It’s a week of fun-filled blog posts!
We started the week with the summer fiction reading list (I’m reading Light Between Oceans now and it’s pretty good), then Lindsay Bell-Wheeler announced the top 10 guest bloggers of the first half of the year.
Now we present the #FollowFriday recommendations for 2013, as of last Friday.
If you are so inclined, we’ve also created a Feedly subscription to all of the blogs and a Twitter list so you can follow everyone’s feeds.
I hope my Canadian friends had a very happy Canada Day and my American friends had a very happy Fourth. Me? I’m off to the pool with my nieces to continue evening out my really bad cycling tan.
