August Awards!

I have received many kind awards this month! I have been a bit backed up by work so I am just now posting these awards. Thank-you very much for the awards and for reading and enjoing my blog! I love doing it and I love reading all of your blogs too! In fact, it seems like I received an award from most of my favorite blogs. Very cool to know that you guys are reading and enjoying my blog too!



I'm passing these awards on to a lot of blogs that I read, love, and enjoy. I'm sorry if I award someone an award they already received. Know that it's only because you have a truly excellent blog! I tried to make sure that didn't happen, but know it probably did! I also may give some people a couple of different awards for different reasons!

First a thanks to Heather at Gofita's Pages for the B-I-N-G-O Award. I first found Heather's blog after joining the Everything Austen Challenge, and I find myself reading it quite often these days!



This award was started by Bookin With BINGO and here are the rules: This "B-I-N-G-O" Beautiful Blog Award means that this blog is:

B: Beautiful- The Book Addict (I love the Cat!)

I: Informative- Trish's Reading Nook

N: Neighborly- Miss Remmer's Reviews

G: Gorgeous- Peeking Between the Pages

O: Outstanding- Laurel Ann at Austenprose


Thanks to Lit and Life for the Heartfelt Award. I love the book reviews on Lit and Life. She seems to read a lot of the type of books I enjoy and has insightful reviews.



Do you reach for a cup of cocoa or tea when your relaxing, seeking comfort, sharing a plate of cookies with family and friends? You know the feeling you get when you drink a yummy cup of cocoa, tea, or a hot toddy? That is what the Heartfelt Award is all about, feeling warm inside.

The Rules for the Heartfelt Award are:

1) Put the logo on your blog/post.

2) Nominate up to 9 blogs which make you feel comfy or warm inside.

3) Be sure to link to your nominees within your post.

4) Let them know that they have been nominated by commenting on their blog.

5) Remember to link to the person from whom you received your award.

Celia from The Adventures of Cecelia Bedelia also gave me this award. This is another great blog that I just found this summer and really enjoy reading!





"I am now going to pass on this award to eight other friendly blogging type people, who comment, host challenges, and follow my blog. Congratulations, and display your award with pride!

Here is the description of the award:

"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."Here are my five sites. Hope you enjoy them!
