The Best Part of BlogLand

Now many people might surmise that the best part of being a book blogger would be, well....books. Lots of books.


But they would be wrong.


The best part of being a book blogger is most assuredly the fellow bibliophiles you get to meet and the lasting friendships that are forged through a love of the printed word.

How A Reader's Respite envisions all of us in 10 40 years.

How do you know you've made some darned good friends in Blogland? Why the awards, of course!


This is the part where I mention a few of the wonderful friends I have.....



Bunnitaz from Worth Reading It? sent me another of those beautiful, grammatically messed-up Butterfly Awards. I've taken a shine to this award, mostly because the grammar makes me smile every time. (Does anyone know where this one originated? I'd love to know.)






Lezlie from Books 'N Border Collies (and one very awesome gal) sent me the Great Buddy Award....this one touches A Reader's Respite's cold, black heart!







TexasRed Books thoughtfully send me the Lemonade Award for blogs with great attitude. Based upon my attitude as of late, I am assuming this is a gentle reminder not to be so cranky this early in the year. :)







Sandy, that taskmaster over at You've GOTTA Read This! who tricked me into reading Wuthering Heights (ha!), sent along the Fabulous Blog Award. Very Audrey Hepburn of her, no? Maybe someday I'll be as chic and thin as the gal on the award. Until then, someone get me another Hershey bar, please.


So thank you, Ladies!
