Bloggers, Bloggers Everywhere

Being brand new to the world of blogging, I'm still trying to figure out how this phenomenon works. I've selected some of my favorite blogs to follow (anonymously) and am amazed at how many sites are out there devoted to the world of children's literature. I try to read enough about the person blogging to make a judgment on the quality/validity of the blogger's opinion. But in the end, it's just a gut feeling about who's legit and who's a wingnut. Of course, if the person is at all like me, he or she is wary of this whole medium and is giving out as little information as possible. That's no help. However, I have finally selected one blogger to request a review of my book from. This lady seems intelligent, kind, and eager for review material. An email sent by me got a favorable response ("I would love to review it"), so I'll be sending Mumsi along and will be checking for a review on the TBA site.
