Book Blogger Appreciation Week

Today, July 7, 2010, is the final day to register for Book Blogger Appreciation Week (of BBAW).  You can register to be considered for an award in a specific category or you can register to just have voting privileges.

When I first become aware of the event via Twitter, I considered registering but then thought I was really too new at the whole blogging thing to really put myself "out there" so speak.  After all, I only started my blog in late February.  I didn't want to appear like I was being boastful or self-promoting by registering.  So... I kept reading posts of those who had already registered.   But the funny thing was, I didn't think that about a single one of them!  Aren't we the hardest on ourselves?  Well...at least I know I am my own worst critic!   I have, however, received a lot of great feedback from other Kit Lit book bloggers, friends, and colleagues about the usefulness of my posts and links.  Then I read this post at the BBAW blog site that I found via YA Book Shelf  and realized this event is really a way to connect with more bloggers and readers,  so today I finally decided to go ahead and nominate myself for two different categories: Best New Book Blog and Best Kit Lit Blog.

After a lot of thought and suggestions from a few close advisors (you know who you are) I am submitting the following posts to represent the content, purpose and target audience of my blog:

Igniting the Fire

Librarian Love

A Nest for Celeste

The Power of Word~less Books

A Fabulous Fair Alphabet

Best of luck to all the BBAW participants!  I am looking forward to all the connections this event will bring!
