No, I don’t read every post, and yes, I hit “mark all as read” on a regular basis. Doubting others will be interested, but this is just to give me a saved snapshot of what I was reading online at the end of 2009.

Aw.
So I took a peek to see how many blogs I subscribe to (easy to forget in the “show only new entries” world of Google Reader) and discovered that I’m subscribed to 373. *blink blink* Ok, true, some of those are probably dead and I just don’t want to lose track in case of resurrection. And a bunch of those are info-only (Gizmodo, moderncat, etc). And there are a bunch of music blogs that I skim…
Damn. I’m rationalizing.
oh, you are making me feel so much better though!
Um, glad I could help?!
Well clearly you are subscribing to every blog in the world!! Holy Petunia
But here are two I check all the time — the first reviews Regencies that were published pre-2000:
1. http://hibiscus-sinensis.com/regency/retroread.htm
2. the other, rakehell.com mostly reviews new historicals (and the marvelous Cheryl Sneed, late of AAR, reviews here) … as well as new historicals, their side-bar “re-runs” old Regencies and I love reminders that for .01 on Amazon, one can pay for shipping and read a GREAT book! Cybil Solyn is the gal who runs this website.
Hee, I’m one of the special ones
You aren’t a pro until you subscribe to over 500.
@Janet W: I will add those, thank you!
@katiebabs:500?! How can I possibly be missing hundreds of romance blogs? Or is it all the Demon Sheep’s porn blogs?
Shucks! You know me so well *walks away grumbling*
You’ve been talking to Mho?
Ack. Could you take mine off the list? I still want to keep it a low profile.
Thanks.
Just thought of one for your mother’s reading list – A.S. Byatt’s Possession.
Aw! Yay! I too am a special one.
@Katiebabs – Do you subscribe to 500? Insane.
I have 140 romance feeds now (Thanks Jessica for some gems!)
+17 kinda random blogs that interest me…
for a grand total of 157 feeds.
@Maili: Done. Thanks for the rec.
What a nice idea for a post…
I subscribe to 252 and follow 204…yeah, my reader is always out of control
One of my favorite reviewers is Danielle at Alpha Reader
http://alphareader.blogspot.com/
Keira: Not 500, probably 300 or there about. I keep adding!
That’s actually pretty good considering these blogs are split over several subjects
Dude, and I thought my TBR-Blog Pile was ridiculous. Still, thanks so much for including me in there. Much appreciated!
I don’t have any to recommend, but I’m definitely using your list for recommendations. There are so many that I’ve never heard of, but from their titles, must check out. So thanks for publishing your list, and thanks for including me!
I cannot reveal how many blogs I subscribe too – far too many. I have romance blogs, other book bloggers, just for fun ones, some craft ones, and no I can’t keep up and often press the Mark as Read button too. Feel guilty every time, but what can you do!
@Mandi: Thanks for the rec!
@Carolyn Crane: Well…. I only have a few feminist and philosophy blogs here. I have another blog with more feeds on the sidebar and … another google reader, but only a handful of blogs on it, I swear.
Wow! I feel honored to be added.
