Awards Round up

I have received these lovely awards over the summer. My apologies for my lateness in posting these. It has been wild summer.


Thanks to Wanda of A Season to Read!

This is what she said: "Five blogs and their authors that continually keep me coming back for more."


A Season to Read
and Wanda keeps me coming back for more, so the feeling is mutual. Go check her out!

Thanks to Yvonne of Socrates' Book Reviews!

This award means my blog is:
B: Beautiful
I: Informative
N: Neighborly
G: Gorgeous
O: Outstanding

Wow, what an honour. If you haven't visited Yvonne of
Socrates' Book Reviews, what are you waiting for? Your in for a treat.

Thanks to Julie of Julie's Jewels!

Eleni @ /-LA FEMME READERS-/ made this award & here is what she said about this special award:

"I made the Humane Award in order to honor certain bloggers that I feel are kindhearted individuals. They regularly take part in my blog and always leave the sweetest comments. If it wasn't for them, my site would just be an ordinary book review blog. Their blogs are also amazing and are tastefully done on a daily basis. I thank them and look forward to our growing friendships through the blog world."

Thanks to Linda of Bambi Reads!

Here's what she said:

"I'm new to book blogging, therefore so many book bloggers are new to me, but I can only choose 10. =( I find many of them are deserving of an award and even though some may have this award already), I'll nominate them still."

Thanks to Michelle of Master Musings by Michelle!

Here's what she said:

I've got to give a shout-out to my favorite bloggers, the ones who got me started on this and encouraged me and provided me support when I was just starting out (okay, I'm still a blogging newbie compared to them, but I'm getting better).

Your doing a great job Michelle! You go girl!

Thanks to Kristi of Books and Needlepoint for this award!

Zombie Chicken Award

Desert rose of The Desert Rose Booklogue gave me this award. Thank you so much!

This is what this award is about..

"The blogger who receives this award believes in the Tao of the zombie chicken - excellence, grace and persistence in all situations, even in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. These amazing bloggers regularly produce content so remarkable that their readers would brave a raving pack of zombie chickens just to be able to read their inspiring words. As a recipient of this world-renowned award, you now have the task of passing it on to at least 5 other worthy bloggers. Do not risk the wrath of the zombie chickens by choosing unwisely or not choosing at all..."

This one has been going around for awhile and as many of you know, I am taking a lot of short cuts right now due to injuries. Therefore, I am risking the wrath of the zombie chickens. I don't think I'm too much at rick though, since I am a vegan. LOL!

Many of you are extremely worthy of this award too!
