Bio: I am a cultural concoction: a mix of German, Ecuadorian and Panamanian influences. I work in publishing, love books and have somehow ended up living in Bristol (via London). Cultural Constellations is a navigational tool for all things thrust in our faces on a daily basis: newspapers, radio, TV, films, music, books, exhibitions, et cetera. It is an attempt to filter the best and most interesting bits and talk about them here. More than anything, though, it’s about books, book publishing, bookshops and reading. Oh, and books. I am also interested in the potential of social networking for connecting people and consider myself an advocate for anything digital.

Genre: There is no genre I don't like but literary fiction by lesser known authors is what I really enjoy. Anything subversive, political and especially by independent publishers is right up my street. I also write a column for www.ransomnoted.com which is particularly well suited for any London based books.

Blog/Review name: Iris on Books

URL: http://irisonbooks.wordpress.com

Twitter: @irisonbooks

Genre: At Iris on Books I share my thoughts on any books I read and try to share discussion posts on book-related topics. I write about a variety of books, mostly classics, contemporary literary fiction, books written by women and YA. My focus is mainly European fiction, but I am trying to broaden my tastes with more world literature. I also occasionally read non-fiction, but as I am a student and have to read a lot of non-fiction as course literature, I prefer reading fiction for pleasure.

Genre: I like to think that I am a fairly eclectic blogger, although I do have periods in which I read specific genres. This autumn (2010) I focus mainly on classics for example. In general I enjoy classics, literary fiction, books by women and YA. I often read European fiction (including the UK), but I am trying to read more world literature as well.

 Bio: Jungla is a collection of short, impartial book reviews for all genres of fiction, literature and many non-fiction books too. All reviews are user-submitted, and less than 300 characters (or 60-70 words). We keep our book reviews short and sweet so that a reader can make a quick decision about whether to read the book. We keep information about plot to a minimum, so as not to spoil the surprise for the reader. Instead we focus on genre, setting and style. We don't link to any affiliate sites, so there's no risk of a duff or biased review.

Genre: No specific genre - we've recently written book reviews for Shelley's Frankenstein, Irvine Welsh's Porno, Thompson's Merchants of Culture, Zafon's The Shadow of the Wind and Bertrand Russell's Power. It's an eclectic mix.

Blog/Review name: Pavarti's Beautful Books

Twitter: @PavartiDevi

Bio: The personal blog of Pavarti Devi is dedicated to the things that strike my fancy. You will find book reviews, notes to writers, unfocused musings and a personal look at life with a child on the Autism Spectrum. I am a lover of books and literature as well as a demanding critique. I am always looking for new and interesting stories that offer something unexpected. All genres are welcome and I look solely for a well crafted, expertly executed yarn that I can become entangled in. Throughout history literature and the art of story-telling has influenced politics, religion and culture. The power of the epic tale is universal. Why is it that those who never read The Iliad know Helen of Troy? Her story, Homer’s story, transcends the written word and has become a part of our human lexicon. I am interested in that process and what it tells us about human emotion and cultural evolution. The power of the written word is undeniable and I am honored to be part of the next wave of literary revolution. I review what interests me, not what may be considered cannon and regardless of how the work was published.

Genre: I prefer novels/shorts focused toward an adult readership. By this I don't necessarily mean erotica/horror, although those genres are fine, but want stories that are complete without holding back to meet standards considered acceptable for YA readers.

Genre: Science fiction romance and all of its sub-subgenres, including space opera, military SF, steampunk, near-future, cyberpunk, superhuman, etc. Basically, I cover anything from romantic SF to erotic sci-fi romance. I prefer to blog about science fiction romances wherein the romance has a Happily Ever After, or a Happily For Now ending.

Blog/Review name: The Happy Viewer

URL: http://happy-booker.blogspot.com

Twitter: @Donna224

Bio: The Happy Booker is a fantasy based book review blog. Mainly focusing on epic, urban, and dark fantasy but I also enjoy dystopian, southern gothic, horror-fantasy, Fairytale fantasy, Historical fantasy. I also enjoy some element of romance with my fantasy but have found that most "paranormal romance" novels are not much to my taste. I love to escape to a completely different world in the books that I read, becoming so invested in the story that I laugh and cry along with the characters. I don't require a HEA, sometimes a book makes more sense without one. And I do tend to like my fantasy on the dark side which doesn't always lead to a HEA.

Genre: Fantasy: Epic, sword & sorcery, steampunk, dystopian, urban, dark, horror/fantasy, romantic fantasy, southern gothic, fairytale-retelling. My favorite authors include: JK Rowling Stacia Kane Marion Zimmer Bradley Neil Gaiman Clive Barker Dean Koontz Maria V. Snyder Anne Bishop George RR Martin Robin Hobb Brandon Sanderson Tad Williams RA Salvatore Mercedes Lackey CL Wilson Elizabeth Haydon Piers Anthony

Blog/Review name: The Word Hoarder

URL: www.wordhoarder.wordpress.com

Twitter: @RichRennicks

Bio: I usually write about the book industry or write more-comprehensive posts about authors or trends, rather than individual book reviews. My audience is usually pretty industry heavy, as I've very active on Twitter. I am a huge fan of British & Irish fiction and history, so I tend to write more about that than US authors. I feel I'm writing for a mainly-US audience. The main search terms that bring visitors to my site tend to be industry specific (ebooks, social media, bookstore, etc.) but almost every day someone finds the site by searching for Lawrence or Gerald Durrell, both of whom I adore and have written about more than once.

Genre: I read and write about middle grade and YA fiction (I am also an author), as well as British and Irish literature and history. If I had my druthers, I'd spend my time reading and writing about Virginia Woolf, the Durrell Brothers and Salman Rushdie.

Blog/Review name: Wildmoobooks

URL: http://wildmoobooks.blogspot.com

Twitter: @ChrisWolak 

Bio: I blog about books and authors I’ve enjoyed and/or have been challenged by.  I no longer finish a book that doesn’t engage me in some way—if it doesn’t grab me within 50-100 pages, it goes in the give-away box, set free for someone who’ll find it and maybe love it.   I prefer to call myself a book recommender rather than a reviewer because I have no standard critique structure that I follow or rating scale.  Similar to a conversation with a friend, I like to write about why I chose to read a particular book, why I liked it, what I learned, and what it may lead me to next.

Genre: I'm an eclectic reader.  When it comes to fiction I lean towards literary fiction, mystery/thriller/crime novels, and literature in translation.  I'd like to be exposed to more German, Canadian, Australian, and UK writers.  In the nonfiction category I do read history, military, and some memoir.  I don't read religious or political books, and I usually shy away from books about animals and children.
