I have sent an email to those bloggers that I have passed this award to.  I hope they enjoy it as much as I did.  I felt so honored and humble when I received mine yesterday.  Here are those blogs that I have enjoyed visiting, reading reviews, enjoyed the graphics and overall appearance (in no particular order):
  **Pudgy Penguins Perusals
  **Xmas Dolly
  **Peeking Between The Pages
  **So many precious books, so little time

2010 Challenge #10 12x12
Another challenge...I couldn't resist especially since I plan on reading a lot, wanting to get close to or even be able to complete in J.Kaye's Book Blog challenge of 100+, and I found this new challenge from J.Kaye's Blog.
Read a fictional novel every month and a different blog hosts it every month.  Here is the link for this challenge:  http://livebythefoma.blogspot.com/2010/01/national-just-read-more-novels-month.html

The rules are whatever you want to make of them, but here are the guidelines the creator of NaJuReMoNoMo goes by:
The rules are whatever you want to make of them, but here are the guidelines I go by:
Must Be A Novel. Works of fiction only, please. Memoirs, non-fiction, how-to books, and Garfield collections don't count.
Memoirs Aren't Novels. No matter how made up the story, anything ostensibly true isn't a novel. Also known as The James Frey Rule.
Start and Finish in January. I guess if you got some cool books for Christmas, Hanukkah or some other gift-giving event and jumped the gun, you can't be blamed. But I only count books I start and finish within the 31 day window.
Re-reading Doesn't Count. Try something new. Read something by your favorite author or try an entirely new author or tackle that novel you have always wanted to read.
Have Fun. Nobody is grading you or paying you or judging you. Read what you like and like what you read.
