Today, we've been asked to share a "treasure" of a book blog:
First Treasure
We invite you to share with us about a great new book blog you’ve discovered since BBAW last year! If you are new to BBAW or book blogging, share with us the very first book blog you discovered. Tell us why this blog rocks your socks off and why you keep going back for more.
This is a tough one because there are so many amazing book blogs out there. I subscribe to over 350 blogs alone that focus on books -- crazy, right? But if I'm forced to pick (which I kind of am...), one blog that I've really come to appreciate over the past year is write meg!
It's not that I wasn't familiar with write meg! over the past few years, but I don't think I read her as regularly as I do now. Not only is Meg very smart and funny, but she is a fantastic writer -- I mean really, really good! I love both her posts about everyday life as well as her insightful reviews about books; and I pretty much think that everything she writes is very entertaining. Write meg! is just one of those blogs that I look forward to reading each and every time she writes a new post!
I also have to mention the "new and improved" Aaron's Books Blog which I absolutely adore. Since I consider the entire staff to be good friends of mine, I love reading about their book recommendations. Besides book reviews, they also have regular posts about what everyone at the store is reading; and they feature new releases each week as well as host the Lititz Kidlit Challenge. It's a great indie bookseller with a great blog!
What are some of your favorite book blogs?

I'm a fan of Meg's blog too - she is one talented lady!
I really enjoy Meg's blog as well!
Oh goodness -- thank you, Julie, for your kind words! What a wonderful way to start my morning. Happy BBAW to you! :)
Heard about Meg but I will be sure to go check her out.
hmmm....good question.
there are several new to me blogs from the past year that I enjoy. I would have to go with Trisha from eclectric/eccentric and Ju-Ju from Tales of Whimsy. These two gals are funny, sometimes thought provoking, and I alway enjoy reading their posts. Plus they leave good comments.
I love Meg's blog!!
Happy BBAW! Thank you for the wonderful giveaway. :)

I agree, Meg has a great blog! She's so cute & witty!
What great suggestions, both new to me. Aaron's Books should hold another Kidlit Challenge. I'd love to participate.
I'm definitely a fan of Meg's blog, as well.
Happy BBAW! Thanks for the recommendations :)
Alright I've heard enough about this Meg, now I need to follow her. I have read some of her posts and you are right, she is awesome.
I am getting ready to check out Meg's blog. This is my first BBAW. I am loving all these new blogs!
I think write meg! is a fantastic blog! I started reading her blog a few months ago when I began blogging again after being away for several months. I'm not sure why or how I started reading her blog but I am so glad I did! She is smart & funny and I love her taste in books.
Awesome choice Julie!
