-Title: The Bookavid-Address: http://thebookavid.blogspot.de
-About (Topic, style of content, release schedule, what genres do cover, is it even a book blog, pretty much sell yourself here)
I cover pretty much everything from YA horror to Adult Romance. I have a very broad taste in books, but I try to keep it about 60% YA, because I know that's what my readers like. I do a lot of original posts like Book Blogging Tips or Tutorials and I can't wait to expand my range of unique content.
-Do you do any unique series? Something other than reviews?
Currently: Book Blogging Tips
I just love doing this series because it gives me the opportunity to share everything that I've learned with others. My goal is to create helpful posts that I would have needed as a newbie blogger
Upcoming: Various Tutorials on Blogging, YA Talk (discussion feature about YA issues)

Title: My Addiction: BooksAddress: http://myaddictionbooks.blogspot.com/
About: My Addiction: Books is run by two teenage girls (me & Haley) who enjoy reading just about anything YA. We also sometimes read and review New Adult and MG.
Besides book reviews, we also do reviews on book to movie adaptations and we have Bookish Discussions every few weeks (a different bookish topic each time).

TITLE: Busybubblebee
ADRESS: http://www.busybubblebee.com
ABOUT: I'll try to creat something unique. Firstly, illustrating my rewievs, with my own drawings paintings etc. Secondly, I do not want a simple rewiev blog, I want something new. I think every one of you have these thoughts "If I were the evil/main/goodetc. character, I would handle that situation another way" . So I think I'll write really short rewiev, and after that I play this "game" with the important situations. Of course I have another goal, I'd like to show to the big world some books from hungarian authors. These are my plans. :)

I also did some Battle of the Covers, where I compare covers of various editions of the same book and let viewers vote as well.

Title: Clockwork Origin ProductionsWesbite: www.clockworkorigin.com
About: Mainly books. We read Young Adult and New Adult books from mainly fantasy, paranormal, thriller, dystopian, horror, and sci-fi. We do our best to support indie authors, allowing them the opportunity to get reviews of their books and set up interview. Our reviews are posted once we finish our books, normally around 1-3 days after starting it.
We started a new event called "Book of the Month," where, at the beginning of the month, we post a quick post of the previous month's top book in our perspective. These books are read by us and must have had a review posted within that month to be considered.
On Mondays, we post a little tid bit called "Sympathy's bookshelf" which shows the books we're planning on reading that week, along with any books we've received to read in the future.
We offer to promote things like giveaways, advertisements for new, upcoming, or already released books along with promos.
In the near future, we hope to start offering services to indie authors to help them format their books so they look professional for publication.
Do you do any unique series? When it comes to series with a new book out, we plan on doing something we call a "Series Binge" or just plain "Book Binge" (depends on who you ask, really).

Carlene Inspired (this is a working title for now)http://carleneinspired.blogspot.com
About: I recently started Carlene Inspired as a book blog, but will soon be branching out to one weekly recipe as I have a fascination with cook books. I read New Adult, YA, Dystopian, Chicklit, and romance.
Unique Series: I would like to do a weekly cooking post, where I list the recipe, how it went for me, pictures, etc. I purchase a lot of cook books and need a good use for them. Additionally, I recently joined a reading fitness group and will probably post about it. Every Saturday I post an inspirational quote from a novel or an author.

Hey guys! I'm relatively new to the blogging world but I'm absolutely loving it! My blog's title is Crazy Book Obsessions! The address to this is http://crazybookobsessions.blogspot.comI post a lot of book reviews within my blog and try to keep it updated at least 3 times a week. I am finding that the more I read different genres and novels, the more I'm falling in love with writing about each experience I have within those worlds. I love the fact that what I could say about a book, could inspire someone else to pick up that book...or any book for that matter. Reading is so important and even though I am but one person, sometimes that's all it takes :)
As far as unique series goes, I am currently working on a series where I will venture into my childhood and pick out the best books I read from middle/high school and bring them out to light. Hey, sometimes you just have to regress a bit :)
Contact information is a bit limited but, you can find me on my tumblr account which is:
http://thatreadergirl04.tumblr.com/
I also post a lot of my reviews on tumblr and participate in bookstagram so..come check it out! :)
Thanks!

-Contact information: email: [email protected]
-Interested in Guest Blogging? I'm not confident enough yet to blog for anyone else but I'd be happy for someone to do something for my blog - it would have to be something that suited the theme of the site i.e. about strange or odd literature, music, film or art.
I would love any feedback! I'm not really a writer so I'm still not sure how much I should write in a post... whether I should keep it short or just ramble as though I'm chatting to someone.

