Friday: Featured Blogs for 20 June 2008

by Annie Mueller

These Are Worth Your Time

  • Book Reviews for Real People is one of my favorites. Jim and Maria Duncan write quick, insightful, funny reviews on the books they’ve read. Recent titles include “The Year of Living Biblically” (A.J. Jacobs), “The Evolution of Useful Things” (Henry Petroski), and the most recent is “The Angel on the Roof” (Russell Banks). The posts are kind of sporadic as far as timing goes, but I always go see what’s there when a new post goes up.
  • Creative Writing Contests is a blog you should know about if you’re a writer. Updated often, with helpful categories and pertinent information about manywriting contests. It’s definitely worth adding to your reader so you know when a new contest opens up. Also, if you’ve not checked out the site before, scroll through the recent archives for contests you might be interested in.
  • Liz Strauss at Successful Blog is my most recent add to my Google Reader. I haven’t had a chance to read through the archives yet, but I will be spending some time there. Her “Successful Series” alone will take me a while. The information here is amazing, timely, and helpful. Go read something. You’ll learn.

And as always,

make it a good day.

    Sorry I didn’t get by sooner to say, “Thanks!” My blog has gotten so huge that I’m reorganizing it so that folks don’t overlook some of what you’ve just found.

    I’ve been a fan of your blog for a while now — since 2006 http://www.successful-blog.com/1/thanks-to-week-24-sobs/

    You’re welcome - thanks for the reference back to the SOB award. I wish I could take the credit, but I wasn’t the writer for this blog then. There have been several great authors. I’ll be adding that button to my sidebar, though.
    Thanks for all the great info on your site. It’s a great resource.
