Bodacious Blogging Book Reviewers Award

Thank you to Julia from Dark Glass Ponderings for presenting my book blog with the Bodacious Blogging Book Reviewers Award. The rules are:

If you are given this award you must first accept it by leaving a comment on the post you were nominated on. Then copy and paste the post and add it to your own blog. Make a list of the last five books you read and pass the award on to five other bloggers. Please also identify the blog from which you got the award and don't forget to tell the others that they have a blog award!

1. Thoughts from an Evil Overlord

Isn't It Lovely?

Bella at Bella Reads has kindly presented me with the Lovely Blog Award.


There are the usual rules that go with most awards. I'm to pass it along to 15 Bloggy friends or acquaintances. (Bella gave it to 20!)

However, I'm a rebel and tired. Now that's a wicked combination! So I'll offer this lovely award to anyone who would like to have it and leaves me a comment saying so. I'm justified in doing this as I consider those who leave comments quite lovely indeed!

❤  ♡  ❤  ♡  ❤
Speaking of coments, Robin of My Two Blessings gave me the You Don’t Say? award “to recognize some special bloggers whose comments have made such an impact on me.” The You Don’t Say? award is given to special bloggers in hopes that they will pass the award along to 5-10 of their best commenters! Robin has a gizmo that figured out exactly how many comments I had left on her blog. 
I don't have that gizmo, and I don't know how many comments you have left, so once again, I'll share the lazy way. If you would like this award, leave two comments on this blog and take it! Life is to be enjoyed, and if you are gizmo-less, you should be able to take the easy road.

Fabulous Award

Shannon at Confuzzled Books has given me the Your Blog is Fabulous Award. I’ve had Confuzzled Books on my blog roll for a long time. We met at Booking Through Thursday. Shannon is a lover of books, reviews them, and has a weekly book giveaway. Check her blog out.

The details of this award are simple: just write five things that you are addicted to and name five other blogs to pass it on to. This is a snap for me to accomplish as I did this tag just this past December on my other blog. Woo Hoo, I wish that every award/tag were this simple!

Thank You, Thank you.

Tag, Award, and Meme

Charlotte from Charlotte's Web Log gave me a Bookworm Award Wednesday evening. Later that evening, Robin at There's Always Thyme for... presented me with the exact same award. I love it because I am a bookworm!

Here’s how it goes.

Open the closest book to you, not your favorite or most intellectual book, but the book closest to you at the moment, to page 56.

Write out the fifth sentence, as well as two to five sentences following there.

The book nearest me is: The Rook by Steven James. It a thriller, a Christian fiction like none other. I've finished it and reviewed it. It's sitting on my desktop because it's getting ready to get mailed out to a smart eBay shopper.

page 56:

For the umpteenth time.
With San Diego's dry climate and dense population, the city officials were nervous about any fires--especially with the memory of the Santa Ana winds that caused the devastating fires of 2007 still fresh in their minds.

Pass this on to five blogging friends.


The five people I tag are:

1. Sheri at A Novel Menagerie

2. Dot at Scribbles

3. Carol at Charli and Me

4. Beth at Beth Fish Reads

5. Amy at My Own Little Corner
