Booklove

I should’ve mentioned this several weeks ago, but Critical Mass is a most excellent book blog. Run by members of the National Book Critics Circle, the blog covers all parts of the book publishing industry, from sales numbers to newspaper review pages to actual fiction criticism, and it’s consistently wonderful. Recently, in response to the New York Times Book Review survey that unscientifically named Beloved best book of the last 25 years, they ran a feature allowing different voters in the survey to write about what they chose (or didn’t) and why. Recommended reading for all fans of that whole paper and ink business.
