So thanks to Goodreads, this morning I just discovered Insatiable Booksluts...
...and all of these awesome blogs...
and I am both thrilled and overwhelmed by how many people are already doing what The Inattentive Reader is trying to do in so many incredibly successful ways.
Anyhow, point is, you should probably give up on this little nascent project of a blog and just read their stuff.
I probably will.
And these people know what they're doing.
I do love the Insatiable Booksluts but I'm looking forward to what you have to blog! I'm an "old lady" in the blogosphere myself after 7 long years. If you have any questions or just wanna chat, come on over! :D
ReplyDeleteDude, this totally made my day. Thank you so much! I totally will...
DeleteGood!!! I love finding a new blog and yours got my attention right off the bat. Loved looking back through some of the reviews you've posted already. 1Q84 makes me nervous based on the size, but I've had decent luck with Murakami (read Norwegian Wood and After Dark). :D
DeleteEnjoy the rest of your day!
No, no, no...please do not give up on your blog! Just stumbled across you (thanks to a tweet from Andi there), and I'm so looking forward to reading what you have to say. I must say that "The Inattentive Reader" is one of my favorite blog names ever. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debi. I won't give up, don't worry. And I'm glad you like the name.
ReplyDeleteI told Jonathan Strong I often felt that if I wrote anything at all, it should just be "You should really be reading Borges" ad nauseum, and he said unto me, "You are not required to be Borges, you are simply responsible for adding your thin melody to the grand symphony."
ReplyDeleteTruth.
Thanks, Texas. Wise man.
DeleteBoth you, and also Jonathan Strong.
And probably Borges, though I've never read him.
Um.
ReplyDeleteDo not stop blogging. I love your reviews. I wish you were writing reviews for us.
Love,
Susie

(Also, thank you for the very nice words about our blog. I forgot my manners in my urgency to keep you blogging!)
Delete-S
Um.
DeleteApplication forthcoming!
Very excited. And thanks.
xo -g.
Welcome welcome welcome! (or in other words, don't stop don't stop don't stop!). ;) I'm here via a shout out from Andi and am glad to have stumbled upon your blog. Just go with it. ;)
ReplyDeleteEven though we have different taste in books (I was just reading your list at the bottom of the page and I have to confess Owen Meany, Atonement, and Wuthering Heights all got bashed by me) I was hoping we could still be friends. :-D
ReplyDelete'Cause I like your blog. Just keep doing what you're doing...the more the merrier!
