How to use this Page
You are viewing the most recent posts tagged with the words: blogroll updates in the JacketFlap blog reader. What is a tag? Think of a tag as a keyword or category label. Tags can both help you find posts on JacketFlap.com as well as provide an easy way for you to "remember" and classify posts for later recall. Try adding a tag yourself by clicking "Add a tag" below a post's header. Scroll down through the list of Recent Posts in the left column and click on a post title that sounds interesting. You can view all posts from a specific blog by clicking the Blog name in the right column, or you can click a 'More Posts from this Blog' link in any individual post.
I'm taking one more day off the blog--a day to catch up, to answer e-mails (Anne, Cyn, interview coming soon!), organize all areas of my life. This is a good week for catch up, though: The Summer Blog Blast Tour is taking the kidlitosphere by storm. Catch the details at Chasing Ray and I'll see you all for Poetry Friday.
In the meantime, I have some blogroll administration to take care of. Is your children's literature or book blog missing from my list? Please do let me know in the comments! (Other bloggers use these lists too, so don't be shy. I've been very distracted the past few weeks, so I know I've missed a number of great new blogs.)
It's time for me to update my blogrolls. If you know a good blog I'm missing, let me know in the comments. (And, yes, please tell me about your own children's literature blog. There are so many new ones lately, I've lost track.)
Being away for a couple of months sure slows down the blog reading and maintenance. I've spent the evening reading through new blogs and here are the ones I'm adding to my blogrolls:
- On a budget? Books now have a comparison shopping site: BooksPrice.
- Here's a new Picture Book blog: Bottom Shelf Books. Minh reviews books, interviews authors and illustrators, and, in general, talks picture books. This week, Minh interviews the crew of Punk Farm
- Adele Griffin and Heather Brewer have started a co-character blog. Say, what? Well, Griffin's Lexie Livingstone (star of Vampire Island) is conversing via blog with Vladimir Tod (of The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod: Eighth Grade Bites).
- Cheryl Rainfield maintains two booklists (with reviews)--one of picture books, one of teen books.
- The Book Mine Set. This is an interesting blog, featuring reader diaries and Wednesday Compares (poor Seuss lost 21-4 to Robert Frost!)
I've also been adding writer blogs left, right, and center.
If I've missed a great blog this summer, please let me know!
ETA: Two more:
It's been awhile since I've done a new blog roundup and, in the meantime, I've found a few other resources as well. So, here are the new resources:
Okay, on to the blogs I'm adding to the ol' blogrolls:
- Lessons from the Tortoise. Libby writes smart posts about reading, writing, YA and children's lit, cooking, parenting, feminism. Can't beat that!
- Editorial Anonymous: The Blog of a Children's Book Editor. Why? Well, I've been remiss in adding this earlier, even though I've been reading this blog for awhile. Smart, smart stuff.
- Kid*Lit(erary). Laurel Snyder is a writer, who talks about writing and her favorite books on her blog.
- Writers' blogs: Colleen Ryckert Cook and Susan Beth Pfeffer (Thanks, Becky!)
It's time for another update of the old blogrolls. Much has been happening this month, and here's what I've run across:
I have 4 more blogs I need to add. They are:
- Mitali Perkins' Sparrow Speaking! Listen Up! This new blog is Mitali's character's blog. And it's on the upcoming presidential elections and related madness. Excellent! (I live in one of those two-oh-so-important primary states, and you'd think the election is on now.)
- Emily has launched Deliciously Clean Reads. While I have nothing again non-clean reads, I understand that many parents do. This useful new site is an excellent resource for people looking for books with no swearing and sexual content.
- In the Other Reads department, I'm adding Adventures in Daily Living--on "children, books, techie oddments, pets, paraplegia, adoption, gardening and whatever else strikes my fancy"
- Haunts of a Children's Writer. Jim D. is an active member of Illinois SCBWI and a writer. He's also writing over at the Children's Book Wiki.
Good reading, folks!
It's April and time for a new blog roundup. Here's who I'm adding to the blogrolls this month:
In the "umm..I thought this one was linked already category" this month is interactivereader. Ummm...seriously. I thought I'd liked up Jackie ages ago. Color me terribly embarrassed.
Off to do the work...
It's that time again! Time for another tinkering of the blogrolls. A lot has been happening in the last few weeks, so this will be quite the post.
- I've been meaning to do a "for kid/teen readers" heading for awhile now. Readergirlz needs a spot, so I'll be working on that. If you know of any superb sites for child and teen readers, please do let me know.
- Somehow Brotherhood 2.0 never made it onto the blogroll, though I've been following it from the beginning.
- Here's a great livejournal site: lectitans. It always takes me longer to find the livejournal sites. Anyone else suffer from this problem?
- Readathon is a new participant in the kidlitopshere, now running a Girls You Should Know series.
- In the Pages is another general book blog I'm watching. Becky writes about children's and adult fiction.
- book, book, book: "Rants, ruminations, and recommendations, on kidlit, teen lit, libraries, and divers topics tangentially related to any of the above."
- Charlotte's Library. Charlotte is an "archaeologist by day, and the president of the Friends of small New England library by night."
- Zee Says is a new librarian blog. Zee is a film addict and a teen librarian and writes about books, movies, teen issues, and teen tech.
MotherReader has inspired me to do another update of the ol' blogrolls. Luckily, plenty of new to me blogs have crossed my path this week. They are:
- 4 Obsessions: Reading, Writing, Cooking and Knitting. Okay, I only share two of those obsessions, but this is one smart blog.
- Andrew Karre's Flux Blog. "The Collected Musings of the Flux Crew on Flux Books, YA Lit in General, and Sausage-Making in Particular." Don't you know sausage is bad for you, Andrew? The rest of it is all good.
- SPOGG: the Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar. The title pretty much says it all. Thanks, Eisha!
- Teaching, Technology, The Library, and other stuff. A new blog focusing on, well, teaching, technology, the library, and other stuff!
- Related: What the Tech! (Great title.) A blog for the teachers and staff of Portage Township Schools, Portage, IN, but lots of good stuff for teachers who blog or use blogs as resources.
Three more blogs have crossed my path this week. Liz B.'s Blog a Day plan is making a lot of sense at this point. It's becoming difficult to keep up.
Here's what's new on the blogroll:
- The ultra-smart HipWriterMama. I actually thought she was already on the ol' blogroll, but somehow wasn't. Check out her blog sometime!
- Homeschool Kid Lit. A new blog on the block about "children’s literature from an unschooler’s perspective."
- The CCB Review. Three bloggers focus on a popular niche market, Christian children's books.
Blogs, blogs, and more blogs! Here's what I'm adding to the blogroll this weekend:
It's already time for me to update the blogrolls again. Now if I could just get to that template...
Here are late January's new additions:
- Writer Grace Lin, who also posts at The Blue Rose Girls, has her own blog--Pacyforest.
- Sonja Cole blogs about books in video format at Bookwink.
- Bruce Black blogs at Wordswimmer, a blog I've read for awhile, but is somehow mysteriously missing from my rolls. He has a great interview with Jane Yolen up today. (Hey, Poetry Friday folk: I just noticed that Jane Yolen is participating.
You know, I'm taking this week and next to get all in gear and organized for the summer to start. No daytime writing.
OK - back to drawing a map.

I've been extremely lazy in seeking out new blog voices. I'm going to cheat off your list when you're done.
Thanks for asking for this information!
My blog is http://www.readimaginetalk.com
MR: please do! Some blogs simply link to these lists as their blogrolls :) I'm totally okay with that.
Thank you, everyone. 2 Jennys--I really need to find yours!!
