BBAW When She Woke Winner

I am pleased to announce that Amy from The House of the Seven Tails is the lucky winner of my hard cover copy of When She Woke by Hillary Jordan! I hope you enjoy the book, Amy! A special thanks to Algonquin Books. Without the generosity they have for book bloggers, I would not have [...]

When She Woke ~ A BBAW Giveaway

Today may be the last day of BBAW, but why be glum? We’ve met new bloggers, gotten to know existing blogging friends better, gotten several wonderful blogging tips and have probably added a million new books to our TBR piles. Well, I’d like to increase one lucky BBAW’s TBR pile before BBAW comes to a [...]

BBAW Interview Adam from Roof Beam Reader

As I mentioned yesterday, I had no idea how much time or energy I would have when BBAW rolled around. When the call for interview partners was sent out, I didn’t sign up. As it happens, Adam from Roof Beam Reader was without an interview partner and I was in the right place at the [...]

Goodbye, BBAW… Hello, New Blogging Year!

It is hard to believe, but BBAW is coming to a close. I want to give a special thanks to all those who made this week possible. (Amy, you are still my Queen!) I’ve met some great new bloggers and felt so much love throughout the week.  I am really looking forward to the year [...]

#200 ~ The Shadow of the Wind

The BBAW theme for today is highlighting a book that you have read based upon the recommendation of a book blog.  As it so happens, one of my favorite books of the summer came highly recommended from all over the book blogging community. Conversations with various people on Twitter prompted me to buy the book, [...]

BBAW Reading Meme

Today is Reading Meme day during BBAW.  This is a much more laid back event, and I must say I’m thankful for that.  Wouldn’t you know that the girls would come down with strep throat this week?  These girls are never sick, so I really won’t complain (too much).  I was home with them yesterday, [...]

BBAW Interview with Confessions of a Book Whore

Smirking Revenge, the blogger behind Confessions of a Book Whore, was on vacation when the BBAW interview announcements were first sent out. So, when I emailed her and sent her the questions, she wasn’t there to get them.  When she got back, she was still interested in partnering, so I had the good fortune to [...]

My BBAW Interview with Violet Crush

Last year I didn’t take advantage of the BBAW interviews and have really regretted it.  It’s a way to get to know another blogger and I can’t for the life of me remember why I didn’t participate.  I was not about to let that happen again, so I added my blog into the hat.  After [...]

Literate Housewife Seal of Approval

Welcome to Book Blogger Appreciation Week! What better way to begin than by highlighting blogs you didn’t see on the BBAW Awards shortlists? Although there are incredible blogs that were shortlisted for the BBAW Awards, many of the blogs I read on a daily basis aren’t on that list. This provided me with a great [...]

BBAW ~ A Cause for Bookish Celebration

When the original nominations for the Book Blogger Appreciation Week awards were announced in August, it was such an exciting time.  To receive even one nomination meant that someone out there thought that your blog was the best in one of the many categories.  I felt proud and happy – not just of my own [...]
