The long lists for the 2011 Book Blogger Appreciation Week Awards were posted today. This year there are two different award categories – featured (best written blog, etc.) and niche (best ya book blog, etc.). I was vaguely aware of nominations taking place a few weeks ago but I was super busy and didn’t give it more thought. Then when I received an email informing me that I’d been nominated for Best Written Book Blog I was even more surprised and flattered. The nomination probably made my summer, actually. 
So a big thank you to whomever nominated Book Harbinger! I know my chances are slim for winning because there are so many well-written blogs out there – nominated or not – but it was such a HUGE compliment to be nominated either way and I accepted the nomination more as a way to bring more people to my blog than actually winning.
If anyone else has been out of it (like me) BBAW 2011 runs from September 12 -16. Remembering all the fun I had last year discovering new blogs, learning new blogging tips, and entering giveaways I really can’t wait! I will be participating in as many daily blogging topics as I can and I hope to offer a giveaway this year. Unfortunately I missed the sign-ups for the interview swap so if there is anyone out there who did too and/or would like to be interviewed, please let me know. Thanks again to the awesome person who nominated me! It’s such an honor and I wish all the other nominees good luck.
I was happy to see your blog listed when I saw the long list today. But not surprised. I think your reviews are very well written. Your review of WARM BODIES was particularly amazing. Seriously!
Aww, thanks! *bashful laughter* I guess I should go read that review.
So because I already told Janice that I nominated her, I think it’s safe to announce the same here. Both of you totally deserve it.
Love your blogs.
And I agree, your review of Warm Bodies made me want to read the book even though I’m not a zombie fan.
Oh, thank you! I suspected it was you.
I couldn’t have a better supporter and you know I love your blog too. I hope you do read Warm Bodies – I think a lot of non-zombie fans are picking it up and enjoying it.
That’s great Holly! Congrats!
Thanks Em!
I also missed the deadline for the interview swaps. I was involved last year and it was a great experience. I am available for an interview swap if you are still interested. Let me know.
