However, here are some of my favorite blogs and the links to them, in case you are a nicer person than I and can actually take the time to make someone else feel happy by commenting on their wonderful posts.
My brother Ben's blog. I find it incredibly fascinating to be able to so easily access his work when he is always so protective of it at home. I have never been able to read so much of his writing normally, and I feel like I am seeing a whole other side of him when I can read his posts. He is extremely creative in his posts and I love the poems he writes and his interesting opinions and connections with books. I feel like his blog really stands out from others because he writes about such unique things and has such a special writing style. The post that really exemplifies this creativity is one of his first posts, Mrs. Whatsit, The High Priestess. It was really interesting to read about the connections between tarot cards and A Wrinkle in Time. Fascinating. Nice work, bro.
Secondly, there is my friend Izzy's blog. And I'm not just writing this because we're close friends - Izzy writes about interesting books and topics with unexpected and thought provoking angles to them. She doesn't limit her blog to just school-related posts, however - she posts about music, movies, and other aspects of pop culture that are so interesting to read about. I look forward to reading her posts each week because she never fails to be creative with her writing. One of my favorite posts of her is called Congratulate Me..., where she talks about Alfred Hitchcock's movie Shadow of a Doubt. I personally love reading movie reviews and opinions, so this was so much fun to read. She also leaves great comments, and I thank her for that.
Then there's Pia's blog -- how could I leave this lady out? Pia never ceases to amaze me with her impossibly advanced and developed writing style and vocabulary. Her posts are marvels in themselves - it's as if a doctor or some other really smart person wrote them. But on top of all that, she writes about interesting topics and great books and with such creativity - it is clear that Pia is a very gifted writer. A great post is this one on the book Looking For Alaska by John Green, called The Great Perhaps. She gives an excellent interpretation of a wonderful book. Not much to say here - keep up the good work, Pia.
Lastly, there is a blog by a classmate that I admire so much for her bold, creative writing style. This is Audrey and her blog "My Infinite Reading Post". Besides writing about good books, Audrey always presents her readers with an entertaining, humorous, and very creative blog post that's almost casual - she doesn't overanalyze things - instead, she addresses her ideas and opinions with a voice that is unique and always a pleasure to read. One that shows so much of her unique voice is Are We Allowed to Have Co-writers? PLEASE!! Even by just reading the title of this post, you can tell that she has so much personality. I love how she lets her younger sister write part of it - it adds a whole new feeling to the post. Great blog, Audrey.
Please check these blogs out, readers, they are well worth reading.
