When I commenced exploring the three example blogs provided by Gary, I ran into a dead end with the first one (the site had been hacked), the second one was too dry for a Monday morning so I persevered with the final one: The Librarian in Back.

The premise of The Librarian in Back is fun. Its a modern, sharp, Gen-Y feeling blog that eradicates the musty idea folks have of librarians of old.
I liked the post about Shit Librarians Say as I always enjoy the Shit the ____ Say memes. I look forward to checking back in on the competition to view the YouTube entries.
The eBooks article was interesting, and proved that the blogger, Sarah Houghton, knows the publishing industry well. That kind of know-how is a always a plus for the readers because it gives us confidence in the blogger.
However, by the time I finished the article, and started to read the next post, I was over Sarah Houghton. I got the feeling that she is her own biggest fan, and her writing style is just a bit too pointy and stabby (?) to enjoy. She rambles way too much which made reading her blog posts too much like hard work.
I guess there is a certain self-indulgence that comes with any blog - it almost always turns me off reading them.
