Winner and blog awards!
Happy Monday! First… I’ve been remiss in paying forward two very fun blog awards that I received from the fabulous Kristen over at Bookworming in the 21st Century. I also received one from Alex that I’ll be paying forward very soon. (Thanks, Alex!) Your Blog Rocks Award
Kristen actually gave me this one back on July 20th and it’s taken me this long to pay it forward. Yikes! That was in the middle of us having family here for 14 out of the last 17 days so my online time has been super limited. So thank you (again!) for the award, Kristen! And here’s who I’d like to nominate for the award: Alyson Noel Zombie Chicken Award
This one is pretty hilarious. And very flattering when you think about it. The blogger who receives this award believes in the Tao of the zombie chicken – excellence, grace and persistence in all situations, even in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. These amazing bloggers regularly produce content so remarkable that their readers would brave a raving pack of zombie chickens just to be able to read their inspiring words. As a recipient of this world-renowned award, you now have the task of passing it on to at least 5 other worthy bloggers. Do not risk the wrath of the zombie chickens by choosing unwisely or not choosing at all… For this very special zombielicious award, I nominate: Tera Lynn Childs Also, be sure to check out Stephanie Kuehnert’s lie from her Author Spotlight interview on Friday! I’m delighted to announce that the winner of the signed copy of Ballads of Suburbia that I bought at ALA is:
