Example of a Good Book Blog

By Jen Leo | Permalink | 6 comments | March 16th, 2006 | Trackback

I don’t like my book websites. It’s just kinda what we got. Not a lot went into them, and I REALLY need to spend time updating them, or consolidating them, or something.

But I’ve met several of you who ask me about good author websites, and I wanted to point this one out. I just kinda ran into it, but I think it’s a great model. Easy to read. Aesthetically simple and engaging. And even if you know nothing about the book, like I did when I saw it, you want to check out the reviews, and see what she’s talking about. Most of all, this book blog does what any good blog should do… inspire us to read more.

This was done on TypePad. They are great fro bloggers that are new to the scene. Tremendously easy to set up, and affordable. They’re far better than the free blogger set ups.

I bought the book yesterday at Skylight Books in Los Angeles (Los Feliz).

Can’t wait to dig in this weekend!

Support your indie stores, people!

Thanks so much for the high praise, Jen Leo! And thanks to you too, dirtysugarcookies — I think very highly of you as well! And very many thanks, kindly book buyer!

Damn, how am I going to keep being a bitter cynic when people like you keep treating me so well?

That’s hilarious! My first thought when I saw the title of this entry was “oh, good book blog? Girlbomb has a good blog!” Funny. I guess we agree!

Girlbomb! Hey, thanks for checking in. I’m digging the book.

Sarah, hi. Yeah, it is a good blog. But I hadn’t been reading it or found it that way. When I first saw it, I thought it was her book’s website, but I get it now. Still, my audience here is mostly writers, and we’ve got stuff to take care of like making websites for our books. :-) I really like hers, so, yeah, we agree. Just wanted to explain the book slant. I’ll be following the blog now that I know it’s there.

Hey readers, send other great book blogs our way so we can see what other hip webbies are doing!
