• Well, Golly Gee, Thanks!

    I was so honored to be nominated for the BBAW Awards this year …

    Oh wait. That’s right. I nominated myself! : )

    But, when I received this graphic from Nicole at Linus’s Blanket yesterday, I felt very very honored that this blog made the short list for Best Eclectic Book Blog.

    My competition fellow nominees include:

    eclectic/eccentric (Hi Trisha!)
    write meg!
    STACKED
    Iris on Books
    Truth, Beauty, Freedom, and Books (Hi Heidenkind!)
    Devourer of Books

    To be honest, I’m amazed that I made it through to the short list. There were a gazillion blogs in this category. (I know this because they had all nominees in the category vote for their top five from all the nominees. I spent almost an entire week visiting all the nominated blogs; it was very very very difficult to narrow it down to just five, and my blogroll grew quite a bit during the process.)

    The voting is going on right now so if you truly feel that you can give this blog your vote, I would very much appreciate it. But it honestly feels good just to make the short list.

    Thanks so much for everyone who voted for this blog along the way!!!

      I loved your line about nominating yourself–the whole process is so weird, but you have now defused reading about it for me. Congratulations, and as Sally Field said, "we love you!"

      I'm not at all surprised you made it! Now the tough part is that we all have to vote when there are so many good blogs in that category. Agh!
