One friend asked me this very question a couple of days ago, and I have to say I didn’t know how to answer. Sure I had blogs I read every week, had I not? Good observation. But, as a matter of fact, the ones that came to my mind were not necessarily my favourite, only the ones I followed every week for a series of reasons (being informed, sharing opinions with fellow bloggers / writers / scientists, relaxing, and so on) other than a real statement of preference.
Purely philosophical or not, her question gave me nonetheless the opportunity to think about the blogs I peruse the most, and I thought I can share them with you – if anything, I might give you some ideas 🙂
For easy browsing, I have divided them by category – but NOT in any particular order (alphabetic or other):
Book Reviews
Books and travelling with Lynn
Sciences & (especially but not exclusively) Astrophysics
Il tredicesimo cavaliere [In Italian]
Contrary Brin (The blog of the amazing SF writer/scientist David Brin)
(The art of) Writing, Literary Magazines & Writers (hint: SFF & H, my kind)
MorgEn Bailey – Creative Writing Guru
La audacia de aquiles [bilingual, English and Spanish]
Whatever (Blog of John Scalzi)
[Note: I have ONLY included here blogs, not websites, otherwise it would’ve been virtually impossible to keep it to a manageable list. These generally appear, with few exceptions, on my WP list. Also, I have kept only the ones that have shown significant activity in 2017, not in previous years – otherwise, this list would have probably doubled in lenght].
If you already know them and you have something in kind that would make a good addition to my personal list, please do send it my way, and thanks!
Yay, I’m honored The BiblioSanctum is included on your list (and looks like I’m in some great company)! Thanks for the shoutout!
We share some favourite authors, I have seen. 🙂
Thanks for including my blog-…. Coming from you, it means a lot… I love your stuff as well, what can I say?: I am very happy 😀 Wishing you a great rest of your week! 🙂
Your pieces on Greek mythology are simply great 🙂
Thank you very much for including me on this great list, Steph:).
Impossible not to mention it, Sarah – you do such a great job with your reviews!
Thank you, Steph – coming from you that means a great deal:).
Likewise. Thanks so much, Sarah 🙂
I love that my blog made your list, Steph. It makes me a little embarrassed though that I haven’t been writing as consistently every Saturday as I have in the past. I hope that after life settles down — or I finally get used to my new schedule with the new job — I know I’ll return to my regular schedule. I really enjoy you blog, too! Cinda
Yes, please do it – I enjoy it a lot!
