So, Book Blogger Appreciation Week is over, and to be honest it’s been a blast. I haven’t been blogging long, and this was my first BBAW. It feels like the end of school break and this is where our new year starts. The week has been so much fun, from reading all the daily meme posts to the great and generous giveaways and, of course, lots of book lovin’. I especially enjoyed Natasha’s (Maw Books) post on the BBAW website, about why we blog about books. I found myself nodding…

Today, as part of the Book Bloggers Appreciation Week, I have to write, in 50 words or less, what I like about my blog right now and where I see my blog in a year from now. I like how my blog has developed since I began eleven weeks ago, but there are many changes afoot with regards to design and my blogs focus. The best part of blogging for me is the connection with other bloggers and I just hope that in a years time you are still stopping…

It’s time to get creative! If there’s one thing book bloggers seem to have in common, one bittersweet fact, one troubling but joyous shared burden….it’s the TBR pile. Show us your TBR pile!!! But don’t be all boring about it….get creative! Try to reveal something to us about yourself through your TBR pile…I’m not going to tell you HOW to do that, just that you SHOULD do it because BBAW is all about getting to know one another better! Well, in my case it should actually say ‘TBR Piles’ as…
‘We encourage you to be creative with this! Please choose one or two questions to answer or try to answer all the questions in five words or less. Or choose a picture to answer a question! Brevity is the goal of today!’ 1. Do you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack? Chocolate!!! 2.

Interview Swap Maree from Just Add Books 1. When and why did you start blogging? I started a general blog – Zooblife in November 2005. I can’t remember why I started it now. But it’s my sad, dusty neglected little corner now. I blame Twitter. Then I started Just Add Books in December 2007. Its original intention was to keep track of a personal challenge to read one classic novel a month for a year. It wasn’t long before it expanded into a more general reading / reviewing / rambling…

Today the BBAW nominations went out to over 1,200 blogs that were nominated for various categories. To my utter disbelief Book Chick City was nominated for one and it was: Best New Blog: This new blog seems to have appeared out of nowhere since September of 2008 and has jumped into the book blogging world with both feet. You love their posts and wonder how the book blogging world ever got along without them I am absolutely stunned and completely chuffed! Thank you so much to those of you who…
I started my book blog about seven weeks ago, so I am still very new. I thought it would be a great idea to get involved with BBAW (Book Blogger Appreciation Week). Posted on the BBAW blog by My Friend Amy are three questions for us newbies. So here are the questions and my answers: 1) What has been one of the highlights of blogging for you? Wow, there have been so many highlights since starting this blog, I can’t really chose just one. I’ve ‘met’ some great people who…
The Book Bloggers Appreciation was started by Amy @ My Friend Amy in an effort to recognise the hard work and contribution of book bloggers, in discussing books, authors and a lifestyle of reading. The first Book Blogger Appreciation was introduced Autumn 2008 and takes place every September. The week celebrates active book bloggers through awards (you can vote for your favourite blog) and giveaways. For more information, please visit BBAW.
