Thanks for the Blog Love

Just wanted to give a big thank you hug to all the wonderful bloggers who have shared awards lately, I'm tickled pink getting them all. Due to some minor surgery I'm not feeling up to passing these all on again but I have passed on the new-to-me awards. I also wanted to give a big shout out to the following awesome bloggers who have thought of me when passing awards on. Grab a coffee or a cool drink and take some time to visit their blogs, you won't be sorry!

Zombie Chicken Award from

Robby @ Running For Fiction and Sarbear @ My Life is an Effing Fairy Tale and Yvette @ True Crime Book Reviews

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.

The Super Comments Award from Briana at The Book Pixie

We give and get awards for having a great blog and being a good friend. What I want to award is those people whose comments have meant THE WORLD to me. It takes time to visit a blog and leave a comment ... I wanted to recognize some special bloggers whose comments have made such an impact on me.



Proximade Award from Mel @ He Followed Me Home ... Can I Keep Him

This award invests and believes in proximity—nearness in space, time and relationships. These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement! Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers!


Heartfelt Award from Melissa @ Melissa's Bookshelf

Do you reach for a cup of cocoa or tea when your relaxing, seeking comfort, sharing a plate of cookies with family and freinds? You know the feeling you get when you drink a yummy cup of cocoa, tea, or a hot toddy? That is what the Heartfelt Award is all about, feeling warm inside.
