A couple of awards were passed on to me today and at first I bit my lip and wondered… oh man do I need some sort of acceptance speech?!?! It turns out no, I do not, but I do need to pass these on to some more awesome blogs. Thank you to those who gave me the nod… It was nice to feel noticed!

First – Kick Ass Blog Awards. I love this, probably just because I love the phrase kick ass.

Thanks go to Danielle at Alpha Reader for this. Rules of the game: Accept this award, add the badge above and post about it on your blog with the name (link) of the person who granted it to you. Name 5 Blogs you think are Kick-Ass and write why. Don’t forget to let them know that you have Awarded them. My awardees:

The Fiction Vixen – We are vixen sisters of sorts and happen to have very similar tastes in books. I always enjoy her reviews and her sense of humor. And we share the kindle love… nuff said.

Smokin Hot Books – another blogger that I seem to share similar book interests with. She is also terribly funny and if you aren’t following her on twitter, you should be. And she managed to work an iphone into her header, automatic cool points.

Book Chick City – I read this blog daily and she comes up with the coolest ideas AND lets the rest of us participate! Not to mention the shades of purple layout makes me happy.

JoJos Book Corner – Half naked tattooed men. Really not much more I need to say.

ParaJunkee’s View – This blog kicks ass for a number of reasons, one of which is her crazy paint shop pro skills. She makes the coolest headers and I have her to thank for mine. On top of that she is an awesome book blogger and I always read her reviews.

Thanks go to Cindy over at Simple Life and Reading for the “Our Lovely Blog” award. Rules: Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award and his or her blog link. Pass the award to 15 other blogs you’ve recently discovered. Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award. With that said, being a new book blogger makes this easy… everyone is just discovered for me lol!
