Modern Day Faith is a relatively new blog without many posts, but overall, I can see the potential of the blog. At times, it seems to be lacking a bit of information, and the posts have a tendency to be short, but as I stated before, I can DEFINITELY see the potential. I don't think you will find any 'high school' drama in this one. So far, I would definitely RECOMMEND reading the blog! 2 Thumbs Up!!!
~S~
I also like Modern Day Faith and think it has alot of potential. It reminds me of a Sex and the City or Bedroom Blog but more down to earth. It is about a young woman named Faith, her boyfriend adventures, friend adventures and of course work adventures. And somtimes these interact together. The author seems to write well and has said this is for a school project. Yes the posts are a bit short compared to other blogs but all and all 2 thumbs up.

I really like this blog and it has tons of potential, I can see it going in many ways. I like her style of writing and do wish the entries were a tad longer. I look forward to seeing where the writer takes the story, check it out!

Diary of J
The Link: http://diaryofj1.blogspot.com/
Anyone who reads my blog knows: I am not a fan of the Diary Of J. I don't think her writing is that great (in my opinion it sounds like she's trying too hard.), her postings are spotty (she ALWAYS has an excuse for not posting. I understand that bloggers have a life too, and may miss a couple posts, but if your life is THAT hectic? Cut back.), and I think a lot of the "drama" she writes about is not only juvenile, but she brings it on herself. I also don't like the way she talks to her readers, say one negative thing, and she pretty much snaps on you. I also feel like (and have discussed this with other readers) that her blog REALLY sounds like she was a lot younger than she claims. She claims all this stuff was happening in college, but it really sounds high school-ish to me, and from how old she claimed to be in other blogs, she would be of high school age when this was written.
Here's the thing though, again, I feel like the comments on this blog are insane. I'm not a fan of J's, so I don't read her blog. I don't understand WHY people would get on her blog, read it, and then leave the nasty comments they do, ESPECIALLY if they don't like it. If you don't like it, why are you reading it then? I went back to catch up so I could do this review, but otherwise, I tend to stay away. It's not that I think you can't get on there and disagree with something J did (although, prepare to get yelled at if you do!) But to say some of the nasty things people are saying? Especially anonymously. I get it, you could create a fake account and attach whatever sort of name to it you want, but it STILL seems more legit than "anonymous". When someone anonymous says something bad, all I can think is that they must not have thought strongly enough to be willing to attach their name to it, so it must not really mean anything.
Bottom line: I personally don't read this blog, and I don't recommend it. But I have to say, for all you people who don't like it and go over there JUST to leave nasty comments: Get a life.

------------------
Diary of J...I am a follower, but it isn't one of my favorite blogs. I too find the writing to be a bit immature, and it definitely sounds younger than college. There is much much much drama in this blog.
J doesn't react the best to negative feedback, but I have to agree with Laura, if you don't like the blog, why go there, read, and comment. Get over it. I don't like to see anyone discouraged from doing something they enjoy. I think J's story is 2 thumbs up for the high school audience, but for older audiences, I think it's 2 thumbs down.
~S~
My thoughts of Dairy of J. First I do commend J for putting her "life" out there like that. That does take guts. 2nd I used to read this blog, and am probably still a follower even though I gave up on it. Too much High School drama, gets old after a while. Like S said if you like high school drama great blog. If you don't then don't read it. Now I do agree with Laura that most of the drama on here is brought on by J herself. She has commented that she does realize this to some extent. But that is her own personal obsticle to tackle. Anyhoo on the comments, yes J can have a "holier than thou" attitude toward her readers. She has made some very negative remarks as if she is so much better than her readers. One she did apologize for. Also there have been very negative remarks made to J on the comments. This is pointless. Why read something you don't like just to make snide remarks about it. I can understand voicing a negative opinion on a particular post, but if you don't like the overall blog, just don't read it. I don't care for it so I don't read it anymore.

