On Monday, the activity was to talk about your favourite blogs that did not make the short list. I wasn't going to participate because I find it really hard to narrow things down, but I have been meaning to bring this feature back for a while. I decided to combine the two and just post late. Some of the blogs I list were nominated for BBAW, but that's okay.
These are my top 50 blogs. I read 294 blogs all together (and counting) and I honestly cannot list all of them. So, I decided to go with fifty.

Okay, this was meant to be my top 50, but I apparently can't count, so instead this is my top 55. I was musing over the list and it is an interesting assortment. Some of those blogs I have been reading for years, while others I just discovered this year! And, you know, limiting it was very hard. I feel bad because I left off a lot of really great blogs that I have been reading forever, but I had to be a bit harsh or I would be here all day! If you want to know why, just wait for future Friday Friends. Some of those blogs have all ready been mentioned, but others you will hear about in the future!
OMG this post was EVIL Kelly! There are blogs that I haven't even heard of there :p
ReplyDeleteI shall be clicking through all of these when I get home and over the weekend. Woohoo more time wasters!! ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you!!! :)
Ooh, I made your list :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the shout out. I read a lot of your Top 55 blogs and too but I see I've got a lot of discovering to do still :)
Oh, wow, this is a dangerous list!! I'm going to have to save this post in my reader for when I have time to go hopping around to those that are new to me. Thanks for adding me to your favorites list, Kelly. You're one of my favorites, too, of course. :)
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about how much your blog has changed since your college days. Mine still looks the same (and the blogroll is totally outdated)!! I need to do something about that . . . maybe get you and Chris to come help me. Dum, dum de dum.
Wow, I made your list? Thank you. You've got me listed in such wonderful company! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lot! I already follow many of them, but there are tons on there that I'm not familiar with.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for including me on your list - I'm very honored and grateful for the mention!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out!
ReplyDeletethanks for this! egads, I thought I knew and read a lot of book blogs but most all of these are NEW to me! Big world, this book blogging world. Ya' gotta love it!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly! I see two familiar-to-me blogs in your list: Wendy and Rhinoa. Woot! :D
ReplyDeleteAwwww, I'm totally on your list! :) How sweet! I'm going to have to go through the others that you've listed here that I don't know this weekend. (Just what I need, more blogs to subscribe to that I don't have time to read, lol!)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Kelly! You're in my top 50 too :D (Well...top 5, really :P)
ReplyDeleteAw! You're on my top 50 too! I've got my Google Reader set up so that I'll read the best ones first.
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks for including me in the list! I'm familiar with a bunch of these and am honored to be in such good company. Now I'm off to explore those I haven't heard of!
ReplyDeleteKelly, you are obviously at the top of my blog reading list as well. So honored to have been included :-) And must go check out some of these other links...
ReplyDeleteI am about to respond to your e-mail, too!
Nice list! Most of them are already in my reader (thank god!) but I'm off to check out the handful that aren't. Thanks for including me!
ReplyDeleteOoh thanks for including me in the list! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for including me on such a great list! It's nice to be listed with such great blogs.
ReplyDeleteYou're a daily stop for me!
cjh
Love your list and I'm coming back to check out a lot of these!!!
ReplyDeleteThat must have taken you a long time to compile, Kelly, getting in all those links! I'm so glad that you consider me among your favorites. You are definitely among mine as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you for including me - and for letting me know via Twitter. :-) You have one of my favourite blogs too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for including me! I'm familiar with quite a few of the ones here but not all of them. I guess that means more blogs to discover. :)
ReplyDeleteAnother list of blogs to explore. Crud! I'm not sure my google reader can take anymore.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for mentioning me!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'll also be sure to check out the ones you've mentioned that I'm not familiar with.
I'm so lame! I've been swamped at work and busy at home and am just now finally getting through my very backlogged Google Reader.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pleasant surprise to see my blog listed here.
Thank you so much!!
I just found this--thanks so much for including me! And in such good company, too.
