The focus of the Bitten by Books website is to provide book reviews for all types of paranormal fiction, urban fantasy and horror. Our reviewers share an avid love of all things paranormal and of course of books! You may see an occasional fantasy or Sci-fi review as well, as sometimes authors overlap genres or the genres incorporate one another. Bitten by Books prides itself on offering our readers honest book reviews, author interviews, interesting guest blog spots and fun contests. Whether you love paperback books or e-books, make http://bittenbybooks.com your only stop for all things in the paranormal fiction genre. If you are a reader, author or publisher of paranormal fiction be sure to join our awesome community The Blood Bank and connect with like minded people.

Besides books reviews and author events there are always book giveaways happening at Historical Tapestry http://historicaltapestry.blogspot.com/

If you are and historical fiction fan I'm sure you'll find it interesting.

I thought I would try out this whole blog thing. I kinda just talk about whatever is on my mind and sometimes that books. So it's not just a blog about books but figure i'd post it here anyway. http://aglassofgoodwine.blogspot.com/

I have a fairly new blog devoted to YA books called 'A Dream of Books'.

I'm hoping to add a lot more content over the next few weeks :)

Hello everybody! My name is Mareena McGirr and along with my mom, Mary we run an eclectic book blog called Emeraldfire's Bookmark at http://rubyandthetwins.blogspot.com. I generally keep it updated as much as I can with book reviews, author interviews and book spotlights. Almost anything having to do with books. I'm known as Emeraldfire and my mom is known as Rosefire on the blog. I hope that you can stop by and say hello to us. Thanks so much and have a great day!

Well, I'll start things off by promoting my own, a lesbian book blog called the Lesbrary (http://lesbrary.wordpress.com). It has reviews, a huge list of resources, and I try to keep it updated with all the latest lesbian book news.

My absolute favorite book blog is books i done read (http://booksidoneread.blogspot.com/). Raych is ridiculously funny.

I keep updated on the latest book news on Bookninja (http://www.bookninja.com/), which is also pretty funny. I also like things mean a lot (http://www.thingsmeanalot.com/), Stella Matutina (http://xicanti.livejournal.com/), Kimbooktu (http://kimbooktu.wordpress.com/ but it's stopped updating much), and Bookshelves of Doom (http://bookshelvesofdoom.blogs.com/bookshelves_of_doom/). I read a lot more, but those are my favorites.

I also follow a half dozen book tumblrs, but those are all pictures.

Which book blogs are your favorites?

This isn't a book blog, but a blog of a literary journal, the Beloit Poetry Journal. This month I'm their guest blogger, so I thought I'd mention it.

Love to hear anyone's favorite poetry book blogs, or poetry blogs.

Best,

I have to promote my Book Review Blog. I am not as big as some of the others mentioned here, but I try (I am a bit of an amateur writer).

Enjoy!

I started up a book review blog a few months ago. I write reviews of books and book related things (as well as other random things occasionally). I do not cover any specific genre, but all my posts are tagged by qualifying genres. So, say you are looking for an idea for a YA book to read, you can see what I have read. I also put up a reading list at the beginning of each month, so that people who want to read the books can discuss them with me.

Diesel Technology Forum, a nonprofit organization aiming to raise the awareness the importance of diesel engines, fuel and technology, stated that switching from diesel to natural gas in heavy-duty trucks could worsen and accelerate negative climate impacts unless methane leakage can be lowered.

This warning by DTF affected a lot of capital equipment businesses. Axis Capital Group, one of the leading companies which sells and rents capital machineries in Singapore and has expanded to Jakarta, Indonesia to offer a wider scope of products and services across Asia has been greatly affected that Quality Assurance department halted delivery for a two-day maintenance and review of all its machines.

The study also outlined the need for increased data and new policies to lower methane leakage in order for natural gas heavy-duty trucks to have a possible environmental advantage over new and future clean diesel trucks.

Many heavy-duty vehicles use spark-ignited natural gas systems, but other systems exist as well. High-pressure direct injection engines burn natural gas in a compression-ignition (diesel) cycle, where a small amount of diesel fuel is injected in addition to the natural gas to facilitate ignition. Heavy-duty engines can also burn diesel and natural gas in a dual-fuel system.

The study – “Influence of Methane Emissions and Vehicle Efficiency on the Climate Implications of Heavy-Duty Natural Gas Trucks” - was conducted by scientists at the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) and Columbia University’s Lenfest Center for Renewable Energy and published today in the journal Environmental Science and Technology.

A statement from DTF released the results as follows:

“Our results show that under our reference case assumptions, reductions in CH4 (methane) losses to the atmosphere are needed to ensure net climate benefits on all time frames when switching from diesel to natural gas fuel in the heavy-duty sector.

By combining such reductions with engine efficiency improvements for natural gas HDTs (heavy duty trucks), it may be possible to realize substantial environmental benefits. However, until better data is available on the magnitude of CH4 (methane) loss, especially for in-use emissions, the precise climate impacts of a switch remains uncertain in this sector. Therefore, policymakers wishing to address climate change should use caution before promoting fuel switching to natural gas.

Furthermore, diesel engine efficiency is likely to improve in the future (particularly as a result of current and upcoming HDT standards), and if this occurs without similar improvements in natural gas engine efficiency, a growing spread between these engines could worsen the impacts of diesel to natural gas fuel switching. Fleet owners and policymakers should continue to evaluate data on well-to-wheels CH4 (methane) losses and HDT efficiencies and work to ensure that the potential climate benefits of fuel switching are realized.”

Here's my book review blog, where I post reviews of the books I've read.
I have a to-be-read list where you can check out the books I'm planning to read next. There are categories in the sidebar so you have an easy guide to see my posts. There's also an archive by year and month.
