1) Tor writes regularly about the latest in science-fiction writing. When I read the page, one of the first entries to appear was one about the possibilty of a zombie apocolypse, exactly the scenario in the book I'm currently reading, The Reapers are the Angels by Alden Bell. It may not be the most personal of blogs (it's huge and posts are written by many different people), but the content directly relates to what we're studying -- angels and zombies. It talks about science-fiction books, shows, news, and movies.
2) A Book Blogger's Diary consists of one woman's quest for good books. Her name isn't shown, but she gives detailed, helpful reviews after providing a quick synopsis of the book. It was voted one of the top blogs of 2010 by Online PhD Programs.
3) "MizB" writes every single day without fail (from "Musing Mondays" to "Sunday Salon") about books on her blog called Should Be Reading. She reviews books -- lots of them -- and talks about books and reading more generally, too. I've already found a book or two that I'd like to read from her blog (Something Borrowed by Emily Griffin and Falling Under by Gwen Hayes).
4) Kristi is a young woman who considers herself fairly similar to teenagers. Her blog, The Story Siren, gives reviews about books mostly about romance. The posts are detailed and helpful, allowing you to choose whether or not it sounds interesting with still her own opinionated views.
5) While many of those previously listed blogs focus on more romantic books, A Bookworm's World discusses novels with mystery and suspense. Personally, I like a good balance between hard-core books with death and detectives and some sugarcoated sweetness of a summer romance.
