Six Non-LJ Blogs I Like To Read:

1) I know I've linked to these guys before, but I ♥ The Book Smugglers. Ana and Thea recently ran a week dedicated to dark fairy tales, including reviews of Melissa Marr's two novels and a great interview with Melissa.

2) I always read The 5 Randoms - a great blog run by five YA authors (including LJ regulars angie_frazier and amanda_marrone ).

3) I adore Wil Wheaton's blog, WWdN: In Exile. Not that he needs me to link to him - he has a ton of readers already - but if I was stranded on a desert island and could only take one blog with me, Wil's would be under serious consideration. He makes it cool to be a geek. 'Nuff said. ;)

4) The five authors who run Magical Musings have some interesting things to say about the craft of writing. They also post regular guest blogs/interviews and reviews.

5) Author Jennifer Estep's blog is always entertaining; I especially enjoy her regular and thoughtful book reviews.

6) Finally, here's a new blog that's just begun. Unusually, it's dedicated to Young Adult Science Fiction, and I'm looking forward to seeing how this develops.
