Friday Reads: Antigoddess by Kendare Blake

@ In Love With Handmade

This week Pili @ In Love With Handmade's review of Antigoddess was what caught my attention. I've seen this book around but the cover does nothing to capture my attention so I ignored it, until I read this review. It's clear, well written and explained. After reading it, I'm quite intrigued by the book as the review did what the cover couldn't, catch my attention. Loving the whole idea of dying greek gods and some reflection of the Battle of Troy. Great review Pili and I can't wait to read the book!

Cover Snark (72): The One Where I’m Trying to Figure Out WordPress

@ A Reader of Fiction

This week I found a fun new feature that Christina @ A Reader of Fiction has on her blog. It's called Cover Snark, where she basically talks about some new covers and gives us some snark :) I think it's quite fun, so I hope you guys enjoy as well!

Harry Potter Moments of the Week

@ Blog of the Erised

You know those posts that when you read them they just make you smile. Harry Pottor Moments of The Week is a meme hosted by Uncorked Thoughts and I absolutely love reading them. I don't have a good enough memory to be able to participate; though I plan to one day. This week, it was about favourite characters and to be honest I read the post because the GIF caught my attention.

Ronald!! That's all that needs saying :)

Three Mini Reviews

+Feed Me Books Now 

This one's a great post that features 3 reviews in one as the title suggests. I really enjoyed it as, it's of three books that I've seen around but not hear much about. Also, the blogger does a great job of explaining her thoughts. Overall, I found it quite enjoyable :)

Arrogance: He, Sexy; She, Bitch

@Paper Sanctuary

Another great post by a very good blogger. This one brings up the ever present issue of sexual inequality. Whether it's in fiction or real life, it's still here no matter the era and progress.

What really awesome posts have you encountered this week?

Best of Saturday is a new feature on The Sirenic Codex about highlighting YA blog posts. There are memes for highlighting books we want to read, what we're currently reading, lists, but I've never seen somewhere we can feature one another's work.

There are many fantastic bloggers who write some quality posts that deserve to be seen. Best of Saturday (also known as BOS, pronounced "boss", because it's BOSS!) aims to promote sharing these posts. The rules are quite simple. If you want to participate, you can feature any post you like as long as it's not on your blog. 

There are two different ways to go about promoting a post. First, you could actually have your own post promoting a post (write why it's awesome, why it speaks to you, your response, etc.) and link that in the first link-up. The second link-up will be a tl;dr link-up, so you can link the post you want to promote.

What you could also do is simply pick a post you think deserves recognition and link it in the second link-up. You don't need to have your own blog feature; you can just pick posts throughout the week that you enjoyed. The one rule about this second link-up is to not repeat posts. That's why the format for the link-up matters. You can link as many great blog posts as you want as well.

I'll give you an example to make it clear.

Let's say I'm from Awesomely Amazing Reads and I want to highlight YA Everyday's post: PNR: Best Genre Ever. I think it's humourous and well written, and I want this blogger to get some recognition for this great post. I write a post featuring YA Everyday's post on my blog and link that to the first linky. I'll put in my blog's name, my blog post URL, and my email.

I'll then use the second link-up to feature YA Everyday's post. I'll put in their link, my email, and the name should be written in this format:

blog post name from blog name
In this case, it would be:
PNR: Best Genre Ever from YA Everyday

You don't have to post on a Saturday, but there will be a new link-up every Saturday. You can check at some point every week to see which posts your fellow bloggers recommend, and go explore the awesome world of YA blogging. The posts you feature can be written by authors, publishers, or be newspaper articles: all that matters is that they have something to do with either YA or YA book blogging.

The YA Blogosphere is an awesome, if not enormous, community and we should support one another just as we support books. If you have any questions regarding BoS, feel free to ask in the comments. Also, I highly encourage that you leave a comment as you're visiting these recommended posts. Let the bloggers know you think their post is awesome- it means a lot to them.

Thanks guys, and have a great weekend!
