All right, I need new book blogs to read – my favorites have either dried up and blown away, or sallied forth with sincere heart into the wasteland of young adult vampire soulmate shenanigans. And it is true of book reviews what a friend of mine says of porn – you do not get that shit on the street. So, what are your favorites? My stringently enforced criteria are:

• A blog by someone or someones who read books with words in
• A taste for speculative fiction is a plus, but not a requisite
• Passionate opinions required; my agreement with them is not
• Reviews that are not book reports – if I have to scroll through three paragraphs of plot synopsis, we’re through already
• A minimum of cats, knitting, children, cooking, alpaca-farming and other bullshit that is not about books (this is what I have twitter for)
• Blogs that are not Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist, because I loathe that one.
• Oh, and since we're on the subject, reviewers who enjoy thinking critically about texts and who have said the words "social" and "justice" in the same sentence at least once in their lives.

Go.
