Book Blog Appreciation Week: What a surprise?

I wanted to post about this in a timely manner, but it so happened that my mind scratched this from my to-post list and thus I became aware that the Book Blog Appreciation Week is soon to dawn and I am reporting about the event after the polls have been closed for nominations. I am sure that most know about the BBAW as it turns out 400 bloggers attended the event last year. Where was I sleeping at that September week is beyond me, but I am pretty excited about being a more active part this year as I view the BBAW like our community’s Oscars.

If you yourself are not acquainted with the BBAW, then here is the official site, where it’s not too late to register in the official database, given you are a reviewer and blogger.

But the reason why I am suddenly jolted into remembrance is because I received the most awesome e-mail today. It turns out that someone, I have no clue whatsoever who, nominated me for the category Best Series or Feature. Apparently, my Reviewer Time feature really did impress or moved somebody so much that they decided to nominate me. I am shell-shocked and astonished, since I am not used to such high recognition. I am humbled. Truly, so, mysterious stranger, I thank thee.

Thanks, everybody. :) I am still a bit on the hoppity-hop-hop side of this and it's really something I have to share or explode. *laugh*
