My first blog award-thing!!

Many, many thanks to Chartroose for awarding me with this!  I feel so special and loved. :)   I truly appreciate the kind words, especially coming from such a wonderful blogger as you.

Of course I can not resist the opportunity to pass this one on and highlight some other bloggers who I love.  Without further ado…

Trish from Hey Lady! Whatcha Readin’? – Trish and I have eerily similar taste in books, so I always appreciate hearing her take on anything I’ve read or plan to read.  Plus, I am entertained by her comments and observations of the world every single solitary time I visit her blog.  Love that!

Dewey from The Hidden Side of a Leaf - Dewey might just be the most well-known and popular book blogger EVAR, and with good reason.  She writes insightful, thorough reviews of books that a lot of people enjoy, and she comes up with amazing ideas such as Weekly Geeks.  She’s also recently undertook the immense responsibility of hosting the 24-hour Readathon, which I’m completely in awe of her for.  I REALLY wanted to participate, but I had to be at work for over half the 24-hour period this time.  I’m definitely planning to participate next time, though.

Natasha from Maw Books Blog – Natasha is another super popular blogger, and again, there’s good reason for that.  Her reviews are always awesome, she is one of the nicest people I’ve had the priviliege to meet (online of course, not in person), and she really takes the time to get to know each and every person who visits her blog.  She even puts out a list every month of every single person who visited her blog that month!  It’s the sweetest thing ever, everyone appreciates being featuered on someone else’s blog!

Raych at books i done read – This girl freaking cracks me up.  Every single review she writes is hilarious, snarky, and altogether awesome.  Plus, she’s really critical in a good way – she’s not going to sugarcoat anything; if she didn’t like a book, she will not hold back on telling us why.  I personally have a harder time being critical, so I really appreciate this quality in other bloggers.

Julia at Hooked on Houses – This is a non-books blog, and it is simply amazing.  The blog is dedicated to all things house related – decorating, real estate, tours, TV shows that deal with houses (such as Flipping Out), and so much more.  I love all the different homes and ideas Julia features on her blog, and to top it off, she’s SO nice too.  She always replies every time I comment on her blog (which I don’t do often enough for any of you, I’m sorry to say… I’m not the best commenter).

Thanks to all of you for making my blogging experience so enjoyable. :)   And thanks again, Chartroose!!!
