Voting is now open at the Book Blogger Appreciation Week Awards.

Beth Fish Reads Beth Fish is “a book lover and freelance book professional blogging incognito.” Her blog dates back to August 2008. Here’s a list of her reviews so far. BF has posted links at the Saturday Review, and I’ve enjoyed her reviews.

Books and Bards Nicole says of her blog, “This is a watering hole where readers and writers can share their love of stories, words, and the music of language. I feature reviews, bookish news, writer resources, author interviews, and literary discussions.” Nicole began her blog in June of this year with this post that I wish I’d written —except I’m not writing novel and verbal acrobatics are something I only aspire to do.

Galleysmith is the blog home of Michelle who started out blogging by going on the road: she sponsors The Literary Road Trip Project, a project I’ve joined but have yet to contribute towards. (I do have a Texas Project in mind that I think will mesh well with the Literary Road Trip.) Michelle’s blog began in May 2009 with a review of Nora Roberts’ Vision in White.

Scifiguy.ca I already took a look at SciFiGuy out of Canada and gave my vote to his blog for Best Speculative Fiction Blog. As I said SciFiGuy, aka Doug, runs a good blog

Steph Su Reads
Steph Su Read mostly YA, and she has a good handle on the genre, see this pst on Race and Ethnicity in YA. Steph also has a regular feature called Waiting on Wednesday in which she tells us all about the books she’s waiting for the publishers to release so that she can read them. Don’t we all have some of those?

All five of these New Blogs are great, and I wish them all the best with their continued blogging endeavors. However, my vote goes to GalleysmithGalleysmith, a blog that I’m also going to add to my feedreader, as soon as I figure out to do that on my new computer. (I used to have a thingie I could click on that said “Add to Bloglines”, but I don’t remember where I got it.)
