It got busy this week! Lots going on at home, work, and otherwise as well. Life My daughter's school decided to close on Friday, along with several other schools in the area, with some being closed from Thursday. Not enough staff. The school had been on a mask mandate since the beginning of the pandemic, dropping it only for one week when the pandemic had appeared to have stabilized last year. And yet, they dropped the mandate completely at the beginning of this year, when cases were exponentially rising, only to bring it back again starting next week. I've gone from being very annoyed to angry to feeling fatigue in these first two weeks already. I won't lie - we all mask around here and try to avoid going where we don't have a need to be in, and still, we are not taking anything close to the extreme precaution we all took at the beginning of the pandemic. I cannot and don't want to keep my kids home - I have at least that much faith in the schools' precautions
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.

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!
