Gah, October? Where did the year go? I'm suddenly realizing we are entering the busiest season of the year and there's going to be tons to do for the next three months. It is unseasonably warmer right now, which makes it harder to believe that it's October. The colors have started changing but it's almost like the trees don't care and aren't even trying to put up a show. Renovation updates At this point, we have completed two weeks in our house while under renovation.

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!
