The wonderful, wonderful Missy B at Missy's Book Nook passed along her Sunshine Award to me today. How sunny and summery and lemonade sweet. If you have not yet visited Missy B hop on your bloggy bicycle and hurry away today!
I love that idea of readers riding beachy, wide handled sherbet colored bicycles with woven baskets and bells zipping along the long brick, tulip treed paths of the bloggysphere.
The lovely thing about awards? That they come with many spoons to share. I am allowed to pass this on to up to twelve bloggers but if it is alright I will do five today and save the rest for a rainy day? Is that alright? Hmm, no idea.
So five blogs that make me happy?
Kathy at The Literary Amnesiac: Her reviews are incisive and thoughtful and her blog is a wonderful mix of understanding her reading experience and her response.
Beth at Maybe Tomorrow?: Her writing sparkles with humor and heart.
Leanna at Daisy Chain Book Reviews: The faded, peachy rose art deco heading would be enough but her writing is gracious and elegant to match.
Carin at Caroline Bookbinder: She explained huge aspects the publishing world to me and has been endlessly lovely and helpful. Her blog is a marvelous world of dry humor and huge scope.
Lisa at Bibliophiliac: Keats's letters, A Prayer for Owen Meany, graduating seniors? She reads it, absorbs it and shares it in such a profound way.
So there are my lovely five. Take a bow.
In other news:
I took a belly dancing with a woman named Kelly Belly and I learned how to link. It is already a very good day.

Belly dancing, how cool! I hope you have a marvelous weekend and I also have an award for you.
ReplyDeleteOh, dear, I guess the email didn't come through and I am not sure why . . . I hesitate to put Rob's email address here, but maybe try this. He has a blog too (though recently he hasn't posted frequently) but you should be able to email directly to him through his profile if you go to his blog:
