Award!

So I've been a bit bad with keeping up with things. Good news is that I'm almost finished with my last class for my Master's degree in Library and Information Sciences. All I have to do is log in 120 hours this summer and I'll graduate in August. Whoopee!! I'm excited to apply to a ton of places here in the city and see what happens.

To get back on track I need to give a big THANK YOU! to Planet Books for giving me the Friends Award.“These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated.”

I'll pass this award on to some great blog friends who always make my day with wonderful comments and insanely cool blogs:

Dennis @ Dennis's Diary of Destruction- one cool Vizsla
Andi @ Tripping Toward Lucidity- another cool Library Science student
Bree @ The Things We Read- a fellow student struggling through finals week (I sympathize!)
Nicole @ Linus's Blanket- another New York City reader
Jen @ The Movieholic & Bibliophile's Blog- books and movies...what could be better?
Rhinoa @ Rhinoa's Ramblings- a cool London blogger
Amanda @ Urban Bachelorette- a Brooklyn book blogger
Courtney @ The Public, the Private and Everything In Between- love her writing

Oh, and I have to post a photo of Planet Book's pup Rocky. So adorable, right??

The Lovely Award

I was recently awarded The Lovely Award for my blog by fellow big city blogger Ulat Buku in the City. I love her blog! And I find it amazing that someone in Kuala Lumpur is reading my blog. Yay! Thank you Ms Ulat Buku!

**Note: Ok that really wasn't a "short" list...I know I read too many blogs.



Here's a link to my other favorite "non-book" blogs.

Blogger Award - My first!

Sheramy over at Van Gogh's Chair awarded my blog this great little award. I am so excited because it's my first blog award!

So I don't know how it works passing on awards so I thought I'd just mention a few non-book blogs I've found and am a bit addicted to reading.

Two great ladies with two great blogs. I think they are sisters:
Life at Willow Manor
My Five Men

Great sites for quilting or sewing:
Sew What?
Midwife Knits
Old Red Barn Co.
One Shabby Chick

Since I love history:
Scandalous Women
You're History!

And a great blog from an artist's model in NYC:
Museworthy

And ones already awarded but I'll mention them here, both great art blogs:
The Earthly Paradise
Bob's Art Blog

*If I mentioned you, feel free (or not) to pass on the love.
