As a voracious reader and book blogger, I’m always looking for my next page turner. Sure, I can look to the “new releases” section of my local bookstore for a good book, but who’s to say those books are the best? And sometimes those authors and publishers just can’t keep up with my book consumption. So a few years ago I turned to the World Wide Web to see what I might be able to find. And what I found was a bookworm’s gold mine.

There are tons of awesome websites out there full of book reviews, recommendations and other literary excitement. And the stuff they’ve got is way more relevant and informative than the reviews on Amazon.com or by the guy working behind the counter at Barnes and Noble. But much like everything else on the Internet, there are so. many. book blogs. Which ones are the best? Which ones can you trust? Which ones will recommend stuff you’ll actually like?

These three blogs are my staples; I check them often and trust their advice. They’re fun, informative, different and remind me that reading is enjoyable (when I’m not reading a textbook that is….).

You want to laugh a little, be horrified a little, catch up on the latest gossip a little…basically, you want to spend a few glorious minutes simultaneously doing nothing and everything before Poly Sci 105 starts up and sucks out your soul for the second time this week.

Here are some sites that have helped us become amazing.

…They should do the same for you.

1. TMZ.COM In all of their smack talking glory, we f*cking love them. And their snarky ways.

2. DListed.com Any site that has “crackheads” as a category is pretty awesome.

3. Fark.com I couldn’t resist when I saw this headline, “Pregnant woman arrested after drinking eight beers, which to her credit is four less than it took to get her pregnant“

4. Recapist.com I don’t have the time to sit in front of a TV all day, but they do, and Thank God cause I need to know what’s happening on The Bachelor.

5. Pajiba.com Reviews and such from witty writers.

6. Bookslut.com This site makes me want to start my own site called linkslut…or…foodslut…or maybe Candyslut? Slut sounds good with a lot of words, books included. Read More »
