the same circles, but I always enjoy visiting Love is Not a Triangle, Flyleaf Review, YA Romantics, The Reader's Den (they do adult titles and romance as well), Starry-Eyed Revue, Ivy Book Bindings....and too many more to count. :)
ReplyDeleteWendy @ The Midnight Garden
Looking forward to checking out all of the blogs mentioned, as I love finding fun new blogs. I recently rediscovered Jaime over at http://www.jaimelovesstuff.com, who writes reviews and tidbits from her life. I really love how her personality shines through!
