I have seen this all around the book blogging blogosphere but wasn’t sure what it was all about.  But as more details are coming out, the more I thought that this would be a fun event to participate in.   So I filled out my entry form and now will start spreading the news on this blog.  I am now an official entrant in Blogfest 2010 !!

Yesterday was a very busy day!!!!  All the memes, blog hopping, awards and visiting those blogs that I passed the awards onto.  And because of that, and not having enough coffee, I missed seeing another award until later in the day.  Busy Moms Who Love To Read (busymomswholovetoread.blogspot.com) not only awarded me with the “Great Blog Neighbor Award” but also the Prolific Blogger Award.  Thank you so very much. I will say again, when I am presented with an award, it makes me feel that I am a full fledged member in the book blogging club, and what are great feeling it is.  Again, thank you!!!

Photobucket

The Rules:
Every winner must pass this on to at least seven other deserving prolific bloggers. Spread the love people!
Each Prolific Blogger Award recipient must link back to the blog they received the award from.
And now, am passing this award to:

Before I start with all my Friday memes, I need to thank 3 very kind people.  Yesterday I was presented 2 awards and am honored to receive them.  I take these awards very seriously because it says to me that someone really likes my blog and that they enjoy the content.  Just a few months ago, I didn’t even know that this book blogging world existed and when I am presented with an award, it truly makes me feel that I have been accepted into the neighborhood.  I have said this before but need to reiterate.  One of my book blogging mentors (Vicki from Reading At The Beach) told me that I would be meeting the nicest people in the blogging world and she was so right.  Book bloggers are the kindest, friendliest, helpful people I have come to know.  Now to the awards:

I received this award from Lori at Dollycas’s Thoughts (http://dollycas.blogspot.com/

This startling award was created by Eleni at La Femme Reader.

It signifies all the bloggers out there who constantly work hard to keep an updated and insightful website. They aren’t afraid to take a bite with their honest reviews and enjoyable content. You amaze me, you inspire me so I call you a blog monster.
  I am now going to pass this award to the following:
Julie P from Reading Without Restraint http://.readingwithoutrestraint.blogspot.com

Yesterday I was having one of those “down” days that we all get every now and then.  I went through my usual routine, coffee mug in hand, checking my email, reading all my booking newsletters that I subscribe to.  Every morning I look forward to this routine and it is always enjoyable reading the reviews, adding more titles to my TBR list (even though it will probably take a few lifetimes to read them all), what is going on each person’s blogs, etc, etc.  Having so much on my mind, what I find so much fun every morning, was not happening, I was just going through the motions. I then logged onto my blog and  saw that I needed to moderate comments.  To my surprise, and pleasantly so, I was presented with another award!!  Marce from Tea Time with Marce (http://teawithmarce.blogspot.com/) was so kind to think of me and passing it on.

Because of her thoughtfulness, on a day that started off gloomy, became radiant.  Thank you so much Marce.  If you haven’t visited her, you really should, she has a delightful blog.  Link is above.
Now the criteria……….
This award is to honor and thank bloggers that are kindhearted individuals. I appreciate the regular comments, networking with you and becoming blogging friends.
Rule: Nominate 10 bloggers you feel deserve the Humane Award.
