Favorite Blogs – Week Two

August 5, 2009 by Mandi 15 Comments

Week two of my favorite blogs. Check HERE for my first week.
Fantasy Dreamer’s Ramblings
First, the layout of her site is amazing- very sophisticated – I love her menus and the entire layout of her site. Donna writes great urban fantasy and paranormal romance reviews and also does weekly contest and other news round-ups. She is also on Twitter, and gives lovely tweets all day. Coincidentally, I just found out today is her birthday and she is celebrating in style, go check it out!
Lovin’ Me Some Romance
I first came across Vamp Fan Girl (you can call her VFG;) when she had a big JR Ward week and reviewed the Black Dagger Brotherhood series leading up to the release of Lover Avenged. I have been going back every day since! She write amazing summaries – I often find phrases that she writes that stick with me. She will bring up points that I will miss during my reading which always gets me thinking. She loves to read and share books that brings out one’s “inner hussy.”*g* She is a lot of fun and she is another one that has a very fun comment section.
Closetwriter
Lea is the sweetest person and has a beautiful blog! She is the kind of person where you know if you meet her in real life, you know she would be the friendliest person. Besides having a wonderful blog – reviewing romance books, she supports everyone else so much! Always pimping out everyone’s contests and other events. Right now you have a chance to enter her Devyn Quinn giveaway!
Alpha Heroes
I think this is the first romance blog I ever discovered. Right after I started the JR Ward BDB series, I went searching for someone, anyone who was talking about it. I stumbled across alpha heroes and thought – cool name for a site! I then started going through many of Nicola’s posts. She writes very smart, honest reviews. She also throws in an opinion piece once in awhile that are always very entertaining to read. Plus, she is a JR Ward fan – can’t go wrong!

    Awesome list again! Donna does have a beautiful blog (Happy birthday!)

    And Lea is one of my favorite people! You're right, she is one of the friendliest people. Someday I hope to meet her, since we really aren't that far apart. It just so happens to be that we live in different countries! And now that stupid law of needing a passport or enhanced driver's license is needed to cross the border:(.

    Lovin Me Some Romance and Fantasy Dreamer's blogs are two of my favorite haunts as well.

    Thanks for the heads-up about "Alpha Heroes"…

    Mandi! Girl, you're the coolest. ;)

    I am all about pleasing my inner hussy – most of the time anyway. *wink*

    Thank you for all your wonderfully kind words about my blog. So happy too that I was introduced to Fantasy Dreamer's Ramblings and Alpha Heros.

    These are absolutely the coolest posts. I'm finding all kinds of fabulous blogs that I never even knew existed! For shame!!

    I'm off to investigate.

    Thank you Mandi! *blushes* Your awesome and your blog is one of the first that I check in my reader.

    I've been visiting Lea's blog for awhile and I agree with you she is one of the sweetest bloggers around. I'd also love to meet her one day!

    Alpha Heroes is new to me, I need to head over and check it out. Thanks for the heads up!

    I've been to Lovin' Me Some Romance a few times, I need to hang out over there some more. I've been lurking. Shame on me, I'm still a bit shy at times.

    Aww, thanks Mandi! it's always kind of fun when different parts of on-line life overlap, true? (heh).

    If you look at my tag list, I think there's something like 24 posts tagged for JRW… nah, no obsession here, nope, nothing to see, move along… heh.

    You've put together an indispensable blog in a short amount of time — nicely done, lady.
