Trish at Library Queue (and Nooky friend extraordinaire), gave me this award. Sigh. I appreciate getting the award — who doesn’t want to know they’re loved — but the problem then becomes the passing on of it. See, I only read and comment (only occasionally, I know) on blogs that I love. Really. Especially recently, when I decided that I really needed to pare back my blogging time, mostly because A and K are demanding more of my attention, and I’ve been feeling guilty that my online world is seeming, to them, to be more important than they are. What I really wish I could do was put up my bloglines and say if you’re on it, I love your blog, and thanks so much for making my world a better place. (And giving me tons and tons of awesome book recommendations and other sanity-saving moments.) (Also it seems I can’t do one of these awards without much guilt and explanations, mostly so no one who reads this will feel too bad that they aren’t in the link list below.)

All that said, here are the rules:
1) Add the logo of the award to your blog 2) Add a link to the person who awarded it to you 3) Nominate at least 7 other blogs 4) Add links to those blogs on your blog 5) Leave a message for your nominees on their blogs!

And my bloglove goes to (trying not to double up):
