Blurb is a half hour Australian television show about books. Produced through the community access production house RMITV, Blurb aired on Channel 31 Melbourne in late 2007. With a tagline of "A New Way to Look at Books" the structure of the show is based on the notion that readers read in order to better understand the world.

Blurb is structured so the hosts Misha Adair and Natasha Ludowyk can explore explore new and old literature in a variety of ways; first through review, further by teasing out the issues through discussion and then through pre-taped segments which explore the themes or history behind the book.

Guests on Blurb include a number of prominent Australian authors, directors and artists including author John Marsden (writer), Phil La Marche, artist Gail Stiffe, publisher George Dunford and Melbourne Writers Festival director Rosemary Cameron.