Hi Jamie, your blog looks pretty neat! I would suggest having some kind of menu or 'past post' option, but that's about all I can suggest :)
Title - The Edifying Wordwww.theedifyingword.wordpress.com
The idea behind my blog is learning through reading. It's pretty new, but I generally post anything related to reading and my interests - book lists, thoughts that strike me when I'm reading, book review, etc. I cover all sorts of genres - non-book publications, kids books, non-fiction, fiction, religion, history, etc.
- I have a monthly "NatGeo Highlights" based on National Geographic magazine and just started a weekly "Munchkin Mondays" post on kids' books.

http://allthebookblognamesaretaken.bl...
and
https://www.facebook.com/AllTheBookBl...
About - I blog at two places as mentioned above, both Blogger and a community I recently created on Facebook. I found that I get a lot of views on Blogger, but few comments so I was hoping to combat that by creating the Facebook page which would make commenting easier. I primarily read and review non-fiction, especially history and biographies. I love medieval Europe and Anglo-Saxon England, so many of the books I read are in those veins. I try to review within a day or so of finishing the book, but I have a very active toddler, so sometimes I may post a couple reviews at a time on the weekends.
Other - I have my own writing projects that I am working on as well, and do occasionally post updates about them when I have the chance to work on them. I am working on a couple different picture books at the moment.

Hello fellow bloggers!Title: JBelkBooks
Address: https://jbelkbooks.wordpress.com/
About: On my blog you should expect to see reviews (mostly YA), hauls (art supplies, books, etc.), and other tag related things. I also take part in Monthly Wrap-Ups and for me, I like to post Bi-Weekly Wrap-Ups as well. In the beginning of every month I post a TBR.
Contact Information:
Twitter & Instagram: @xx_jesalinn
Email: [email protected]
Other: Besides book related things, I also post about my art, Mother Nature (photographs taken by me), and subscription boxes. I think that is something that sets me apart from other blogs. :) Feedback would really be nice because I've only been blogging on this site for about 5 months. I've been earning great interactions from the blogging community, so that is a positive. I also started my own post called Feature with Followers, which is basically a weekly meme where I will be showcasing one of my AMAZING followers. This gives me an opportunity to really get to know them and give them an opportunity to get their blogs out there in the community. Anyone is able to start posting this idea if they would like!
Thanks & if anyone would like to chat or anything of that sort, please let me know!

Guest Blogging - Not to sure since I'm new. I'd probably be more likely to accept a guest blog from an author rather than just a co-blogger. However, in the future I may also be willing to accept guest blogs featuring reviews from a co-blogger as well not quite sure since I'm just starting!

-Title: Good Girls, Dirty Books-Address: www.goodgirlsdirtybooks.blogspot.com
-About: I’ve only been blogging for about 2 months, and my girlfriends Ashlee and Amber should be joining in soon. We’ll review lots of adult romance. Among the three of us, we should cover just about every sub-genre of romance. I also get into some YA/NA and urban fantasy. I don’t have a set schedule to post…life is a little to chaotic. But I will try to do the occasional Top 5 Wednesday.
Something kind of unique to my reviews is that I don’t use star ratings. I feel like they would be a little too arbitrary. Instead a rate things like the writing, characters, plot and if a book is worthy of a recommendation.
-Do you do any unique series? Something other than reviews?: This weekend I’ll post my first “Rec Your Weekend”, where I’ll post my weekend reading recommendations based around a specific theme. I also want to post some tags. We love going to author events and hope to chronicle our book related shenanigans. We’ve already participated in one release day blitz and are excited about some upcoming cover reveals and more blog tours.

As I said, I’m a newbie. So I would love constructive criticism and feedback.

