I read 7 or 8 author's blogs regularly, with another half dozen I drop in on occasionally. There are 2 or 3 others I would still be reading if they were still blogging - one moved primarily to Facebook, which I don't have a presence on, and others have cut back to spend the time on, y'know, their fiction and/or Real Life, which I understand but I still miss their routine posts.
"Authors whose books I like" and "authors whose blogs I like" overlap by quite a bit but are not the same group. I came to some blogs because I enjoy the author's books and to others through a link and then liked what I saw enough to hang around.
I enjoy reading about writing and the writing life, vignettes of the everyday by someone who knows how to put words together, and sneak peeks at the author's upcoming work. I like some humor but more of the "amusing things in everyday life" and less of the "let me tell you a joke." I like snark that's heavy on wit without crossing into meanness. I enjoy the occasional link to things I wouldn't have seen otherwise.
If I had to pick a favorite, I think I'd have to flip a coin between you and Ursula Vernon.
