Deepest apologies to all of you who gave me such lovely awards. I fell behind. Far behind. And then I went back up to Brisbane for the weekend to celebrate my belated 21st birthday. Fell even MORE behind. I’ve received a few awards, but I’m going to space them out over the next week. First one:
The Lemonade Award
This award came from J.T. Oldfield at Bibliofreak Blog which I adore and always love reading.
The Lemonade Award is a feel good award that shows great attitude or gratitude. Here are the rules for accepting this award:
• Put the Lemonade Award logo on your blog or post.
• Nominate at least 10 blogs that show great attitude or gratitude.
• Link your nominees within your post.
• Let the nominees know they have received this award by commenting on their blog.
• Share the love and link to the person from whom you received the award.
1. My Friend Amy – Amy not only ran Book Blogger Appreciation Week, with the help of a devoted team of bloggers, she still manages to keep her own blog topical and full of great reviews and fosters such a great reading community.
2. Maw Books – Natasha’s reviews just rock. And her love of reading is contagious even to already enthusiastic book lovers.
3. The Lit Connection – T.Y. has called dibs on Claudia from Baby-Sitters Club. Asians rock!
4. Musings of a Bookish Kitty – I heart this blog. And I also heart Literary Feline’s bio: Genius!
5. Just One More Page – Rebecca is just so lovely, and as I’ve recently discovered, spends a lot of time on Twitter. (As we all should do!)
6. Life in the Thumb – Staci’s blog just rocks. My TBR pile grows exponentially thanks to this one.
7. Books I Done Read – I would’ve awarded this blog from the awesome title alone. But lucky for me (and you) it’s actually a fantastic read and full of snappy reviews. Yay.
8. Should Be Reading – MizB is the essence of community spirit. :)
9. Lost in Books – Rebecca’s blog is excellent. And she’s in India right now. Soo jealous.
10. Books Like Breathing – Another blog that has helped quadruple my TBR pile. Not that I’m complaining… :P
Thank you to everyone who has also given me a award recently (or not so recently), and I will not forget you! Promise. xx.
Thank you! I heart you!
Thank you so much, Elena, for the award and your kind words! And congratulations on receiving the award yourself. You definitely deserve it. :-)
Hey! Are you outing my secret twitter habits??
hehe, thanks for the award! And congrats to you :)
@T.Y: You’re welcome!
@Literary Feline: Thank you, and so do you :)
@Rebecca: No worries, and “secret twitter”? isn’t that an oxymoron haha
Aw, that’s too sweet of you! Thanks so much!

Congrats to you and your nominees!
I’m way behind on posting about and giving away awards, so don’t feel bad about that!
You put together a great list!
Thanks so much Elena!! I really appreciate that you thought of me for this one!!
You are all very welcome :)
Thanks Ryan! I’m getting to yours! Promise (methinks I’m just not used to having a job – it takes up too much blogging time).
J.T. I’m glad you think so! yikes, falling behind on reviews now. Time to hop to!
Congratulations to you and your nominees. :)
As to the Apple Tablet, rumor has it that it will be priced just under USD499. Like other Apple products, the price is expected to drop about a year after the rollout. I also heard that the Tablet would be able to have 3G function.
@Matt: Thanks! The Apple Tablet having 3G sounds about right – they’ll probably make e-books available for download straight too it.
