This is a weekly feature from The Broke and the Bookish.
This week it's "Top Ten Blogs/Sites You Read That AREN'T About Books.
Mine are:
1. Tom and Lorenzo: Blog that started about as Project Rungay, but has now morphed into a general fashion blog.
2. Cracked: I remember reading this magazine when I was little, and I don't know how I found the website, but they have a numbered list every day and some of them are VERY interesting.
3. Slate: Liberal news site with interesting articles, but my favorite feature is Dear Prudence, the advice columnist.
4. TV Tropes: Ok, maybe this one is cheating a little bit, but it's not just about books! It's such a good source for analyzing and thinking about all sorts of media and I don't even want to think about how much time I've wasted here.
5. Snopes: I check this website from time to time. I also have to use it quite a bit to refute a lot of things posted by Facebook friends.
6. Skinny Taste: Just discovered this cooking/recipe blog and I have tried making several of her recipes, all with good results.
7. Smitten Kitchen: Another cooking blog that I love.
I can only think of 7 that I really look at on a regular basis.
Oh wow, Cracked.com is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAh hah hah hah, another Troper... :) I've considered linking to tropes within my reviews, but somehow that doesn't seem nice to unsuspecting readers who have no idea how quicksand-like that site is!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I actually do link to TV Tropes in my reviews, because reading that site has given me new fuel in thinking about books, movies, etc.
DeleteI check Snopes sometimes also when I need to prove to someone that an email or something on facebook is fake. I have not heard of any of the others. Thanks for sharing.

Oooh, I love cooking blogs! I'm definitely taking a look at Skinny Taste and Smitten Kitchen. Also, Snopes sounds really interesting...I've never heard of it before.
ReplyDeleteI really should find my cooking blogs and actually try out recipes, I hate trying to figure out what to cook for dinner.

I love Tom + Lorenzo! I mainly read it for their Mad Men commentary, especially their Mad Style fashion posts, but it is an awesome blog all around. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI totally forgot about Smitten Kitchen. Love that site.
