Simply Lovely!

What better thing to come home to than being told you have a lovely blog that is "warm, welcoming blog".  My wonderful fellow blogger McGuffy Ann over at McGuffy's Reader was so sweet to have given me the lovely blog award.  I am truly honored.  I am so glad that my blog is getting read by people and it is being enjoyed.  When I started my blog I was worried, worried that no one would care what I read or what I thought about it.  Once I got into the blogging world I found that lots of people care what others think about books they read and what happens in their lives.  I have made many blogging friends and am SO glad I decided to start a book review blog.  I never knew so many people in so many places in the world loved to read as much as I do...or more.  :-)  


To share my award with a few others will only make my getting it better, so I decided to give a shout out to a few of the blogs that I find myself visiting on a daily basis, or whose blogger has touched me in some way.  I want to thank ANY blog I follow and say that I give kudos to each and every one of you for all the work you put into your blog.  In my book you all deserve the Lovely Blogger Award!  


Here are a few of the blogs that are extra special to me:


~McGuffy's Reader  I know she just received and gave this, but I think if there is a "favorite blogger friend" of mine, this wonderful woman is it.  Her blog is always so organized and easy to navigate.  Her love of animals is HUGE for me too.  :-)  When I come online, hers is the first blog I go to check for new posts (which I always love).  She is a very special woman who deserves so much more than a lovely blogger award, but that is where I will start to show my appreciation for her, her blog, her love of animals, her kind nature, and so much more.  


~I Am A Reader Not A Writer for the many author interviews that give me insight into the lives of those that write the books I read and love.  


~Mommy Wants To Read for being the first blog I ever read, that made me think I wanted to start one.  She gave me the direction I needed and answered a LOT of questions I had when I first started.  


~Grab A Book From Our Stack for having such a kind spirit that they donate money to a different cause every month for every legitimate comment they receive.  That is a wonderful thing to do!


~Feeling Beachie for having the sense of humor to share crazy things that happen that happen to all of us, but we don't want to share.  I love the "feel" I get at this blog, makes me feel calm when I visit it and it gives me smiles and laughs too.
