It's Book Blogger Appreciation Week!

It's the first day of Book Blogger Appreciation Week! I can't wait to check out everything that's going on and find some great new blogs.

There are so many blogs that I've come to love since I started blogging in January 2010. Many have been mentioned by dozens of you as your favorites as well. Sandy, Jenners, Ana, Trisha, Allie, Jeanne, Jillian, Iris, Enbrethiliel, Nomadreader, Bybee, Carl, Teacher/Learner and Diane.

There are a few other bloggers that I haven't seen mentioned many times and I know that can only be because you guys haven't had the chance to check them out yet. In the past year these blogs (in addition to the many mentioned above) have become a few of my favorites...

Brenna at Literary Musings - We always seem to be reading the same books or have the same reaction to books. I know I can always find good recommendations here.

Ruby at A Thousand Books With Quotes - She reminds me to savor each line, whether it's from an old favorite or new recommendation. I love it.

Kristi at Kristi Loves Books - I love the books she reads and her reviews. Just always worth stopping by.

Cori at Let's eat, Grandpa Let's eat Grandpa! - We have such similar taste in books, it's awesome.

Jillian at Random Ramblings - I love her devotion to all things Potter and the great questions she asks.

Darlyn at Your move, Dickens - Amazing taste, great reviews.

There are so many others that are just awesome. When things in my life get crazy busy, the reason I keep up with this blog is you guys. I love the book blogging community and I'm grateful to be a part of it.

Book Blogger Appreciation Week

I'm new to the book blogging world and because of that I'm also new to Book Blogger Appreciation Week. After reading about it on a dozen blogs I decided to check it out for myself. I'm thrilled I did. It sounds like a lot of fun and a great way to find new blogs.

I decided to compete in the "Best New Book Blog" category. It feels strange to nominate myself, but that's the way they do it. I'm excited to participate because I'd love for more people to find my blog and I can't wait to find more blogs I find to become addicted to.

Here are the posts I'm submitting for consideration...
