I am absolutely terrible at acknowledging awards, and I'm even worse at giving them out. To make up for this a bit, I thought I'd go over the most recent awards I've received.
I received the Prolific Blogger Award from Stacy at
A Novel Source. I have to say that this is one of the most blush-causing awards because of its description: "A Prolific Blogger is one who is intellectually productive, keeping up an active blog with enjoyable content." Now for the five active, intellectual, enjoyable bloggers I want to pass the award on to:
Ana at
Things Mean A Lot
Kim at
Sophisticated Dorkiness
Allie at
Hist-Fic Chick
Jenners at
Find Your Next Book Here
Amy at
Amy Reads

Lost in Books gave me the Happy 101 award. I'm supposed to write 10 things that make me happy, and then pass the award on to ten other bloggers. So stream-of-consciousness on happiness: my family, books, food, sunshine, riding my bike, comments on my blog, babies just learning to walk, Jake Gyllenhaal, Family Guy, and coca-cola. And here are some bloggers that make me happy:

Good Day, Regular People passed on the Best Name for An Award Ever - Master of Karate and Friendship Award. That's right ladies and gentlemen I am Chuck Norris. I think these five bloggers are funky enough to appreciate this most awesome of awards as well:

The Bodacious Award for Blogging Book Reviewers was given to me by both Kayven at
Reading Between Pages and Lisa at
Bibliophiliac. Now, I'm supposed to list the last five books I've read, but if you want to know what I'm reading, you should head over
here. And of course, the five bloggers who I think deserve this award:
Jenny at
Take Me Away
Care at
Care's Online Book Club
C.B. at
Ready When You Are, C.B.
Melissa at
The Betty and Boo Chronicles

Miss Remmers' Reviews gave me the Xxtraordinary Blogger Award which asks me to name one extraordinary thing that has happened to me and then pass the award on to five other bloggers. That is a tough one for some reason. I've had many interesting experiences in my life, but trying to pin down the one extraordinary thing is a bit difficult...something not ordinary.... unusual...err... Once while walking the beach in Mexico, I saw this strange shape on the sand in the distance. Turns out, it was a line of shoes, snaking through the sand, and covering an area about half the size of a football field. People had been leaving their shoes there (and any they found on the beach) for quite some time. A pair of my flip-flops joined the strange conga line that day. I have to say it was a unique experience; somehow more poignant than a line of hundreds of shoes should ever be.

To the many, many wonderful bloggers I read regularly who did not receive an award. I love you too, and everyone gets my famous award....
Thanks so much for the award! I'm not so good at acknowledging them either, mostly because I can't think of how to do so. Like, ten things that make me happy: I couldn't do the one word stream of consciousness thing. I'd have to explain and qualify and it would all get very boring! But thank you - it is wonderful to be on your list, and I love being a Jill bookend, with one of us at each end! :--)
ReplyDeleteI used to be so good at acknowledging and giving awards, but I have fallen down on the duty over the last six months or so. Bad Sandy. Thank you so much for the award...I love it! Karate baby!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. A happy way to start a Sunday morning.
ReplyDeleteAww, thank you! I tend to not put awards up on my site or pass them on (which is bad, I suppose), but I do really appreciate them :)
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for the award, Trisha! I'll post about it in next week's Salon post (since I didn't get it early enough for this week's). Congrats on all your awards!
ReplyDeleteThanks from the other bookend! Can I just cheat and leave my ten things here? Books (of course), a day without wind, cute and comfy shoes, sleep, vacations, browsing in bookstores, lunch with friends, cinnamon dolce lattes, lazy weekends, and my laptop. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for including me! Your blog makes me happy too :)
ReplyDeleteI am AWFUL about giving awards out. I just forget!
Yaaaaay for all your awards, I am bad also. My new goal is to post as soon as I receive them, we will see for future.
ReplyDeleteYou have over 100 followers, congrats.
Oh, thank you so much! I've been called a lot of things, but this might be the first time that bodacious has made the list. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for thinking of me ... but realize that I'm the World's Worst Awards Person so there is no chance this will be acknowledged or passed on other than this comment! : )
ReplyDeleteThanks Trisha!! =)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the awards...and now I am reminded of the awards I have not posted...LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I'll get an awards post up at some point to officially recognize it. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd that shoe conga line is one ODD thing, that's for sure ...
WOW!! humbled, I am. Thank you. I do love the word bodacious. I kiss you back. XOXOXO
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you, lady! This alone made me happy :)
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a lot of very cool awards. I haven;t even seen some of these.
ReplyDeleteThank you for passing one along to me. I'm glad to see it doesn't involve some sort of keeping current rule since I always seem to be about a month behind in mt Reader!
Everyone - You are quite welcome! I love reading your blogs, your comments here, and your emails. :)
ReplyDeleteNot only am I also crap at acknowledging awards, I'm also weeks behind with my feed reader (again? always?). Thanks for the award, though. You and your blogging make me happy, too! =D
ReplyDeleteThank you for the award! You are so sweet! I love your blog and I am so happy you got all these awards. Well-deserved!
