For anyone who hasn't heard yet, The Baltimore Sun is honoring Maryland's Outstanding Blogs this month, with the aptly named Mobbies. (Yes, we're very proud of how clever we are.)

Categories include Foodie, Neighborhood, Politics, Ravens and my personal favorite: Misfits.

There are also a few bookish blogs, whose writers sometimes visit us here, that I thought I'd bring to your attention.

Mobtown Shank, created by Atomic Books owners Benn Ray and Rachel Whang, has been nominated for multiple categories. For you out-of-towners looking for that John Waters flavor, Mobtown Shank is the perfect place to stop by. And if it's just Waters you're looking for, they accept mail for him, too.

Our friend Heather Johnson, who writes Age 30+ ... A Lifetime of Books, has been nominated, as well. If you're not already reading about her adventures in reading, book clubbing and her adorable son, now's the time to start.

And then there's Andrew Hazlett over at The Occasional, who never fails to find the coolest stuff in the world. (Check out this Edward Gorey-esque video he discovered a few days ago.)

And there are plenty more blogs where those came from. So go! Enjoy the reading, do very little work today and tell your boss it's all my fault.

And don't forget to vote.
