Slapdash Sunday is a day for your proverbial week ‘leftovers.’ Is there something you wanted to say, but just forgot? Is there something you want to write about, but isn’t worth a whole page? Do you have a random thought, funny or otherwise that needs to be written down?
That is what Slapdash Sunday is for!

Yesterday I started loading some, just 3 boxes lol, of my books into my new bookcase.  I knew how I wanted some of the shelves organized, but not sure of the other shelves.  I put my review tbr books in order on the 1st shelf along with my signed copies (which I am proud of).  The next shelf was for the books that I have won since blogging but haven’t read yet, along with my dark ages dictionary…..yes I know…there are dictionaries online but this may be an antique since its from my school days lol and a few personal favorites.  Then I got to the 3rd shelf and  had this moment:

Today’s Topic:  AWARDS
  Since I received 2 more awards this past week, it got me thinking……

  I honestly get that warm and fuzzy feeling with each award.  I still get excited when someone leaves that comment to visit their blog because an award is waiting for me.  I think it is a great honor when a peer presents an award.  Or maybe its just me, because I still am amazed, that people actually read and enjoy my blog.   Or maybe its because this time last year, I didn’t even realize that this world existed. Or maybe its because I am still having so much fun as I did when I joined my first challenge and participated in my first meme (had to google what a meme was because I had no idea). 
  I know that receiving and then passing on an award takes up a bit of time but in my opinion, it’s worth it.  I respect that some bloggers have a “no award policy” and I do honor that request.  However, I do wonder why that is.
  What are your thoughts on receiving awards?  Do you accept awards?  Or do you have a “no award policy” and why?  Would love to hear what you think.  Let’s have a Slapdash Discussion.

Did you hear about this? Was in the news a couple of weeks ago.  PA wants to charge fees for those residents that have a blog!!!

   The city of Philadelphia wants bloggers to pay $300 for a business license, even if they haven’t made any money from their work. To put it mildly, this is probably not the best way to attract members of the creative class. It also seems like a good example of what happens when you take laws that were meant to apply to street peddlers and apply them to people who “work in” Philadelphia in only the least important sense of the phrase. Philly’s excellent City Paper reports: See complete article here.

I believe the majority of the book blogging community make $0.00 from their blogs. It is done mainly as a hobby and to connect with others that love to read. Personally, I would be torn. Would you continue blogging if a fee were to become mandatory? Would you be willing to pay? If so, how much?
