Awards Times Three!

I love blogging and I am constantly amazed at the friendship and generosity of the book blogging community. And I can hardly believe I deserve such recognition, but here are the awards I've won in the last couple of weeks:

Jenners over at Find Your Next Book Here gave me this awesome award. Don't you love the button? The award is given "to either newbie blogs or blogs that are new to you." Thanks for discovering my blog, Jenners. I hope you all visit her blog in return. You'll find some great reviews and a super post (with photos) about using a Kindle. Oh, and don't forget to take her poll.

I was twice blessed with this I Love Your Blog award; and on the same day! I can't thank Margot from Joyfully Retired and Robin from My Two Blessing enough. I love both of their blogs and am a daily visitor to each. Don't miss Margot's great feature called Favorite Places, in which she posts some photos and talks about super travel destinations and asks you to join in the fun. Robin's blog contains a variety of posts; one of my favorites is her recent participation in WIP Wednesdays. If don't know what that is, click to her blog and find out.

Yvonne at Socrates' Book Reviews gave me this intellectual-sounding award. Here's what the award is for:

"This blog invests and believes in the PROXIMITY-nearness in space, time and relationships. These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or 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 clever-written text into the body of their award."

Wow! Thanks, Yvonne. I'm thrilled that you would have thought of me. Yvonne's blog is another stop on my daily rounds. She posts great reviews and hosts giveaways, but one thing I really love is all the cat and kitten photos she manages to add to her posts. I'm a cat lover, so checking out the photos is a given.

Thanks everyone! Instead of passing these awards on, I would like to turn them around and ask my readers to be sure to visit each of these blogs. I'm hoping you'll like them as much as I do.