Fifteen Miles to Utopia
I'm going ahead with the next blog review. Fifteen Miles to Utopia. Excellant blog, excellant writing. The author has a real talent for getting her story across. The reader really feels like she's in the story. There was one sex scene. No crude language, no too intimate of details, but it really got you breathing hard. So much better than any "sex" blog. Also details, the author details scenes so well you can actually see it in your mind. Now for the problem with this blog. A short while ago the author became extremely pressured by the commentors. From what I could tell, it was just simple statements like "I can't wait for the next post" "I'm dying for a new post" things like that, that are meant to be compliments, but for whatever reason the author took this as "pressure" and retorted with very uncalled for remarks to her loyal readers. "Speaking" to them as a mother disiplining a child. And she decided to shut down the blog for a time. After relaxing and getting it back together she began posting again. Only once a week and with a friend monitering the comments. Ok, that's fine. Only once again a commentor wrote that she was dying for the next post. The friend mediator posted the comment along with one of her own telling the poor commentor to stop complaining. Obviously she was not complaining, just excited. So the author posted a note saying that she told her friend not to be so snippy. The note had such an air of arrogance to it that it really turned me off. This is a fantastic blog, but the author's diva attitude is really ruining it. I don't look forward to the posts as I once did. But still all and all I do highly recommend the blog. Just stay out of the comment section.
Laura B
15 Miles-Review
This is a blog I really like, and have been reading from the beginning. I enjoy the story line and like the characters. They feel alive, real and I find myself “feeling” them.
BUT I now stay completely way from the comments; I don’t read them any more at all. In fact I was quite disappointed to find yet another “note” posted about comments. Voicing again how I, as the reader, should feel.
I also don’t find myself remembering when there are updates; I often will forget to check. I don’t eagerly wait on the edge of my seat come Wednesday mornings for that post.
I would definitely recommend this story, but stay clear of the comments. In fact it would not surprise me if there was some “feedback” or “note” about me even reviewing her blog, but that’s OK….it’s called an opinion for a reason, not everyone has to agree!! -Jen
Ooooh 15 miles. I can't say that the story isn't good. Because it is, it's fantastic. And, I think if you're new to reading it, and you were around for the authors little temper tantrum, you may be able to get into it. However, I think it may be ruined for me. I used to check hourly for posts, not because I actually expected them to be there, but because I was hoping, maybe the author got a little extra time. I can't say I wasn't disappointed when there wasn't a new post. I was. But it was NEVER something I blamed the author for. Again, the story is JUST that good, no matter how long the previous entry was, or how frequent the postings, you are just always left wanting more. This is something that I LOVE to hear about my blog, and when I do, I get the biggest smile on my face. However, don't drop that kind of compliment on the Author of 15 miles. In fact, I would be hesitant to drop ANY kind of compliment on her, because you never really know how she'll take it.
As good as a restaurant may be, if the service is crappy, I will complain, and if it doesn't get fixed, I won't be back. The same goes for blogs. Yes, I understand, it's a free service. I have my own blog, I post 4 times a week, I know it can be time consuming, and I know I do it purely for fun. BUT, that doesn't give me a right to make people kiss my ass and stroke my ego. I'm not going to ignore when someone is rude to me just because it's free. I feel like the author treats her readers like children, I think she has a big head, and I think she's full of herself. She also whines about the pressure, and it comes off like she makes the readers beg for posts. And if you say something she doesn't like, she had no problem making an example out of you (or sending her minions to do so.)
I'll admit, I still read from time to time. When I'm bored. Which makes me SO sad, because I used to love this blog so much. But all the recent drama has killed it for me. If you want to continue to love this blog, I suggest like all the other reviewers: Stay away from the comments.
It's also sad, that as of lately, a lot of comment sections are getting more attention than actual blogs themselves. I'm glad this happened to the Cosmo blog, because as Laura B said, I've made some really good friends off there. But as for the rest of them... I dunno. All I can suggest is maybe looking at things with an open mind. HEAR what your readers are saying, even if you may not like it. And if you're "sick of the comment drama" either take comments off your page or STOP RESPONDING. You can't fuel the fire and get shocked when it ends up out of control.
I also know that most of this review wasn't even about the blog, mainly the author. But it just goes to show you that when you open yourself up to the public like that, you've GOT to be careful how you act. You can very easily turn people off simply by your attitude, and then it doesn't matter how good your work is.

Review: Racy Rendezvous
The Link: http://sexxxmarksthespot.blogspot.com/?zx=1c95cd61f9ac7da0
So I am not sure you can count this as a full review or not, as I didn’t read right up to the current post. But I do have a reason(s).
I found this blog exhausting to read. It was all over the place and up and down emotionally, I was emotionally spent trying to keep up and get into the blog. That said, perhaps if I hadn’t read entry after entry, I may not have felt that way.
I found the writing OK and the descriptions good. As for the sexual content, the scenes were descriptive, edging on graphic; with imagination you could put yourself in the scenes, (I'm not saying you want to, I'm just "saying"). I personally am not crazy about swear words, or the graphic content.... I prefer cleaner writing but that is IMO, but each to their own.
I will not keep reading it, and therefore can't recommend it. It just wasn't for me, and I must admit it made me glad not to be 19 again:)-Jen
I agree with Jen on this blog. Very sexually explicit. It may be fun to read with your partner, but alone it's not for me. Also it is all over the place, more of a personal journal than a sex blog. I wouldn't recommend it even if you are into sex blogs. Not enough action. I also don't like the cussing and crude language. You can be sexy without being gross.

