I’m blushing right now because Kerryn has tagged my blog as one that makes her think.
Kudos aside, one of the great things about this is that now I get to tag five blogs that make me think. Here goes:
The Legal Soapbox makes me think about all sorts of things: the law, parenting, the environment, religion, current affairs in Australia … And although Legal Eagle delves into many contentious areas she makes her points clearly, logically and with great honesty and originality. Not willing to get sidetracked by blogosphere debates along party political lines, Legal Eagle even has her own wing.
What We Said is a group blog that has got me engaging with feminism again. Lately Litlove’s made me think (and laugh) about gender roles in the family and Emily’s caused me to reflect on choosing a family name after marriage and children.
This Delicious Solitude: I’m always interested to find out about what Jess has been reading lately and to read her elegant posts on literature. She’s inspired me to start on Cold Mountain, a book I just never got around to reading before.
Whipped whets my appetite for good food. It’s a food blog with its own spin on the genre. Caroline makes me think about food in new ways: a photograph of a cold wintry cemetery scene become visual inspiration for a recipe for cream of asparagus soup. I also get to play would you rather …
3191 is a place I go for a little silence (for sometimes this is what thinking requires) and to appreciate the beauty found in everyday life. Stephanie and Mav live 3191 miles apart and they each photograph an aspect of their mornings. The paired photographs, although unplanned, often resonate in unexpected ways.
Here are the rules of participation for those of you I’ve tagged:
- if, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think
- link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme
- optional: proudly display the ‘Thinking Blogger Award’ logo with a link to the post that you wrote
