literature

The tag literature is used often by bloggers when writing posts about books. These are often blogs written by librarians and other educators. A very popular blog about children's literature is Fuse #8 by Librarian Betsy Bird of the New York Public Library. Bookslut is a fun literature blog, and you can read breaking news about literature and the book industry at Galleycat.

Bloggers also use the tag literature in blogs that review fiction and nonfiction. A great blog about nonfiction literature is Nonfiction Matters by Marc Aronson at School Library Journal. Cynsations is a blog by Cynthia Leitich Smith, author of fiction for young readers and faculty member at the Vermont College of Fine Arts MFA program in Writing for Children and Young Adults. You can browse and buy literature of all type from sites like Amazon or you can find them at your nearest local bookstore using IndieBound.org.
