Book Blogger Appreciation Week

It’s 2nd Annual Book Blogger Appreciation Week! What does this mean? Well I am not really sure. I do know that it was started by My Friend Amy last year and she continues the hosting duties this year. This year I am sure is bigger and better than ever which really should be that hard considering there is only one BBAW to compare it to.

So to celebrate and to do my part, let me right now vocally appreciate some book blogs! These are a few of the ones that I follow regularly and get a kick out of.

A Newbie’s Guide to Publishing
What I like about this blog is that he talks a lot about E-Book publishing which is a topic I am interested in. He is also a published author and you can find his books on his Amazon page.

Awful Library Books, Book Covers Anonymous, The Book Design Review
I like blogs dedicated to book covers.

Georgia McBride
I like her blog. She had me at Twitter Poems.

let’s talk about writing
She’s a fellow Portlander and writer.

Only gets updated a few times a month but when it does it normally has interviews from various authors or other people of interest.

Reading Local: Portland
THE source for all things book-ish in the Portland, Oregon. Not from Portland? Reading Local recently expanded to offer Seattle and are currently looking to set up shop in other major cities. Maybe you could offer them a hand?

Stuff Dreams Are Made On…
I like the books he reads and I enjoy his posts.

Naturally, this is not the complete list of blogs I read. But it’s almost my bedtime so it will have to do for right now.

Feel free to recommend any blogs you feel are noteworthy.

General Stuff
Since January 2008 I have been using this blog to write about the books i've read and other book related news that I find interesting. I also find pirates interesting so from time to time I may blog about pirates. I see this as killing two birds with one stone.

Review Policy
Dear Publishers/Authors,

I am always willing to discuss reviewing you book on my blog. Discovering new authors is one of the things I love about book blogging. However, I do not accept all books for review. If it's not in my usual genre chances are I am going to decline the offer.

A couple of genres I dislike are: Self-Help, YA Paranormal, Hardcore Science-Fiction, and Depressing Memoirs.

Some genres I really enjoy: Pirates, Satire, Pulp Fiction, Queer Fiction, YA Fiction (Non-Paranormal and Non-Gossip Girl-esq) and Comical Memoirs.

Here's the thing. If you e-mail me asking me to review a book, I will always respond and let you know if I am interested or not. If you don't hear back from me, feel free to send a follow-up e-mail. No longer will I just ignore your e-mail.
