Today’s the first official day of Book Blogger Appreciation Week! The purpose of this post is to recognize a few of my favorite blogs. Now, I have waaay too many favorites to list in one post, so I’m just going to list three blogs that I love. And, obviously, used a very selective method to select these blogs (I closed my eyes, scrolled, and whichever blog the or landed on, wins!).
It just so happens that the first blog I landed on was also the very first blog I followed: No More Grumpy Bookseller. Becky and both have a love of the horror genre. Not the gory horror, but the “chills down the back of your neck” horror. If Becky recommends a book, I know I’ll enjoy it.
The next blog is The Book Lady’s Blog. Rebecca has quite the eclectic reading taste! Her posts are witty and humorous. She is a true bibliophile; she got married in a library! She’s also a book seller and details some of her most interesting experiences in her Adventures in Bookselling posts. These posts literally leave me laughing out loud, with tears rolling down my face!
And the final blog is A High and Hidden Place: Tales of A Capricious Reader. Heather is an incredibly creative woman; she created my header! She and I have very similar tastes in book, she always seems to be reading a book I have on my TBR shelf. We both switched to self-hosted blogs around the same time and it was nice to have someone experiencing the same frustrations/challenges I was facing, at the same time!
So, those are just a few of my favorite blogs! Please be sure to check them out!

Thank you introducing me to Becky — I don’t like horror of any kind, but I’m always glad to meet a fellow bookie.

The Book Lady (Rebecca) is on my BBAW list too. I’m going to look at the first blog which I’m not familiar.
Awww, why thank you! I am incredibly touched you included me on your list of favorite blogs. Yours is definitely on my list too. And yes, it was so great to go through the ordeal, I mean, adventure of going to self-hosting. I look forward to sharing more books in the future!
Thanks Jenn for intrducing me to three new bloggers.
BTW I added your blog in my post. I enjoy talking to you and reading your reviews.

Ah, the scientific method of selection
Choosing only a few book blog/gers to showcase was tough (next year, I may use your scroll and click method!)
Enjoy the BBAW festivities.

Lol! I did the randomizer too. These are some great blogs. It’s really hard to go wrong with so much good stuff.
Second time, I’ve seen High and Hidden Place, so added to my reader. Thanks for the recommendation.
