5 bookish sites/blogs you will like (the implied OR ELSE is totally your imagination...)

"Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life."
― Mark Twain

So. This ridiculous thing happened. I left you all to your own devices and headed off to Toronto to do THINGS and STUFF. Mostly, to attend a dorky convention for the tv show Supernatural, while sliding in trips to sightsee as well. Strangely, the highlight of my holiday wasn't meeting Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki. It was a quick two minute conversation with Mark Sheppard about Doctor Who (Mark played Canton Delaware), New Zealand and our atrocious accents. That brief moment where he indulged my fangirlness? Forever top of mind. And hearing him debate with another fan why setting up partisan Doctor Who camps is actually bad for the fandom as a whole? Be still my geekgirl heart. I'm back in NZ physically, even if my brain is still in North America somewhere. (This gives me an excuse to go back and get it again, right?). Surprisingly, my first post is not Toronto/Supernatural-related. Nor is it Armageddon related. Despite what this intro may lead you to believe. (By the way, it was fantastic to meet/see some of you during the Saturday/Sunday of Armageddon!). Those will come a little later next week, though, I promise. Today's post is a quick list of bookish bloggy/websitey type recommendations I lose my collective mind over BECAUSE I live to feed your literacy addiction. YOU'RE WELCOME. So! Did you miss me?
