Award Time!! Let's Be Friends

I feel so honored to have received this award from three different and wonderful bloggers! Many thanks to Jane of Fleur Fisher Reads, Ruth of This That and the Other Thing, Cathy of Kittling Books, and Stacey at Word UP!, who all sent me this award - it is so nice to know that I've got bloggy friends out there! :) Ladies - can I send the award right back to you?

I frequently stop by each of these ladies blogs to see which books they have reviewed. I can't tell you how many books I've added to my wish list because of these ladies, and those that I'm about to pass on the award to!

The award says:

“These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.”

Like many other bloggers have said before me, it is so hard to only pick eight people to send this on to. I've got so many bloggy friends!! :)

First let me start by saying that without the help of the following two individuals, I probably wouldn't be blogging. When I knew absolutely nothing about blogging, they were both willing to answer my questions and help me get going!! Tina of Bookshipper was one of the first people I ever contacted, and she was so nice and helpful - thank you Tina! After thanking Tina, I have to take the time to thank Amy of My Friend Amy - on more than one occasion, we have teamed to work on little bloggy projects, and she has helped me with html code questions and other miscellaneous bloggy questions - thanks Amy!!

There are also a few individuals who always leave nice comments on my posts (which makes me feel really good), and they are Kelly of Enroute to Life (by the way, Kelly has been finding some really great giveaways, and she is so nice to share them with the rest of us!!), and Kathy of Bermudaonion's Weblog (who leaves great comments on so many blogs).

Next we have Anna of Diary of an Eccentric and Serena of Savvy Verse and Wit, who have both helped me contribute to my About the Author: Author Interview Index. I absolutely love to see when they add new interviews to the index - they are always great fun to read!

Jenny of Come Meet AusJenny is another blogger who has been very nice and supportive. I don't recall exactly how I met her, but I have a feeling it was as a result of participating in FIRST WildCard Tours - I always love reading her reviews and checking in on what is going on in her world over in Australia!

And finally, I'd like to acknowledge Michele of A Reader's Respite, who is one of the first bloggers I've chatted with who lives in the same general area I do - it is so nice to know that there are other bloggers in my area!

So - to recap - I'm sending this award out to (wish I had the time to triple up this award as I really do have many other bloggy friends I'd like to include!):

Tina of Bookshipper
Amy of My Friend Amy
Kelly of Enroute to Life
