Thing #1

Well, I couldn't get this thing to let me edit my post for Thing #1 so I'm starting over. I think blogs are great. I was introduced to the Mad Chatter blog about YA Lit in my Reference Class, and found Dr. Ruth Cox Clark's comments about a huge variety of YA novels invaluable when I was selecting books for books talks with teens. I also like Teri Lesene's blog about children's lit. I wish Peggy Sharp would start one, but I think she's figured out a way to make money off her recommendations so why give it away for free on a blog? I think knowing the best blogs about topics you are very interested in would be a quick way to stay current with the best information.
