Hello lovelies! Being that awful procrastinator that I am, I decided to post my nominations for The 2nd Annual Book Blogger Awards on the last day possible! I had been meaning to write out this post for some time now, but alas, my busy schedule hindered me from doing so until now! Since I barely joined the book blogging community this year, I didn’t have a chance to participate in this award in the past! I was ecstatic when I saw that I was nominated as the best new blogger by Briana @ Pages Unbound! This meant the absolute world to me! You can only imagine my euphoria when I was later nominated for the best discussion posts category by Maria @ Bookgraphy, and for the master of weekly features category by Avery @ Red Rocket Panda. I’m honestly so happy that tears are threatening to leak out! Being a part of the book blogging community is amazing, and it means so much to me that these beautiful bloggers thought so highly of me! ❤
The Annual Book Blogger Awards was created by Joce @ Write Through the Night. Until April 30th you can nominate bloggers for each of the categories listed below, making sure that there is a pingback to the original post. From May 13th-May 20th, the 4 bloggers with the most nominations in each category will go through to the Twitter voting round. Then on June 1st, the winner will be announced. You can nominate up to 3 people per category.
Since today is the last day, make sure to pop on over to Joce’s original post and leave your nominations in the comments, or make a post of your own! Please share some of the blogging love! Before I list my nominees, I want to say how much I love every book blogger! The community wouldn’t be the same without all of you lovely people!

Oh wow, I totally must’ve missed the pingback! Thank you so much for nominating me! I am totally not surprised that you were nominated for best discussion posts, and I find it so sweet that you tagged me for this category; it’s the second nomination I got, although I find it quite ironic that people would tag me for being friendly of all things as I’m extremely anti-social in real life lol 😉 So thank you very much for the nom, congrats to you, and keep up the terrific work on your blog! ❤ 😀
