Interested in making (or reading) a better book blog? The Bookaholics’ Guide to Book Blogs, by Rebecca Gillieron & Catheryn Kilgarriff, offers a strong bibliography of great blog reading and an abundance of advice on book industry blogs. The general reader will find an ample array of publisher and reviewer sites to choose from, while genre fans will be thrilled by the wide spectrum of specialized sites, catering to everything from horror to Harry Potter. Finally, anyone who has worked in a book store (or with the public for that matter) will enjoy the chapter on Bookshop and Booksellers’ Blogs. 
Ultimate Blogs: Masterworks from the Wild Web, edited by Sarah Boxer, serves up a sampling of 27 of the Web’s most erudite offerings, with everything from political ponderings to ruminations on linguistics to a witty retelling of the Odyssey from the point of view of Odysseus’ sidekick. Skeptical about whether there’s really anything good out there in the blogosphere? This might be the book for you. If not, it’s still great bathroom reading.
