fiction

Blog posts tagged as Fiction are usually book reviews. For example, a blog that reviews books for children or teens / young adults may tag the post as Fiction to indicate that the book is a work of fiction. This helps people search the blog to find only posts that are about fictional books. Blogs that often use the tag fiction are generally written by people discussing books. For example, Fuse #8 is popular blog by Librarian Betsy Bird of the New York Public Library. Cynsations is a popular blog by the author Cynthia Leitich Smith. You can also find great book review blogs written by other authors, parents, teachers, librarians, illustrators, book award committees, and booksellers.

Fiction is a work of literature that has been created or imagined in the mind of the author. This is different than non fiction, which are works that are presented as facts. You can find and buy works of fiction from sites like Amazon.com or you can find them at your local bookstore using sites like IndieBound.org.

  A Sex Blog by Alex and Suzanne — Authority: 146
  How big is too big when it comes to breasts on Hentai cartoons. This is a serious question. I like Japanese Manga, but I don’t actually get sexually aroused by Hentai. I look on it more as art. I believe that good Hentai is art. It can be inventive, provocative and really help the author [...]
