Reading, Reviewing, Guest Authors, Giveaways and more.
I have been in a reading slump for the past few weeks and I don’t know why but need to get out of it because my review pile is sitting there staring at me!!!
That is what Slapdash Sunday is for!
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.
This past week the fall weather was upon us here in New England but I was feeling warm and fuzzy. I didn’t receive one award. I received 2!!!! Bev from My Reader’s Block presented me with the following awards:

From Danielle’s blog:
We all leave our “footprint” on the world, in one way or another. We each, individually, do something or are someone that makes the world a little better just by being here. I created this weekly meme to get to know the blogging community I love just a bit better. To know what makes them tick, outside of books, that is. Each week I will post a question to be answered in the following week’s “A Bit of Me(Me)”. Check back each Saturday to get the info for next week’s post and link up with your current post right here.
This Weeks Question: Who is a famous person (dead or alive) that you most admire? And why?

Danielle also posts what the following week’s question will be. So last week when I saw the above question, and my answer is the same today, I thought of just one person. To some my answer might be corny or even questionable but it was and is my only answer. I hope I don’t offend anyone with my answer but it was my first thought when I saw the question, it is my belief and feel that this is the only answer for me. So to answer the question: Jesus. I am Catholic and believe that Jesus died for us. He has guided me, and sometimes even carried me, through some very difficult times. For me, there is no one that I admire more.

From An Island Life:
In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.
If you’d like to participate, visit An Island Life answer the question and then post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!
