Book Blogger Appreciation Week is upon us and I'm excited to get the chance to participate again this year. I'm especially excited because the theme this year is of creating relationships and community between readers. I think that the relationships that bloggers can develop with one another is one of the absolute best things about blogging :) I'm looking forward to finding some new-to-me blogs this week and making new bloggy friends. The topic for today's post says:"While the awards are a fun part of BBAW, they can never accurately represent the depth and breadth of diversity in the book blogging community. Today you are encouraged to highlight a couple of bloggers that have made book blogging a unique experience for you. They can be your mentors, a blogger that encouraged you to try a different kind of book, opened your eyes to a new issue, made you laugh when you needed it, or left the first comment you ever got on your blog. Stay positive and give back to the people who make the community work for you!"
There are so many AMAZING bloggers that I've met through my blog and events such as these. Unfortunately, I'm a wimp and just cannot single out certain blogs. Because for every blog that I might choose, there are 3 or 4 more that fit in as well. I'm lucky enough to have found multiple blogs that fit my varied reading tastes and moods that I read daily. Instead of singling out blogs, I'm going to thank each and every one of you that visit my blog. That takes the time to comment on my blog or respond back to one of the comments that I have left them. Thank you for listening to me, being patient with me when I needed breaks, and always coming back to visit me again. It is a joy to talk books with all of you and to have people that understand my love of reading. I hope that everyone gets a chance to build new relationships with bloggers this week. If your a lurker, talk to me this week. It may take me awhile to comment back but I always do :) Happy blogging and hope everyone has a wonderful time participating in BBAW!
I cheated and narrowed my love-list through random categories. It's so difficult to choose a handful when you read and love so many blogs!
ReplyDeleteMy list of influential bloggers, if you are interested!
It was hard but I picked 5 of my favorites. But I think my real favorite list is over 100!
ReplyDeleteIt is difficult but some truly add more to the experience.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the week
Ugh--I'm trying not to feel guilty about the blogs that I've left out of my list today. It is hard to narrow them down but I wanted to make mention of those who have been such wonderful companions over the years--you have been a wonderful blogging friend, Sam. :)
ReplyDeleteHope it's a great week for you.
I stuck to my early days.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't narrow it down, either. But really, there are so many fantastic bloggers out there...how could I??
ReplyDeleteMy list could gone forever too!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree - it's so hard to choose! Even if I chose a few each day this week I still wouldn't get to everyone. I guess that's a good thing, though, right? Lots of great bloggers is why we have such an amazing community :)
ReplyDeleteHappy BBAW!
It is hard to narrow it down to just a few blogs ... you like everyone for such different reasons and you feel like you are missing so many that you like just as much.
ReplyDeleteI like BBAW, its such a fun event.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the blogging community is the best.
Your blog is on my top ten list :)
What a great post, Sam! It is hard to single out blogs as favorites, because there are so many good ones that I know of (and many that I don't know of). I hope you enjoy BBAW!
ReplyDeleteI read and enjoy so many blogs that I couldn't list only a few either. They all provide something different, and I love that!
