Fantastic Blogs & Monsters GVDs, continued.

Every time I go searching around for information about books, I discover bloggers who are bright, interesting, and fun. I get sidetracked and inspired and am utterly impressed that so many book-lovers devote their time and talent to blogging.

Here are a few sites you might want to check out. These are all sites that constantly update their content.

Wastepaper Prose: As a reader, I enjoy Susan Robertson's blog, and as a writer, I really appreciate her "Author Insights" feature, where authors answer her questions about writing, careers, and work. This series is not only fun to read, but makes me think about my own writing projects. Susan also has contests (like this one for Cinder by Melissa Meyer) and she's an all around great supporter of books and authors.

Down the Rabbit Hole: Amber is an aspiring author and a fan of paranormal and young adult. She has lots of lively graphics, author interviews, contests, and fun features like this "The Time Will Come" meme, where she challenges readers to tackle a book that's been on their shelves for too long. Amber sides with unicorns, not zombies, and if you need something to lift your mood, check out her "Happily Ever Ending" recommendations.

A Cupcake and a Latte: Okay, just the title makes me smile. Wendy aka Mocha says she has "a passion for reading Young Adult novels, whether it be a delicious paranormal romance or a suspenseful dystopian." Oh, and also pink-frosted cupcakes and strong lattes. Wendy has mad organizational skilz, so the site is easy to navigate. She also has an awe-inspiring list of reviews. Her writing style is breezy, conversational, and a joy to read.

GRATUITOUS VIDEOS OF THE DAY

It's still monsters and beauty. Yes, Gerard Butler once did "The Monster Mash" as Count Dracula! Color me amused.
