Booking through author's blogs

Do you read any author’s blogs? If so, are you looking for information on their next project? On the author personally? Something else?

If I find a new book in the blog world, I do visit the author's blog, if any, to know more about the book. Of course, I also get to read snippets about the author.

I do have many authors on my google reader and follow their posts, even if I don't visit thier blogs. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Neil Gaiman are two the well-known authors I read. The former for her short stories, mostly.

To name just a few, the following authors, I recall following on my google reader but I hardly ever visit them:

Corey Redekop

Mathias B. Freese

*Update: I do visit and comment on the following author's blogs:

Karen Harrington

Susan Helene Gottfried
