Do you like words? Books? Esoteric discussions about words and books? The Happy Bibliophile<\/a> takes a writer a week and uses that person to explore the world of writing and words. I love the idea. And happily, I love most of the writers! Another great book blog is Some Can Whistle<\/a>. I particularly like that the books listed aren’t always new ones. That The Shipping New<\/a>s <\/em>makes a summer reading list makes me happy. That the author, Sawyer Franck, is rereading it makes me even happier. I hate to think how many great books are lost to time.<\/p>\n

For some honest commentary on raising kids in general and teens in particular, read Parenting by Trail and Error<\/a>. Along with entertaining words, it’s a pleasure to look at, too. This blog also turned me on to a great blog for health writers, called (wait for it) Health Writer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Oh, Tai! What would I do without your blog about social media, Practical Profitable Social Media<\/a>? I know nothing. You are teaching me. If you want tips on improving traffic, how to use social media for more than tracking down your 8th grade crush and posting pictures for your mother-in-law, read this blog. Another great resource for me has been Yael Writes<\/a>. She may blog about SEO or fitness or post links to interesting stories out on the interwebs. Whatever it is, Yael makes it entertaining.<\/p>\n

I think if I added them all up, I’ve found about 15 blogs that I’ll subscribe to or visit regularly from the blogathon. That’s probably about a tenth of the particpants who wrote daily during the month. Thanks again to Michelle Rafter<\/a> for organizing it. I’m sure I’ll be a better writer because of it.<\/p>\n
