I subscribe to them through The Old Reader, and then just check that once a day, if I'm in town. https://theoldreader.com/<br /><br />Forgot one of my longtime favorites: PostSecret Every week there are two long posts of PostSecret postcards: new ones, and favorites from the past. They are snapshots of people's lives, confessions, heartbreaking revelations, and cries for help. Any one could inspire a novel, all by itself. I never fail to both sob and laugh.

I can only scan the news, scan Facebook in the mornings before I start work. Am I a slow reader? Just not interested enough in current affairs? But John does do some research and filtering for me. He reads the English newspapers every day and sends me snippets he thinks I should know about. And my daughter posts feminist stuff. But as for news... Frankly I'd rather not know.Rhysnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-999288217584774792016-09-01T10:59:49.500-04:002016-09-01T10:59:49.500-04:00Kristopher, I see your stuff on Facebook.

I just kidding, really. ;)<br /><br />I will add one author blog to your must-reads however. If you are not reading Chuck Windig's terribleminds (http://terribleminds.com/) you are really doing yourself a disservice. His content varies, but is always so well-written. And when he espouses on publishing issues, he can't be beat. Bookmark away!<br /><br />Other than that, I check JRW every day, "Hey, There's a Dead Guy in the Living Room" a few times a week, and EarlyWord (a librarian centered blog) daily.

Following the polls daily is like watching your stocks go up and down: better to just see it once in a while!<br /><br />Another good political aggregator is Real Clear Politics, which links to interesting news and opinion pieces across the blogosphere. Ross, who is a political junkie, follows that.<br /><br />It always amazes me to read that most Americans don't begin to pay attention to the presidential race until after Labor Day. Can that be true?

They irritate me sometimes, though, since they tend to overuse the same phrases over and over again, some of which make me cringe. Love seeing pretty clothes, though, which is the same reason I can't keep from picking up the latest issue of InStyle at the grocery store. <br /><br />My morning always starts with BBC News, then CBS News, CNN, JRW, and local obituaries, followed by the obits for the next county, where I grew up. I started doing that a couple years ago when my mother "forgot" to tell me one of my childhood friends had died, and I didn't learn about it until months later. Now I tell her when someone we know has passed. <br /><br />After the obits, I check out local news, NBC, CNBC, The Daily Beast, 538 (is this the one you follow, Hallie?), check out the stock markets and the weather, and then go to Facebook. Once in awhile I'll stop in at HuffPo, if there's a big controversy brewing, and I do follow a couple of blogs like Margaret & Helen, who I adore, and a couple of author blogs. I've cut back on most of them, though, because frankly they've gotten boring. Thank you, Reds, for avoiding that pitfall. <br /><br />Do I read all of these? No, I skim the headlines of the news sites, trying to winnow out the wheat from the overabundant chaff of gossip and "sponsored" links, which are nothing more than click bait.

In fact, the only blogs I follow regularly are JRW, Wicked Cozies (I read, although I don't always comment), and the group blog I belong to, Mysteristas.<br /><br />Like Paula, I'm kind of addicted to Twitter.

I also read Mystery Lovers Kitchen and Wicked cozies and lots of others when the devil Facebook calls attention to them...like tons of writing and promo posts.<br /><br />We get the paper New York Times every day and when in Key West, the Key West Citizen. We keep the papers on the kitchen table until dinner so we can read as we eat breakfast, lunch or snacks!

Otherwise I would never know what Mrs. Clooney is wearing. <br />I also follow In Style, The New Scientist, Wired, The Economist, several newspapers and news organizations, and The Paris Review, which often has great links to swell interviews with fabulous writers (I have the books too but it's nice to get that shot of inspiration from the Twitter feed every day).<br />Um, yeah, so I'm kind of addicted to Twitter.

I spend SO much time reading on screen - that is, working and Facebooking - that I just want a break and something to curl up on the couch with. My first blog of the day is this one, of course, and my friend Sylvia's personal blog, which she used to write daily but doesn't any more.
