Books Features

Dating back to the dawn of bloggy man, 2002, Blogcritics.org has been not only a place to read great individual reviews, essays, interviews, and news stories, but also a place that accurately reflects the mind of the greater blogosphere. As a voluntary collective of self-motivated writers, WHAT, HOW, and with what INTENSITY BC writers choose to cover a given film, TV show, album, or world event is a revealing synecdoche of the blogging whole. In addition to gathering together in one convenient spot all of our coverage on enveloping topics such as Michael Jackson’s untimely death or the ’08 Presidential election, Blogcritics Features are also ongoing columns on such topics as new album, book, and iPhone app releases, movie box office reports, TV show coverage, or live theater reviews, to name but a few. So take a plunge into Blogcritics Features — the reading is great!
