Recently it has been hot and humid in my neck of the woods….but….NO….that’s not the reason.  I could even say it is a hot flash…but….NO…not that either.  Its that special feeling you get…warm all over….when someone gives you a great big hug!!!  Well….Vicki from Reading At The Beach just gave me a huge hug in the form of an award.  If you follow this blog, you know what I think about Vicki.  She was one of the first bloggers I reached out to for help when I found this wonderful world of book blogging.  I had never seen the word meme, didn’t even know what it was, but Vicki was always there to answer all my questions, even to this day.  I am honored that I can call her “Friend”.  If you haven’t visited, you don’t know what you are missing.  Her reviews are professional,  her postings interesting and her pictures absolutely beautiful.  Take a walk over to her place and say hi!!  This is the award she kindly passed to me:

Dizzy C from DizzyC’s Little Book Blog, which is a great blog I just found from the Friday Blog Hop, was gracious to pass this on.  I received this award a couple of days ago so I won’t bore everyone again.   It amazes me that no matter how many I get,  I get that warm and fuzzy feeling with each one.  What a fantastic feeling knowing that someone really likes my blog.  So thank you Dizzy C.  And if you haven’t visited her, you really should.  She has a wonderful blog!!
