While I was initially attracted to the "Bookslut" blog, for obvious reasons, I found that one dense and unimaginative, and had little to do with actual sluts (a term, by the way, which I only approve of when used in the context of a deep understanding of intersectionality and exclusionary implications of that term toward women of color). At any rate, I struggled to find a blog that I felt like I would actually visit because I don't really care about people's reviews of books or articles. That's what twitter is for. The reason review blogs are so boring is because you can literally get a review from people you care about in 140 characters or less so why would you trust a stranger's 500 word discussion of the "themes" that you don't care about? I just want to know how much nudity I'm going to have to white knuckle through if I watch it with my mom. Isn't that what's really helpful in a review?
Anyway, the blog I settled on is GalleyCat. This blog is interesting because it doesn't seem to be focused specifically on literature. For example, they have a post that's just the trailer to Angelina Jolie's upcoming movie, "Maleficent" which looks incredibly dope. The blog links frequently to sources that are appealing to me, such as the Huffington Post, and makes use of multimedia to tie its literary agenda in with pop culture that is relevant and interesting to me, a vapid blonde teenage white girl. Apart from its connections to pop culture, it also brings many issues outside of the writing world into conversation with writing and issues that affect writers. It writes about music, politics (its most recent post being on the NSA), social media, and hotspots for writers and make them all relevant to its reading base, which is presumably comprised of writers or writing enthusiasts. One thing that also drew me to this blog was the format - it is clean, aesthetic, and easy to navigate, making clear concise posts which titles that let me know whether or not I want to read the post. I'm into the micro-post format because I'm a teenager and technology has melted my brain and my attention span and I have nails to paint and boys to lure into my underwater lair.
All in all, one of the better literary blogs in all of the literary blogs I've perused in my lifetime, which now officially consists of, like, nine. All of which I clicked on for this assignment.

This is my blogging face. Do I look like I'm ready to read a fucking essay on the

 use of the color green in Mrs. Dalloway? It's a blog for Pete's sake.
