Red carpet time...

... meaning it's time for an award!

Wendy @ Wendy's Minding Spot has given me the Humane Award. Thanks, Wendy! Eleni @ /-LA FEMME READERS-/ made this award & here is what she said about it:

"I made the Humane Award in order to honor certain bloggers that I feel are kindhearted individuals. They regularly take part in my blog and always leave the sweetest comments. If it wasn't for them, my site would just be an ordinary book review blog. Their blogs are also amazing and are tastefully done on a daily basis. I thank them and look forward to our growing friendships through the blog world."

Awww... I love it! I would like to pass this award along to a few bloggers who I feel represent everything The Humane Award stands for:

Tina @ FANTASTIC BOOK REVIEW For consistently producing truly fantastic content, giveaways, and interaction with her readers.

Kristi aka The Story Siren For being the patron saint of new and not-so-new book bloggers with her posts about blogging tips and tricks.

Juju @ Tales of Whimsy Juju is a friend from Shelfari who has been the best, most consistent commenter I have. I love her! She is my inspiration to become a better commenter. Juju recently started her own blog. She hasn't been at this long, so get over there and become a follower so you'll have a chance to say "I knew her when..."

Arielle @ Bookatopia Another Shelfari friend whose blog I am becoming a fan of! Go to check out her reviews, or even just to look at her beautiful blog layout - so jealous.

Angie @ Angieville for her thoughtful posts, awesome book recommendations, comment interaction and beautiful blog header. So that last one doesn't have much to do with the human award- so what!?

Jo @ Ink and Paper for her blogger interviews, networking capabilities and willingness to share SEO wisdom.

Shalonda @ Shalonda's Blog for her entertaining reviews and vlogs.

As always, don't feel pressure to pass this along- I will be thrilled if you do, but I know you're busy! I just want you to know I think you're all fantastic.

I also recieved the Lemonade Award from Jessica @ Shut Up I'm Reading Thanks Jessica! I appreciate it. I've seen this award making the rounds for a while, so I'm not going to pass it on, but you should all go have a look at Jessica's blog.
