Book blogs rule. No, they really do.
Okay, book-related blogs. Anyway, here’s some of my favourites for this year (alphabetical order):
A Cat of Impossible Colour - lovely blog from Zimbabwean/New Zealand author, who also has amazing fashion-sense!
Awful Library Books - and yes, they are quite, quite awful. But most of them are also quite, quite hysterical!
Beattie’s Book Blog - a round up of book blogs (especially in New Zealand) just isn’t complete without this. A great accumulation of book-related news.
Books I Done Read - Canadian. Funny as all get-out (Get out!).
Caustic Cover Critic - Funny, and yes, caustic blog dedicated to book cover art (good as well as the screamingly bad).
Christchurch City Library Blog - One of the BEST in NZ, Christchurch Libraries have done an amazing job of having a great web presence. Recommended highly!
Editorial Anonymous - a fun and interesting insight into the publishing and editing process.
How Books Got Their Titles - exactly what it says. Fascinating little anecdotes.
Just Add Books… - fellow NZ book blogger and Twitter friend. Funny. Very funny. Claims I am too picky. Shocked!
Overkill - blog from Vanda Symon, NZ crime author.
Peter Wells Blog - from author and film-maker Peter Wells, always a very thought-provoking read. Often blogs on non-book things, but I wanted to include him here. 
Pop Sensation - vintage paperback covers – lots of them! Very fun.
The Sound of Butterflies - blog of author Rachael King.
The Well Read Kitty - great blog with reviews from Well Read Kitty – reviewer for The Nile.com and another twitter friend.
So, these have been my favourites this year! I love to hear about new blogs to read – if you have favourites (or you have a blog you just want to tell people about!) let me know in the comments.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
“Just Add Books” and “Books I Done Read” are favorites of mine, too. Maree is way too much fun to be silly with on twitter, and I wish I were capable of writing reviews that were both cogent and funny the way Rachel does.
“And aren’t the awful library books great?
I agree – Maree is SO much fun!
And the writing on Books I done read is really good – funny, interesting and quite heartfelt.
We bask in their glory!
And now I’ve gone and bookmarked all those sites – thanks Nana!

I feel famous! *Lets instant fame go to her head* Please … no pictures!
Are you going to start wearing Lady Gaga-style outfits and warbling about paparazzi?…please?
Thank you for including me on your list – it’s lovely to be along side some very cool bookie bloggers!
You are very welcome, of course!