As We Lay ... Blog Review
I have read the "As We Lay" blog, and I have to say overall, I like the blog, but at times, I do find it to be a bit confusing. References to certain people that should be others, etc., but after taking a few minutes to re-read a paragraph here and there, I figured it out.
The story seems to be really good, with lots of twists. I like the possibilities that could come from this story.
The grammar and punctuation could use a little work, but it's not something that would keep me from reading.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this blog! I am now a follower!
---------------
As We Lay-Review
I started reading this blog not long after she started. It was one of
my “filler” reads, and I find that the story has come a long way. The
story is interesting, has lots of potential, and a good read.
I, personally, don’t find it has the same “gotta check for an update”
feeling as Macyn and Nothing More than Apathy. However it definitely
could turn into one in the future.
As a follower, I would recommend checking out this blog!

Macyn
The Link: http://macynmcintyre.blogspot.com/?zx=1e20c6d724abd1de
Ok I guess I'll start. We are going to review the new blog Macyn. This blog is updated 5 days a week, so if you like frequent updates this one may be for you. I am really enjoying this blog. The author has stated that she is unsure of her writing skills but I do think her writing is really good, although I am not an English teacher and I don't really think that blogs should be reviewed in such a light as the authors are amateurs and the posts are usually unedited. Back to Macyn. So far only three characters have been introduced, one briefly, but I do like the character descriptions that have been given. I kind picture what each character looks like. The storyline is good, very interesting with a lot of unanswered questions that we can look forward to finding out the answers. In fact the only thing that I can criticise is that the story does seem a bit predictable. And I'm sure the author will prove me wrong on that one. Overall I highly recommend this blog. (Two thumbs up)
Laura B
Alright, here's my opinion on the Macyn blog:
I agree with the fact that it is a little predictable. However, I do realize that it just started, therefore I'm kind of with everyone else, where I'm expecting a twist in things. I also have a personal pet peeve when people don't use contractions when writing. It's not a major thing, just my own little annoyance, and I feel like a lot of times in the Macyn blog, she doesn't use a lot of contractions, which can read in my head a little robotic and fake at times. It's a minor thing, and I think I'm a little nutty for noticing it, lol. Over all, I do like the storyline, and I of course love frequent postings, especially since it seems like most of the blogs I read have cut down on their posting schedules. I can't really comment on how the author treats the readers, mainly because I don't tend to read the comments (it's been a busy couple of weeks, so I read and move on!) So, I don't know if there's been comment beef or not. But, I do think from talking to the author personally that it does seem like she would handle any negative comments well.
Overall, I would say it's a good read. I'm hanging in to see what'll happen next!

