We invite you to share with us about a great new book blog you’ve discovered since BBAW last year!
One of my favorite blogs that I've discovered in the last year is My Porch. While it is not a new blog (looking at his archive, Thomas has been blogging since 2006) it was new to me this year.
The interesting thing is that I think there really is not much overlap in book taste between us. He tends to like older British fiction (lots of Persephone Press books, etc). His favorite childhood book was probably my least favorite! I read a lot of sci fi and fantasy; I don't think he reads any of either.
Yet, despite our differences, I really enjoy reading his blog. We do have a lot in common (a shared love of the Ivory Merchant film adaptation of Room with a View, for example) and a background in design (architecture for me, urban design {I believe} for him). I love his eye - I love the posts on wonderful illustrations and book jackets. And I love reading his reviews, even when I doubt I will actually ever read the book.
I you haven't read My Porch before, I definitely recommend checking it out.
Yay for me! :) I feel the same about you, our reading tastes aren't similar but I still love reading your blog. I am not sure I have ever met someone who didn't like Harriet the Spy. Hmm, maybe I need to rethink everything.
ReplyDeleteAll I'll say is that I am now stal...err... following Thomas and his porch. Thanks for the recommendation!