Hi my website and blog are: http://belleami.us/blog/I write romance/suspense/sexy novels. My latest blog is below. Please feel welcome to sign up if you like it.
Author Belle Ami Wants Characters To Live
Stacy Hoff's Nights of Passion Blog
Hello, Passionate Readers! Today I’m having author Belle Ami talk about a subject near and dear to my writer’s heart—the pain of having to let go of the characters we create. It’s tougher than you might think! Don’t believe me? Here’s Belle in her own words:
Let it be known, I do not like saying farewell to the characters in my novels. After all, I’ve slept with them, dreamt with them, fought with them, empathized with them, hated them, and, of course, loved them. They are like my children, oft times difficult, doing things I don’t approve of and a real pain in the ass, but when all is said and done, they are mine, and just like my children, I will defend them with my last breath. However, there does come a time when, as Kahlil Gibran wrote in The Prophet, you have to let them fly on their own. I quote, “You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth,” which can easily be applied to your characters. Even though you’ve created them and breathed life into them, there comes a time when you have to let them go. Mr. Gibran also wisely wrote: “Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.” If that’s not true of your characters, I don’t know what is.
My new book soon to be published by Soul Mate Publishing is actually the third book in my The Only One series. It is a stand-alone romance/suspense novel that is the last in this three book series. I love my characters for their optimism, their cynicism, their idiosyncrasies, and their flaws. I like to think that they are fully developed people who reflect not only what life has dealt them in the past, but people who wish to change and improve who they are in the present. That’s what brings them to life and that’s what places them with their feet firmly on the ground as living, breathing beings.
Miles Bremen is a billionaire who has fought his way to the top. Everything he has gained in this life he has earned. Perhaps that accounts for his possessive nature, his inability to trust, and his desire to keep what he considers his. His flaws are many, but he attacks life with an unbridled passion. His failed marriage to Adelia Lindstrom is a stain on his otherwise perfect world, a world in which he is usually in control. Adelia is the one woman he ever loved and he lost her. He is determined to do whatever it takes to win her back.
Adelia Lindstrom seemingly has everything, wealth, beauty, perfect twin children, and a career she loves. But, beneath the veneer of success and prosperity lies disappointment, tragedy, and unending lies. Her parents were murdered, her marriage ended in a custody battle, and she is confused by the feelings she has for the two men in her life. Her ex-husband who betrayed her in an unforgivable manner is back on the scene determined to win her back. Her best friend and lover, FBI agent David Weiss, has always been there for her, but his new career with the bureau has made him unavailable and removed. What’s a girl to do? In the beginning of the series, she was a young, trusting, vulnerable woman, but her trials and tribulations have matured and made her wise. She is no longer a girl, but a woman who knows who she is, and isn’t afraid to risk everything for what she wants. But, what does she want?
Throw in an added obstacle for good measure, she’s about to become the target of a serial killer. Can David protect her? Can Miles win her back? Can she have her cake and eat it too? Is there a happily-ever-after for these three. You bet there is, but not without pain, discovery, and overcoming obstacles. There is a Zen saying that I like to apply to my characters: Leap and the net will appear.
I digress, getting back to letting go of your characters. It turns out I’m not very good at it. In my new series that I am writing, in the second book, I’ve decided to bring back FBI Agent David Weiss. He with his firecracker partner, Cassandra Saladino, is investigating a terrorist attack on the United States. I’m very excited about bringing back one of my favorite guys.
Oh, the joy of not having to say goodbye to a character, to allow them to live and love again.
EXCERPT: One More Time is Not Enough – Release date June/July 2016
Northern California
Route One
The sports car hugged the road as David down-shifted into a hairpin curve on Route One. Adelia brushed the wind-blown wisps of hair that had escaped her braid from her eyes. She leaned her head against the headrest and absorbed the late Summer sunshine. The radio station The Highway blared over the radio, competing with the engine’s roar. At the academy, David had fallen in love with country music thanks to Preston. A song came on the radio next, and he turned up the volume.
“Listen to the words, I believe this is our song.”
She turned to look at him but his dark aviator sunglasses hid his eyes. With her curiosity piqued, she listened. A sexy baritone voice filled the air.
When you walked through the door
I knew…you were the one
My heart said hello, but my head said run
Before I knew it I’d asked you to dance
Time stands still in the arms of romance
Pulled you close, kissed your lips, felt your fingers
in my hair;
Turning slowly, falling fast, trying hard not to care;
You’re like whiskey and music
With your hands all over me
Turnin’ me on, like a sexy song
Making it hard for me to breathe
I should have seen the writing on the wall
One more time is not enough
When there’s nowhere left to fall
Adelia switched off the radio and turned away from him as she fought back her tears. “Are you trying to hurt me? I don’t remember you ever being cruel.”
“No, I’m trying, to be honest with you. We both know this magical escape is an illusion. A week from now I’ll go to Washington and you’ll go back to your kids, and Miles will convince you to remarry him. Just like the song says, One more time is not enough, when there’s nowhere left to fall. We were never meant to be.”
“You don’t know a thing, David Weiss.” Frustration simmered inside of her. “Can’t you for once just live in the moment?”
“One of us has to try and keep the moment real.”
“I still don’t understand why you had to join the FBI? You’ve made it impossible for us to be together. It’s as if you’re doing everything in your power to put obstacles in our way. All your professed love for me, was it all a lie?”
He reached over and took her hand, raising it to his lips, then kissed her knuckles. “I’d take a bullet for you, and you know it.”
“Then show me what you feel, show me you love me.”
“I’m here, aren’t I? Isn’t that enough.”
She turned away from him. “No, it’s not. Like the song says, it will never be enough.”

-About (Topic, style of content, release schedule, what genres do cover, is it even a book blog, pretty much sell yourself here)
My name is Banana, I am a brown Podenco dog born in the campo of Southern Spain. I was lucky to get adopted by Jaro and Charlie a Dutch/Canadian couple who found a way to turn their travels into a Lifestyle! They are location independent and work from their computers in the most beautiful locations worldwide. Charlie as a
motion graphic designer, illustrator and animator. Jaro as a contentwriter and translator. Anyway, enough about them because this is MY blog!
I write Stories about the beautiful places we visit and the people we meet. Also do I take Photos and Videos to give you a better idea of our life.

-About
This is a book related blog (at the moment, I may go into lifestyle later, I dunno) that has a funny and witty edge to it. I try to write exactly what I'm feeling with no holding back and lots of silly GIF's and anecdotes. I'm not currently focused on a particular genre right now but I read anything form crime, literary fiction to comics and graphic novels.
-Do you do any unique series? Something other than reviews?
Thinking of doing book playlists i.e. make make music playlists that fit an individual books style and content. Probably recommendation posts too such as comics I recommend etc. I'm seeing how it goes at the moment and what ideas come to mind :)
