News & Grammar Bit #2.

I’ve been passed along the Versatile Blogger Award again! Many thanks to Jill, from Nymfaux, and Danya at A Tapestry of Words! Be sure to check out their blogs.

You can check out my original Versatile Blogger Award post here.

In other news, Trisha at Trisha’s Book Blog has started a weekly post, titled Link Your Reviews. It’s a new, collective way to see reviews that you might have missed. If you follow a lot of blogs, you know how difficult it is to keep track of each and every posted review passing through your Blog Updates. So Trisha’s weekly Linky allows any blogger to add any of their reviews so fellow bloggers can stop by, scan the list, and find a review for exactly what they’re looking for.

There’s a few reviews already posted, including one of my own, but Link Your Reviews needs more promotion, so stop by!

Lastly, I’ll leave you with a Grammar Bit!

The Versatile Blogger Award.




Many, many thanks to Down The Rabbit Hole for passing along the Versatile Blogger Award to my blog!


This award comes with some strings attached:

1. Thank the person who gave you the reward and link back to them in your post.
2. Share seven things about yourself.
3. Pass the award to 15 recently discovered blogs.
4. Contact the bloggers to let them know about the reward.


----------------------------------------------------------


Seven things about me:

1. I absolutely love to watch cooking shows – especially on Food Network. All the time. Any time. I’m not much of a cook, but I try. I prefer to be a taste-tester.

2. I love to travel. Some day I hope to study abroad in London. I’d also love to visit Italy, Paris and Greece.

3. I hate the heat. If there’s one season I favor, it’s Winter. I’ll take freezing cold and snow over humidity and heat any day.

4. Coffee. I can’t get enough of it! I can’t imagine ever giving it up.

5. Videogames. Enough said.

6. I dislike parting from my books, so I buy every one I read.

7. I dislike re-reading books.

----------------------------------------------------------


I’ll be passing this award to the following blogs listed. Unfortunately, I haven’t discovered enough new blogs that have yet to be given this award, and hopefully none of these are repeats! Either way, they're great blogs that you should check out.

1. Bibliophilic Monologues.
2. Bookworm Boulevard.
3. Chapters.
4. Girl In Between.
5. No Rest for the Wicked.
6. Read Sam, Read!
7. The Book Girl.
