It is a great blog. And has the proper attitude to the sillier conventions of the genre, IMO.

Absolutely--one of my favorite bits is the semi-regular cover snarking.

Me either. I'm with you--just discovered it through Ginmar's LJ, and boy is it fun to read.

The Fix, although it's not really a blog, I think.

Limyaael's blog (http://limyaael.insanejournal.com/) has book reviews and critical essays about fantasy tropes. She hasn't updated in a while, but there's a very, very large archive.

Eve's Alexandria - a group blog focusing on book reviews, both genre and non-genre.

Mumpsimus - mostly genre, and often shading into criticism rather than reviews.

Torque Control - editorial blog for the BSFA journal Vector, not exclusively review-oriented but often featuring them.

Strange Horizons reviews - not a blog, but one of my favorite sources for online genre criticism (full disclosure: I review for them).

Shameless self-promotion: I review books on my own blog, though I write about film and TV just as often.

My own booklog, at which I've been reviewing since 2001. Whether it's good or not I'll leave to others to determine.
