BBAW Short Lists!

Thanks to Marce , I was nominated for the Non-Fiction category (very honored and humbled about it!) However, since I have once again been buried with work (hopefully no more after this week!) I didn't really have time to visit your blogs apart from a few "regular" and those from Thrill Week (btw, check out all the Thrill Week giveaways NOW! Some Ending Very Soon!) So I was very surprised when I read this  post from Kim @ Sophisticated Dorkiness! I am one of the 3 finalists for the Non-Fiction category woohoo!


THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU:)

Kim is also a fellow finalist - congrats! :)

The other nominee is Maphead’s Book Blog.

Thank You!

I just learned that I have been nominated for the Best Non-Fiction Book Blog for the BBAW 2011.

Whoever nominated me - THANK YOU! I feel so humbled!

BBAW - Non-Fiction!

Woohoo, somehow I made the shortlist for BBAW in the Non-Fiction Blog Category - THANK YOU!

I am way behind in reading my Non-Fiction this year (read about 75% NF last year), but I have time yet to catch up! I was aiming for 50-50, but I think I'd end up with more fiction this year, mostly due to YA (they are just much faster to read lol!)
 

Book Blogger Appreciation Week (BBAW)

Even though I didn't start my blog until 1/1/10, I had been reading book blogs for a year or two before that. I'd come across postings about BBAW then and thought it'd be fun to join in sometime in the future. Well, here it is! My first year participating!
