Booklogged sent me a bit of blogging love today. I enjoyed meeting her last summer as I was popping through Utah… I like putting faces to names, and getting to know people outside of the blogging world. I’d love a chance to meet everyone whose blogs I read; it’s not possible, but I can dream, can’t I?

I don’t know where this originated, but I liked this quote that Booklogged used:

“So, the point (and I do have one) to this post is motivated by my desire to hand some of that love and kindness back around to those who have been so very, very, very good to me in this bloggy world. My hope is that those who receive this award will pass it on to those who have been very, very, very good to them as well. It’s a big kiss, of the chaste platonic kind, from me to you with the underlying ‘thanks’ message implied. I really do appreciate your support and your friendship and yes, your comments. … Mwah!”

So… spreading the love around a bit more:

Amira — she was my first reader and commenter, and even though she doesn’t say much around here, I know she’s still reading, which I really appreciate.

Becky — for giving me support, encouragement, and expanding my TBR list by a ton of books.

Corrine — she’s an awesome woman and, among other things, helps run the on-line bookgroup I belong to, which I totally love. (XOs to all of my Nook friends, too…)

Andi and Heather — for Estella’s Revenge, and giving me an opportunity to write for them.

Erin — for being a super-cool girl. She’s awesome. I hope my kids turn out to be as neat as her.

And for the rest of my readers: THANKS for your comments, your recommendations, and your ideas. You’re awesome!
