So I have to admit I don't read a lot of blogs. I mean I like reading blogs and sometimes I can get really caught up in it, but I don't have time for that very often so I have specific ones I follow and I pretty much stay away from anything else. So I don't have much to choose from but:
Whil Wheaton's Blog makes me happy! I have always loved Whil Wheaton since Star Trek days. Now he is grown up and such a nerd! It is great. He writes about his family, about what work he is doing now, about conventions he goes to, about his opinions, about the beer he makes (he does this a lot...not my favorite but whatever). I love how down to earth he is. He is what celebrities should be....just a regular guy who is on TV sometimes. He is still in awe of other celebrities. He still appreciates cool things. He still lives a normal life. I love reading his stuff! He makes me want to blog more. Plus he does cool stuff like pose for silly pictures with Captain Jack in response to his wife posing with Nathan Fillion....I mean seriously...I want to be friends with these guys!
One of my FAVORITE authors is Patrick Rothfuss. I discovered he had a blog thanks to Good Reads and now I am addicted. I swear the man can write a sentence about anything and it is great. He is just a great writer. And a great person. He runs a charity to raise money and uses his influence in the literary world to get people to join in. He has an awesome little boy he writes about that you just can't help being totally in love with even though you have never met him. He makes me want to write. He makes me want to write well. And live well. He is just all around pretty awesome. You should check out his books, and his blog!
I love photography. Everyone knows this. I have a few blogs of photographers I follow and a few pages on facebook I have liked and go back to. My favorite, by far, is my friend Brooke Kelly. Her photos are just amazing! I never get tired of seeing them. And I love that she does A LOT of baby pictures and does a first year package so you get to watch these babies (that you don't even know) grow and get bigger all year. It is so much fun! She is super talented and such a cool person too. I truly look up to her. Check her out, you won't be disappointed!
I do try to follow a few work related blogs to keep up with what is going on in the world of librarianship and/or children's literature. My favorite by far is a blog called Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast. It is, according to her, a blog about books. Awesome! In particular it is about children's books and she does interviews with various authors and illustrators. I love it!
My friend Karissa has a beautiful personal blog that I would have to choose as my fifth favorite blog. She is a wonderful writer (who is working on her first book) and she writes about her life, her faith, her struggles and her writing. Her words are always inspiring to me!
