BBAW Nomination

I got notification yesterday that I was nominated for a Book Blogger Appreciation Week award. I'm excited, though I think my chances of making the short list are extremely slim. It's such a great honor. The category I am nominated for is Best General Review Blog, described as "This blog doesn’t specialize in any one book genre, but it’s still excellent. Their book reviews usually cause you to add one more book to the TBR pile." How great is that?

The shortlists are due to be announced on September 7th, and I'll be sure to mention it here even if I don't make the list. Congrats to all the other nominees as well, I know who a few of you are and you all completely deserve it. Of my readers here, have any of you been nominated that I don't know about already?

A. Congratulations! I hope you make it. You SUPER dooper deserve it.

B. Did you see I added your Link Me image to my blog?

C. I found out this morning that I was nominated for Best Reviews. I'm so honored and thrilled but (much like you) I'm trying not to get too excited 'cause I'm sure I'm competing with some really amazing bloggers.

Congratulations. I'm nominated for the same category and feel the same way. There are so many GREAT blogs out there. :D It's still an honor even if we don't make the shortlist. Good luck!

Amen Nely! It's such an honor. My heart gets warm just thinking that someone took the time to nominate me. Your site rocks to Nely!

Congrats NotNessie, you deserve to win!!

I've been nominated too but don't know the category yet! There are way more awesome bloggers than me out there but it's such an honor to be nominated :-)

NotNessie said...

Juju- A. Thanks! B. I did, thanks so much for putting it there! C. You totally deserve it, too. I may or may not have been involved in nominating you...

Nely- I agree. Looking at last year's shortlist, I think it's pretty unlikely I'll make it this year, but it's still great that someone took the time to nominate me.

Arielle- You don't know the category? I know I put you in for a nomination, but I can't remember what category now. Shame on me, I know.
