Brr, it's getting cold | Weekly Snapshot

Posted on
Rest in Peace, Ruth. We will sorely miss you.
Cold morningsFor the past few days, we've been waking up feeling very cold. I've tried my best to ignore the season shift, but this morning, comfort took precedence and the heater has finally been turned on, if only for an hour. So while the afternoons are significantly warmer, the rest of the day and night is not. Personally, I love sweater weather, and with this year being a dud so far and not having been friendly to my wardrobe, I'm looking forward to some retail therapy.
Fall is about sweaters, pumpkins, pumpkin spice, wagon rides, corn mazes, so much good ole fun, and did I already say sweaters?
But, oh wait, we are still in a pandemic. Right, we'll find out what this year's Fall is going to be about. Even if some of these places are open, I know we won't be visiting any this year, so we are all going to be very sad.

Kicking off BBAW 2011

Posted on


The book blogging world surely has no shortage of awesome events. Only yesterday I was talking about the Indie Lit Awards. Today, I have another event to talk about - the 2011 Book Blogger Appreciation Week. I have a lot of links shared up in this post. You can also just go to the main website and browse around.

The BBAW, as it is better known, is Amy's (of My Friend Amy) brainchild. It has been running successfully for a few years now, and if you don't know what it is about, it is a week of celebrating book bloggers and all that we stand for. There are awards for various categories and niches and also a few book categories. The 2011 BBAW runs on the week of September 12-16. Starting now, you can register your favorite blogs in their respective categories or niches and once nominations are over, the judging will start.

Learn more about BBAW 2011 and the award process this year.

To know if a blog you enjoy reading is eligible for a 2011 BBAW award in any category, check this link.

To learn more about nominating your favorite reads this year, go here. (Note: These book awards are different from the Indie Lit Awards.)

Want to be a judge for BBAW 2011? Learn more about it here.

I encourage you all to go visit the main site and submit your favorite blogs. After all, this is about celebrating the book blogger love and sharing your favorite blogs across various niches. Last year, self-nominations were allowed, but this year, you can only nominate a blog that's not your own. Nominations close on Aug 13th, so don't forget to put your vote in soon!

I'm so looking forward to BBAW this year! I had so much fun doing it last year. I'm also intrigued to see self-nominations aren't allowed for blogs. I hope I discover more new-to-me blogs like I did last year!

@acffc36e23c7dbee22abc7d2fd97265f:disqus Actually, the nominations are closed, maybe that's why you can't see them? I'm not sure when they closed, probably sometime last weekend. The list of nominated blogs will be posted tomorrow.
