After nine years of literary blogging, interviews, and events, Karen Templer has closed her Readerville website.
The final post ponders the evolution of literary websites over the last nine years, and bids farewell to a dedicated readership. Recently a number of literary bloggers discussed the history of the genre as well–cataloging the different waves of bloggers.
Here’s more from Readerville: “I’ll continue to post about my reading at the new Noting:books and I hope you will too–I still want (need!) to know what you’re all reading. Aside from that, I’ll be blogging at Collapse and Delight, and I’ll still be on Twitter as @karentempler. Gayla’s blog is Beautiful Screaming Lady; she’s on Twitter as @Sophronisba and on Facebook. Lisa’s blog is Mappa Mundi, and she’s on Twitter as @lisapeet1. DG’s blogs are Six DGs of Observation and The Psychopedia, and he’s just joined Twitter. Kat will be continuing the wonderful @new_books feed at Twitter, entirely under her own direction and discretion. And Leah can be found at Twitter and at Facebook.” (Via Laura Miller)
