Updated blog list (repaired)

[N.B. for some inexplicable (read poor coding) reason, about a third of the list did not display in the first post...so it is gone, replaced with this enumerated list. Enjoy]

The bookish folk are becoming more…er…verbose. Here is a wee list of the book blogs that have crossed my bow recently. Most I read (or have at least read through the backlog as some are very infrequently updated), a handful have been suggested by others. I plan to keep updating this list periodically and will probably be grouping the blogs by focus area “to the right,” as it were (the goal being that it will be easier to find book blogs of interest). The following is in no particular order and additions are strongly encouraged (though, preferably, with cogent thoughts as to why). So with no further ado or gilding of the lily, I offer the following:

1. Bookfinder's Blog [One of the best hybrid [industry and personal] book blogs out there]

2. Book Ninja [funny, sharp and sporadically updated]

3. Beggars of Azure [runs a brick and mortar shop, writes well, posts with some frequency *and* is a fan of A.E. Newton...what more could one ask for]

4. Sarah’s Books – Used and Rare [young, funny, sharp, passionate and trapped in northern(ish) Maine…great fun to follow, highly recommended]

5. Rasputina's Rare Books [appears to be a collector's site, lovely images of some of her times]

6. Novel Gazing [In 1999, she won the Isaac Asimov Award for Undergraduate Excellence in Science Fiction and Fantasy Writing and gave up physics for writing...engaging]

7. A Bookseller's Journal [interesting and updated frequently]

8. The Bookologist [online resource newsletter in blog form for online sellers...good info generally as well.]

9. Rare Book News [A really nice spot to keep a finger on bits of significant news in the rare book world...highly recommended]

10. BiblioBlog [interesting blog, religious spin, but of all flavors]

11. Bookmouth [writer and random creativity artist...rather cool]

12. Cat's Cradle Blog [no recent posts, but some nice content...perhaps they shall return]

13. Used Book Blog [also not recently updated...a trend, perchance]

14. Bookworm [“love of learning, love of books” love this site. Content rich, well crafted]

15. Booklust [“A bibliophile's musings on books, cartoons, art and stuff” ...great blog…great reading]

16. Bookslut [books, publishing, book culture, etc.]

17. BookBitch [prolific, sharp and witty...heavy on chicklit]

18. Holt Uncensored [blog of a former book reviewer for the San Fran Chronicle on the inner workings and seedy underbelly of the industry]

19. So Many Books [“the agony and exctasy of a reading life” very nice]

20. Brandywine Books [about books and bookish things, been around for years, far better than average]

21. Bookblog [interesting concept...basically an online reading club...well followed]

22. The Millions (a blog about books) [reviews and bookish thoughts]

23. Maud Newton [Brilliant and bookish, “occasional literary links, amusements, politics, and rants”]

24. BookSquare [a blog by and for writers...and those of us who like to snoop...nice “industry” inside spin]

25. Book Angst [not updated of late, but great backlog]

26. Chekhov's Mistress [great title, solid liberary blog, a bit of an acquired taste]

27. Buzz Balls and Hype [book reviews and bookish thoughts and musings]

28. The Happy Booker [another great blog name over a very funny blog]

29. Confessions of an Idiosyncratic Mind [great blog if your obsession is crime fiction]

30. Atomic Books [“Literary Finds for Mutated Minds” books and banter]

31. Pod-dy Mouth [“Wading through the sea of Print-on-Demand titles, one overpriced paperback at a time--and giving you the buried treasure.” Great resource if you are into such thing]

32. Old Hag [reviews and community commnetary...good reading and good links]

33. Moorish Girl [She lives in the wrong Portland, but maintains an engaging blog]

34. Ignatius Insight Press [blog of the Ignatius Press...great blog if you are a Jesuit or are so inclined...recommended by one who should know (no, not me, I am barely convinced humans exist)]

35. Pinky’s Paperhaus [“Podcasting writers who rock” interesting concept for the ipod equipped”

36. Literary Dick [Great blog on and about the mystery genre and all things related]

37. Bibliodyssey [“eclectic bookarts” is in their description and it serves them well…lovely site, content rich, be prepared to lose time]

38. Philobiblion [History, books, politics...think feminist]

39. Using Books [a great blog on books and bookselling [and he rants less than I, a big plus]]

40. GrumpyOldBookman [He suggests he is an acquired taste, maybe...but he posts frequently, and they are cogent, funny and...er...long...great reading]

Addendum:
MetaxuCafe [the creation of Chekhov's Mistress' Bud Parr, a litblog network or...rather an aggregator of litblogs and the like...sacrifice an afternoon and poke about]
