Awards

You're too kind people!

I have received some very nice awards lately. I really, really intend to pass them on as soon as I get them but obviously that doesn't always happen. That doesn't make them any less important to me. Since I started blogging last year (with no idea what I was doing) I've been lucky enough to meet so many great people and learn so many amazing things. I am grateful to each and every one of you who take the time to visit my blog. I have such a hard time choosing only a few people to pass these on to. I sincerely think everyone is deserving but these are some special acknowledgments.

The Heartfelt Award

This is one of the cutest darn awards ever and it came from Kaye at Pudgy Penguin Perusals and all of her adorable and talented penguins.

Literary Blog Award

Another beautiful award and this one comes from Wendy at Wendy's Blogging Spot and The Kool-Aid Mom at In The Shadow of Mt. TBR. Isn't it the perfect setting for curling up with a good book?

The Literary Blogger Award acknowledges bloggers who energize & inspire reading by going the extra mile. These amazing bloggers make reading fun & enhance the delight of reading!

The Rules:
1) Put the logo on your blog/post.
2) Nominate up to 9 blogs.
3) Be sure to link to your nominees within your post.
4) Let them know that they have been nominated by commenting on their blog.
5) Remember to link to the person from whom you received your award.

I really think this award should go to every book blogger out there but I'll name just a few instead.

- Kaye of Pudgy Penguin Perusals is my biggest inspiration to keep on keeping on.
- PopinFresh of Popin's Lair always has such good books and a great contest list. It's a fun place to be!
- As a teen and tween librarian and a new bride the GreenBeanTeenQueen is always energizing and inspirational!
- Bingo at Bookin' with Bingo has created an amazing blog in such a short amount of time. I can't even imagine what she will be able to do now that she's retired!

Bloggers who provide a service too:
- The ladies at West of Mars provide a very valuable service with their ongoing list of the many contests on the blogs. Love the new site!
- Marcia at The Printed Page gives us two fun memes that I always enjoy participating in - Mailbox Monday and Cover Attractions.
- Janet has another meme that provides lots of entertainment - Friday Fill-ins.

Angel On My Blog Award

This is a special treat that also comes from Wendy's Minding Spot.

There are no rules for this one other than to share, share, share!

I'm leaving this one open to everyone and anyone. It's meant to be enjoyed! (Yowza!) But I think that The Kool-Aid Mom at In the Shadow of Mt. TBR has the best sense of humor and will especially enjoy it!
