Hands down, the biggest thrill is to get a letter from a kid saying, I loved your book. Will you write me another one?
Books are fun to read and write about. Even bad books can be useful (e.g “fun to bash”).
So thank you, Cricketmuse, for acknowledging my book blog and nominating me for the Booker Award, an award for blogs whose content are at least 50% about books (reading and writing are okay too.) The Cricketmuse blogs about books and other observations. I chuckled while reading her post about people watching at the airport. (Who doesn’t love doing that?)
RULES
1. Nominate other blogs (they say between 5-10), but nominate as many or as few as you want. Don’t forget to let your recipients know.
2. Post the Booker Award picture.
3. Share your top 5 books of all time. EEEEEK! (See below on how I will fudge on this rule.)
It’s hard enough to choose nominees, but how do I limit myself to five books? I’ll do so with this disclaimer: My list of top five books are not really the top five books I have ever read but are only five books amongst my favorite books of all time.
TOP FIVE BOOKS (In No Particular Order)
1. The Bible. (I haven’t read it all, but that doesn’t mean it’s not at the top of my list).
2. The Chronicles of Narnia (by C.S. Lewis).
3. The Harry Potter Series (by J.K. Rowling)
4. The Belgariad and Mallorean Series (by David Eddings)
5. The Alchemist (by Paulo Coelho)
(And yes, I know I kind of cheated because I included three series. I’m sneaky that way.)
Nominations (Pass award on to 5-10 other book blogs)
My Seryniti ~ Life, Death and the Guilty Pleasures Between
Word By Word ~ Books I’ve Enjoyed, Journeys I’ve Loved, Places that Inspire
The Book Bimbo Chronicles ~ 100 Books in a Year For Charity
A.J. Jenner ~ Pencil Pushing Ponderer
Bundle of Books ~ Thoughts from a Bookworm
Another Shout-Out.
Thanks also to the following bloggers for the following nominations:
Book Bimbo for nominating me for the Reader Appreciation Award and
Easyondeyes for nominating me for One Lovely Blog Award.
I’ve already accepted these awards, so I won’t do another blog post about them. If you love books (peppered with other observations), you’ll want to have a visit.
Thank you all for following and reading. Happy page turning!
Yes, that quote is definitely something all writers would love to hear.
Book Boosters blog on (and on)! 🙂 Thanks for being such great promoter of books, and thanks for heads up towards a couple of book bloggers I was up until now unaware of.
Blue Skies,
CricketMuse

Thanks for the nomination and congratulations on yours. I just did a shout out to the Chronicles of Narnia in my last post. Love that series!.
Congratulations and thank you for the nomination. Totally understand the not-repeating awards! 😀
Thanks Easyondeyes!
Oooh, interesting rules! There are three I know in my top 5 straight away, but rounding it off to 5? Hmmmm. This will be tricky! Thanks again 🙂
It was pretty hard just leaving it to 5, but then again, I didn’t actually follow the rules, did I? 🙂
I’ve only just come across your blog, but this post has already led me on to finding lots of other cool bookish bloggers, so thanks for posting!
I’m off to check out more of your blog now 🙂
That’s so kind of you to comment. I’m glad you found your way here and enjoy looking around. 🙂
Thank you so much! And, lookie! More blogs to stalk!
But five? Just..five? What about all the other beauties? 😦
I know. {sigh} I’ll be interested to see which 5 you choose though . . . 🙂
Congratulations on another award! And thanks sooo much for choosing me! 😀 I particularly like this award because it’s so bookish!
I know! Bookish awards are great. 🙂
Congrats on the award and thanks for nominating some of my favourites. 🙂
Oooh, thank you for stopping by!
Congrats on your award! I love reading your reviews and visiting your blog, well done, and thank you kindly for the nomination.
Thank you for the nomination! I’ve just gotten back from a camping trip, so I’ll do my post on this a little later on 🙂
How wonderful! Looking forward to your post. 🙂
