So I set my mind arollin&#8217; trying to come up with a topic that was so utterly clever, witty, charming and interesting that my readers would be so enamoured with it that I wouldn&#8217;t be missed for a couple of nights. Needless to say, I wasn&#8217;t successful in my venture. <\/p>\n<p>So I went back to the drawing board and really wracked my brains for a way to bring great content to you guys while I&#8217;m away from the computer&#8230; then it hit me. I don&#8217;t have to!<\/p>\n<p>You see, since starting <strong>A Dribble of Ink<\/strong> I&#8217;ve met a lot of other bloggers  running their own kickass blogs and filling my RSS Feeder with loads of delicious content every day. So, I&#8217;ll let them do the work for me! I knew I had to narrow it down a little (there are so many great SF\/F blogs!), and I figure you all know about <a href=\"http:\/\/fantasyhotlist.blogspot.com\">Pat&#8217;s Fantasy Hotlist<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nethspace.blogspot.com\/\">Neth Space<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogorob.blogspot.com\/\">Blog O&#8217;Rob<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fantasybookcritic.blogspot.com\/\">Fantasy Book Critic<\/a> and all the other bigger, more established blogs, so I decided to focus on the newer blogs that I find myself coming back to again and again!<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>The Blogs<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/thebookswede.blogspot.com\/\">The Book Swede<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; Chris&#8217;s blog is pretty new, but he&#8217;s always bolstered his roster with a recent interview with Brian Ruckley, an author that&#8217;s sure to make some waves when his debut novel is released this September.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"hr_review\" \/>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.graemesfantasybookreview.com\/\">Graeme&#8217;s Fantasy Book Review<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; Graeme was there when I was first starting <strong>A Dribble of Ink<\/strong> and I can&#8217;t thank him enough for all the help he&#8217;s given me since.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"hr_review\" \/>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefantasyreview.com\/\">The Fantasy Review<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; Jeremy really impresses me with the way that he approaches his blog from a totally different angle than everyone else. I love how he covers what he&#8217;s interested in and passionate about. Plus, he&#8217;s already had a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefantasyreview.com\/2007\/08\/08\/this-makes-it-all-worth-it\/\">blurb<\/a> on the cover of a prominent fantasy comic book series, how cool is that?!<\/p>\n<hr class=\"hr_review\" \/>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/theswivet.blogspot.com\/\">The Swivet<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; The Swivet is a brand new blog run by the elusive La Gringa, is sure to quickly become a high ranking member of the blogosphere. La Gringa has strong connections to the publishing industry and a long history within it as well. I can&#8217;t wait to see what she brings to the table over the next several weeks!<\/p>\n<hr class=\"hr_review\" \/>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/fantasydebut.blogspot.com\/\">Fantasy Debut<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; Tia&#8217;s blog is close to my heart for one major reason in particular: she focuses on debuts! I&#8217;m always on the lookout for new great authors entering the field and Tia&#8217;s blog is a terrific place to keep up to date!<\/p>\n<hr class=\"hr_review\" \/>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/thegravelpit.wordpress.com\/\">The Gravel Pit<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; I find myself coming back to <strong>The Gravel Pit<\/strong> time and time again for his reviews. Always well thought out and casual, I find that his reviews really hit the nail on the head a lot of the time.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"hr_review\" \/>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bookiemonster.com\/\">Bookie Monster<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; John Dent, the Bookie Monster himself, has been along with me for the ride as we both launched our own blogs. He&#8217;s taken a different approach to blogging and I really like how he seems to cover topics and authors that really make his blog unique to all the others out there. Plus <strong>Bookie Monster<\/strong> is just way too cool of a name not to include it on the list!<\/p>\n<p>So, that should keep you busy for a few days while I&#8217;m gone! Also remember that this is far from being a complete list of all the new, great blogs out there. I know for a fact that I missed some (it must be late&#8230;) but that doesn&#8217;t mean that I don&#8217;t love them! Just make sure to check all the links on the left side of the page!
