Whew, I like collecting a couple awards before posting, but that usually leads me to forget about some that I've been awarded a while ago! Please tell me if I forget one you gave me, and don't be offended? Because I love each and every one of them, I do.

Anyways, I'm starting off again with the One Lovely Blog Award. I've been awarded this one by Lucy over at Delightful Reviews, though I've had this one about 5 times already, lol! Thank you, and it's good that bloggers are constantly discovering new blogs.

Four Awards -- What?!

My first time actually posting four awards, not because I'm super awesome like that, but because I'm so forgetful, haha. Sorry! I'm honored. :)

First, One Lovely Blog Award from two fellow bloggers! Kari from A Good Addiction awarded this one to me and Miss Cindy at Simply Life and Reading, who then awarded it to me again, lol! Not complaining though. Thank you!

I already received this award though (reminds me that I really need to put up an award slideshow), so I'm not going to nominate any more blogs.

Now, this one is from a while ago, awarded to me by the lovely Bookologist!

Rules:

List 7 of My Favorite Things

Send this award on to 7 other bloggers

Bloggers that I'm passing this award to:

Katie @ Sophitikatied Reviews (Have you seen her designs?!)

Becky @ The Bookette

Kate @ The Neverending Shelf

Juju @ Tales of Whimsy

Brizmus @ Brizmus Blogs Books

Austenfan @ Reality Bites, Fiction Does It Better

Laina @ Laina Has Too Much Spare Time

Passed on to me by Nikki @ Ramblings of the Bibliophile. LOVE this award, thank you!!

 

It signifies all the bloggers out there who constantly work hard to keep an updated and insightful website. They aren't afraid to take a bite with their honest reviews and enjoyable content. You amaze me, you inspire me so I call you a blog monster.

 

There really is no limit, and I know that many blogs I adore have already been nominated so I'm going to limit myself with only three:

 

Katie @ Katie's Book Blog

  The Bookologist

Mel @ He Followed Me Home... Can I Keep Him?

 

If I didn't nominate you, don't be offended because I love reading each and every one of your blogs. No two people are the same, and the same applies to blogs. Keep up the awesome work, and know that you get a special award in my heart. :)

 

** Annoncement: CONTEST INFO - I'm still debating a bit on contests, but whether large or small, it should be up on Sunday. Just wanted to thank everyone again for their comments and opinions when I asked my questions!

Honest Scrap Award!

Thank you so much to Becky over at The Bookette for nominating me! The description for this award is very cute, and I couldn't love it anymore than I already do!

This is the Honest Scrap award. It is for those bloggers who write from the heart. The rules are to pass it along to seven bloggers and then list 10 honest things about myself. Here are those deserving of this honour, bloggers who write from the heart and touch me because of it (and I'm going to try to nominate blogs that haven't already received this award, so that doesn't means I don't love yours!):

Lisette at T.V. and Book Addict

Angiegirl at Angieville

Brizmus at Brizmus Blog Books
Natalie at Mindful Musings

Robyn at Robolobolyn's Books

10 honest things about me:

1. I used to think bugs would crawl up my nose, down my mouth, and into my ears while I slept. Trust me, I had a very special sleeping pose.

2. I'm still scared of the toilet monster. Especially in public bathrooms when no one's there. But let's pretend I never said that?

3. I cannot stand heated plastic, at all. Just the thought of it makes me want to gag.

4. Hearing about painful injuries also makes me want to gag. Seeing them actually does make me gag. I had to excuse myself from my Biology class once because this woman in the movie we were watching was talking about her extensive injuries, even though I covered my eyes so I didn't have to look at the fake reenactment. Then I stumbled down the halls and almost fainted, and I'm even exagerrating. I'm such a wimp.

5. I'm a total and complete perfectionist. And dominatrix, or at least I wish I was. I have to take control over everything and make it just right, so don't believe me if I let you handle something yourself!

6. I'm a silent crier. And I cry often. I never make sounds when I cry unless I want to, and a couple silent tears always come out when I'm frusturated, especially when it's with myself. And, I look really ugly when I cry. Is that honest?

7. Sometimes, I wish the bad boys in books were real. Actually, almost all the time.

8. I'm intimidated very easily. I think the publishers of books are machines; I'm afraid to email one.

9. I don't like weird animal foods, period. And that includes squid. And any type of insect.

10. I am the worst liar in the universe. Everytime I tell a lie, I feel so bad that I immediately tell the truth. Or I just smile and look like a complete idiot... then they tell me I'm lying.

And, as a side note, I joined Dewey's read-a-thon today! It's this Saturday, starting at 1:00 GMT, which means I'll only be able to read for the beginning couple hours. But I'll try! If you haven't heard of this read-a-thon, you might want to check it out over here. And please tell me if you're participating! :)

First Award!

Books Whisperer gave me my first award! I'm so excited; thank you! :)