--Blog Reviewers Biographies--
Hi guys-
We plan on starting a blog review blog, where you can find blogs, suggest blogs, and voice your honest opinion on other blogs without anyone editing your comments (as long as they're respectful and mature. But remember, someone may like a blog that you don't, or vice versa, people are free to voice whatever opinion they have on blogs) We're going to play this by ear and see how it goes, we may be changing things up, but we'd like your opinions and suggestions. Here are the main reviewer's brief bio's so you can get to know a little about us. Check back because we'll be editing to add more reviewer's bio's. Also, we're trying to figure out which blogs we should review first. Leave your suggestions for the blog in the comments please!
I'm ~S~ and I'm the author of the blog, Macyn McIntyre.
I am 31 years old, married, and the mother of 3.
I love reading in general, but my favorite author is David Baldacci. My favorite blogs are: The Karen Chronicles and Nothing More Than Apathy
My husband works out of town, so the majority of my time is spent tending/caring for our 3 kids. I started my blog because of a writing class, and I have found writing to be very relaxing, but when I find it to become a hinderance, I will stop. My one pet peeve is being interrupted. Overall, I'm a pretty laid-back person, who goes with the flow.
I'm Laura, I have a blog, Nothing More Than Apathy.
I'm 23 years old (24 in January), I'm married (2 years in Feb.), I have one little boy (Just turned a year in Sept.)
I read a lot, Wally Lamb and Sarah Dessen are two of my favorite authors. I liked the twilight series, but I didn't think it was very well written. I also loved the book Water For Elephants. I started my blog out of boredom and frustration with other blogs. I think it's unfair to censor people and their opinions. My pet peeves are bad liars (I don't like liars in general, but when you're bad at it? It's even more annoying.) I'm highly opinionated and I like to talk.
Ok, I am probably doing this wrong lol. Anyhoo, My name is Laura, and to not be confused with the author of "Apathy" I go by Laura B
I love to read but don't have much time to, which is what got me into blogs. I started with Cosmo's Bedroom Blog and have added various blogs to my reading such as my new fav Nothing more than Apathy, I also read fifteen miles to Utopia, The chronicles of Karen, the new blog Macyn, I think that's it.
I love books by Sue Grafton, Patricia Cornwell, James Patterson, Sandra Brown.
I don't watch much TV, I'm very busy with my 12 year daughter and going back to college. I also have an 18 year old son.
Movies I like are typical "girly movies" romantic comedies, I also like suspension, thrillers, even horror.
Hi, My name is Jen and I reside in NS, Canada. I am a stay at home mom of two and home school as well. We are on our 3rd year and loving it.
I started reading blogs about a year ago, and started with Cosmo’s Bedroom Blog. I got a bit fed up with the posting schedule and then other blogs were listed in the comments…so I went off to discover them. Some of my favorites are Nothing More Than Apathy and 15 Miles from Utopia.
I love to read; I will read any writer once and absolutely love murder mysteries. I also like fantasy, love stories, detective, crime investigation etc. Pretty much anything with a good story, I have a tendency to get lost in a good story and not notice grammar/spelling and the like.
Besides reading, I like to watch Criminal Minds, Bones, Numbers, Law & Order, and Law & Order CI. I am in love with my PVR, as I watch while I fold laundry. *smile* As for movies, music and books, I like a bit of everything.
Basically I am a go with the flow person, who only makes waves on issues I feel are important enough to make those waves!
My name is Delia.
I am a female, transitioning from singlehood to coupledom.
I work full time and read blogs when things get a little stressful or slow at work.
I enjoy a pleatra of books. I enjoy british lit like Brigit Jones Diary - the books, Ms. Greene and Jane Austen. I also enjoy murder mysteries like Mary Higgins Clark.

My pet peeves are bad liars (I don't like liars in general, but when you're bad at it? It's even more annoying.) I'm highly opinionated and I like to talk.
Ok, I am probably doing this wrong lol. Anyhoo, My name is Laura, and to not be confused with the author of "Apathy" I go by Laura B
I love to read but don't have much time to, which is what got me into blogs. I started with Cosmo's Bedroom Blog and have added various blogs to my reading such as my new fav Nothing more than Apathy, I also read fifteen miles to Utopia, The chronicles of Karen, the new blog Macyn, I think that's it.
I love books by Sue Grafton, Patricia Cornwell, James Patterson, Sandra Brown.
I don't watch much TV, I'm very busy with my 12 year daughter and going back to college. I also have an 18 year old son.
Movies I like are typical "girly movies" romantic comedies, I also like suspension, thrillers, even horror.
Hi, My name is Jen and I reside in NS, Canada. I am a stay at home mom of two and home school as well. We are on our 3rd year and loving it.
I started reading blogs about a year ago, and started with Cosmo’s Bedroom Blog. I got a bit fed up with the posting schedule and then other blogs were listed in the comments…so I went off to discover them. Some of my favorites are Nothing More Than Apathy and 15 Miles from Utopia.
I love to read; I will read any writer once and absolutely love murder mysteries. I also like fantasy, love stories, detective, crime investigation etc. Pretty much anything with a good story, I have a tendency to get lost in a good story and not notice grammar/spelling and the like.
Besides reading, I like to watch Criminal Minds, Bones, Numbers, Law & Order, and Law & Order CI. I am in love with my PVR, as I watch while I fold laundry. *smile* As for movies, music and books, I like a bit of everything.
Basically I am a go with the flow person, who only makes waves on issues I feel are important enough to make those waves!
My name is Delia.
I am a female, transitioning from singlehood to coupledom.
I work full time and read blogs when things get a little stressful or slow at work.
I enjoy a pleatra of books. I enjoy british lit like Brigit Jones Diary - the books, Ms. Greene and Jane Austen. I also enjoy murder mysteries like Mary Higgins Clark.
