My Top Ten Bloggers of 2010

2010 was a great year for me—I started this blog, met many awesome YA lovers, writers, and publishing people, and got started on my first novel!

I see a lot of people doing “Top Ten Books of 2010” and “Top Ten Reviews of 2010” posts, and well… Fuck that.  If you want a list of the best books of 2010, find one yourself.

I’m going to list my top ten favorite bloggers. These are the people whose opinion I trust, who I go to when I need to laugh, and who deserve the Super Fierce Blogging Award of Ridiculous Fabulousness.

Here they are, my bitches, in no particular order…

HRRButton 1.  Harmony from Harmony’s Radiant Reads
Sometimes I think Harmony is the only one out there who understands me and my Ghetto Kentucky slang.





Button-YABR 2. Alex from Electrifying Reviews
Alex is fun, hilarious, and sometimes  most times a freak.










mail 3.  Julie from Bloggers Heart Books
Julie is punctual, polite, loving, and she’ll beat your ass if you don’t send her goddamn books on time! Looking at you, Borders, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon.






Image1-7 4.  Eleni from LaFemme Readers
I love Eleni to death.  Gossiping with her is my favorite pass-time.









20ab0c6 5.  Nicole from WORD For Teens
Besides being a ridiculously dedicated blogger, Nicole is one of the most sweetest, comforting people/peoples/person/persons (I don’t know which word to use?  Help, English Teachers Who Read This Blog?) I know.  I could chat with her on Facebook All. Day. Long.




j0433350-1-1-1-1 6.  Sara at Along For The Ride
Sara has a great eye for YA lit, and cusses more than I do.  It is awesome.







2ppdje9 7.  Kirthi at Pages
Kirthi was one of my first blogging friends!  I admire her because she’s such a good person and it radiates through her blogging.  She has so much respect for… well… everyone.  Kirthi always inspires me to be a better person, writer, and blogger. 





BC1 8.  James at Book Chic
James is pretty rad.  But not as rad as his blog.  It’s wonderful.







Book_Soulmates 9.  Vanessa and Isalys at Book Soulmates
Vanessa and Isalys are hilarious, insightful bloggers.  I love that they touch on all kinds of genres on their blog, not just YA. 







mail 10.  Melina at Reading Vacation
Melina’s such a routine, clean blogger.  She has inspired me to clean up that huge mess that is The Naughty Book Kitties. 







…..Damn this is hard.  I need to show one more, so that makes this my Top Eleven Bloggers!

Button-1 11.  Jami from YA Addict
Jami keeps it real.  I love it when people—especially bloggers—keep it  real.  Follow the logic?  I LOVE JAMI.

Aww you lil sneak. You are too adorable -- thank you for loving me to 'death' Maybe Dia's Slice of Cherry has influenced you lol. Seriously though, thank you my darling, you are on my cool blogger mental checklist too! <3333

Noe and Suz said...

You are so funny. (As I get ready to type my best of 2010 lists...) I agree though, nice to showcase your fav book bloggers that have made this past year awesome.

I agree about all the people on here, and the ones I don't follow, I do now!

These are great bloggers, I agree! Although, its too bad you weren't able to feature yourself! :)

In all seriousness, this was a great list and a great idea. You chose some top quality bloggers.

Alex Bennett said...

Thank you SO much for featuring my blog! And number two!!! Thank you so much, you'd be at the top of my list... if I made one.

lanna-lovely said...

They're all awesome. <3 (Especially Julie... but I'm probably biased there with her being my co-blogger, our blog would suck without her.) =P
