Book Embargo

Here is some information about another book blogger. Book-worm.biz also does book reviews.

What I like about this blog is the “about” page actually. While most of my books that I read and blog about are from publishing houses, and while I do work at an independent bookshop, I don’t get a monetary kickback for reviewing books positively on this website. As of this time, I don’t make any money on my website, because as you will see, there are no ads here. (This may change at a later date however.)

They specify on their about page,

Ethics
The reviews have neither been paid for nor solicited by any company or publishing house and it is our intention to maintain this independence into the future.

I enjoy that they mention that they are running it to promote books of worth, instead of running it to make scads of money from a publishing house.

They are like me; they read a book and say, HEY! You should read this too!

Here is another Blog Roll. No Sheep is Zach, who is married to Sara. Small world eh? Unlike Sara who blogs about the baby and mother-dom, Zach blogs about computer stuff, comic book stuff, and other hilarious stuff worthy of a mention.

One of my favorite blog posts of Zach’s is that of the random baby kittens. Sara brought home three abandoned kittens that she had found. Regardless of how cute they are, and yeah they were WICKED cute, my favorite part is that this completely random blog post about baby kittens is one of his top hit posts. People comment asking if any of the kittens are available. (Mind you the post was from 2005… people STILL comment asking… hehe)

So Zach has completely random things like the kittens, hilarious things like Will Ferrell being chewed out by a two year old and worth while things like how to do things in java.. and C++ and other things I don’t understand but that comp-geeks DO understand.

Definitely a worthwhile blog to add to your own blog-roll! Check him out!

My friend Sara has a very fun website. She worked in children protective services, and has since has a child of her own. Her early blog posts refer to her work in CPS, and then phased into her pregnancy and now into a weekly report on her son’s development. Her son is one of the highlights of my life as well. He is delightful and pretty much any “baby info” I know is because of him.

From her blog post on Xander’s realization that his mom really WAS the best,

Yesterday I was later than usual picking him up, and by the time I got in the car to go get him, I was surprised at how much I missed my boy, and how excited I was to see him. When I got there, he was indeed crying while one of the women held him. As soon as Xander heard my voice, he turned towards me. Although I was still pretty cold from being outside, I picked him up and gave him a big hug. He immediately started to smile and giggle. I took him into another room to get him buckled into his car seat, and continued to kiss his face and talk to him, and the giggling continued. Even when I buckled him in (which he usually hates) he laughed at me.

If you have any interest in babies and especially if you just want actual information on pregnancy, check out Sara’s blog, and read through her back entries. Definitely worth it!!
