New Discoveries Tag + A Special Announcement

I wasn't tagged by anyone for this as I....just made this up. But I was just thinking of how great it would be to share some blogs I've just newly discovered(and been pleasantly surprised by). So I created this tag.

The rules:

1. Share the picture above in your post and link back to the person who tagged you.
2. Share at least one blog you've recently discovered. (Try to say something about each blog)
3. Share at least one blog you'd describe as a new favorite.
4. Share at least one blog  you'd describe as an old favorite.
5. Tag however many people you like.

New Discoveries

Loony Literate - I recently discovered Emily's book blog. You should check it out! She's loony. She's literate. Is there a better combination? I think not.

26 Countless Possibilities - Rebecca and Sierra recently started this blog where they post book reviews, interviews, giveaways, and such. It's really awesome!

His Little Elephant - Unfortunately, this blog has been discontinued until further notice, and it's going to be made private. But I wanted to share it anyway, because Koko has done such a good job--and leaves the best comments!

Book. Blog. Bake. - Books and food. My two favorite things. Check. It. Out.

Blogging Brownie - This is a bit different from what I usually read, which is mostly just book/writing blogs, but I think you should check it out! Rachel blogs about art, DIYs, recipes, reviews, and life in general.

Such a Novel Idea - Run by Jess, Loren, and Aleya, and they do such a wonderful job with reviews, memes, giveaways, etc.

Brett Michael Orr - This guy writes amazing reviews and has an awesome instagram. Please--I implore of you--go visit his blog.

The Wallflower - A blog that meshes books and writing!

Forever Literary - Run by a girl with a passion for YA books. Can you fault her?

Readers in Wonderland - Tags, reviews, discussions. Gotta love it!

Simple Scribbles - Jessica(who's an amazing writer, btw) offers writing advice and book reviews!

For the Bookish - I'm a new follower, but already a fan! I love Emily's enthusiasm.

Reverie of a Glitter Aficionado - Hope on over there to give this new blogger some support! This girl loves words, reading, poetry, and movies it seems :)

Diary of a Teen Writer - I recently discovered this blog of teen reader and writer(who's about to be published!).

La Romantique - All right, so I don't understand the French parts, but the English parts I enjoy!

Sophie Reads YA - More YA books!

The Fictional Reader - If only I was fictional....

Feed Your Fiction Addiction - Reviews, Discussions, Memes, oh my!

New(ish) favorites

Paper Fury - Cait is hilarious. And she devours books. So, basically a girl after my own heart.

Musings of an Elf - A reader and writer muses on writing and life.

Opal Swirls - I almost want to put this as an old favorite, but then again, I've only been blogging for 8-9 months, and I'm not sure when I became a committed reader. All the same, Opal is an amazing blogger and posts about a variety of topics.

The Devil Orders Takeout - Reading, writing, life, and random morbid insanity.

Gossiping With Dragons - Imogen describes herself as a fantasy loving wordaholic. She's a kindred spirit.

Genie in a Book - This book blog is really lovely.

Old favorites

Ana @ Butterflies of the Imagination

Alexa @ Summer Snowflakes

Jessica @ Bookish Serendipity

Aimee @ To the Barricade

Alea @ Elvish Pens, Fantastical Writings

Heather @ Sometimes I'm a Story

Stephanie, Jill, and Shannon @ Go Teen Writers

^^^Just trust me on these^^^

Well, this feels like fan month all over again. And you know what? I love it! I'm really sorry that I couldn't mention everyone. There so much more blogs I love and that I have yet to discover.

I tag: EVERYONE mentioned above! And anyone who wants to do this.

**Edit: I am now thinking that maybe listing a plethora of blogs was a bad idea, as I am now feeling horrible for forgetting to list other favorites like South Kakalaki Girl, Poetree, and Ravens and Writing Desks. There are actually a lot more, but you know, I should just stop now.

Now, you may be wondering what this special announcement is. You also may be wondering why it says I have a new contributor to the blog. Well, it all ties in together.

 

I've been pretty busy lately, and with college starting in the fall I knew I would just get busier and have less time to post. So, to keep The Scribbling Sprite active, I've invited Alison, my cousin and best friend extraordinaire, to be my co-blogger! I'll be interviewing her in my next post, so come back for that and give her a warm welcome!
