Blogs of the week

Our recent feature is "Blogs of the Week." Each week, we feature a reader blog (which has to be sent to us) and an author blog (which can either be sent to us, or we'll pick one at random). Please check out the blogs we are sharing. We're sure the bloggers would love some friendly comments on their posts or a follow.

To have your blog featured for a future shout out, please e-mail us. The blogs can be anything: personal, book themed or something else you're interested in that you write about (movies, fashion, pets, career, etc.)

Reader:

Bookworm Ink

Laura Williams' book savvy website contains THREE blogs: One for reviews, one to chat about books and share the latest news and one by her seven year-old son, who is also a huge fan of reading. Laura reviews a lot of chick lit. Her son reviews books about aliens and monsters. And based on her blog's url, they live somewhere in the UK. Laura's website is friendly and inviting, so check it out!

You can also find her on Facebook and Twitter.

Author (chosen at random this week):
