I am going to give away some of my trade secrets today. Here is another list of cool websites for the bookworms out there (and where we go when we lack inspiration)
Beattie's Book Blog - We've said it before, but you are hardpressed to go past Graham Beatties' blog for news both national and international to do with books and the publishing industry.
Christchurch City Libraries - They set the standard really high for Library blogs in New Zealand. Live blogging from literary events around New Zealand are a highlight so check out what is happening at the New Zealand Post Readers and Writer's Week in Wellington this month.
Bookiemonster - A new favourite who was highlighted in the Sunday papers recently by author Nicky Pellegrino (also talking about the new style of book bloggers). Bookiemonster is also an online seller.
Good Books NZ - Another online seller, but this one has a point of difference. All profits go to Oxfam.
Manukau Libraries - Our colleagues down in Manukau have put together some great reviews and news on their new-look website.
NZ Books - This periodical is dedicated to reviewing New Zealand publications.
NZ Book Council - The home of New Zealand publishing news
Trade Me Book Forum - It's amazing what gems you pick up on this interactive forum, from where the big second hand book sales are to what to read next to the regular book quiz.
Have fun on the World Wide Web and have a great day.

Many thanks for the link! :)
Kia Ora Rodney Libraries,
Thanks for mentioning us in your useful list of book blogs. There are so many connections in the blogging world that it helps to share the ones you find particularly good.
I agree that Bookman Beattie is absolutely essential reading.
In terms of Kiwi author blogs (of which there are a few) Rachael King's blog is interesting.
Keep up the good work!
You are most welcome. Yes Donna, Rachael's blog is good. I think we have mentioned it here before so I was trying not repeat myself (he he).
See you all again soon in cyberspace.
