A lot of people have shared their favorite children's and YA literature blogs, offering their rationales for reading them. It's nice to see such variety and enthusiasm for the blogs that have sprung up in the past few years.

I'm wondering if anyone uses the blog reviews of new books in library book selection. Do they influence what you purchase? How do you think blog reviews measure up to reviews from professional review journals?
