23 Things Week 5: RSS and Feed Reader

Choosing an RSS feed reader was an easy choice for me.  I am already inundated with email, so I did NOT want to use Feed My Inbox.  I DID want something that I would remember to check often.  Google Reader fit the bill since I could access it from the Dashboard when I am here, on my own blog .  I already had a gmail account so that was one less thing to set up and, thus,  no need to remember another password (thank heavens!).

On of the blogs I subscibed to is:

Bookends A Booklist Blog

Middle-school librarians Cindy Dobrez and Lynn Rutan prove that two heads are better than one when it comes to discussing YA and children's books"   

There are usually 2-3 short posts per week, with each post focused on one book recommendation.

I also enjoy reading a blog by Neil Gaiman, author of  Coraline, and The Graveyard Book.  He talks about everything including  writing, his speaking engagements, his involvement with the movies made from his books, beekeeping, and his personal life.  An interesting guy, and one who is VERY active in social media including Twitter where he posts constantly as "neilhimself".
