BBAW: Community

Guys, I wasn't going to participate in BBAW for a couple of reasons. First of all, I have a lot of readers that aren't bloggers, and I didn't think they would want to read as much "blog-talk." Secondly, I post a week in advance, and I had already gotten my posts ready for this week. But, after going through my google reader this morning, I felt so warm and fuzzy about the lovely community posts I read, and I feel like it would be selfish for me not to highlight a few bloggers that brighten up my morning blog perusal.

Asheley from Into the Hall of Books - I love her taste in books. I love her thoughtful book reviews. I love seeing her thoughtful comments.

Sarah from Sarah Says Read - Sarah and I read a lot of the same things, but often we have different reactions. It is always great for me to read her reviews and think through my own reaction to a book, seeing different ways of experiencing it. Also, her blog is sassy and great fun to read!

Kathy from Read This Instead is one of my first "real life" blogging friends! I have really loved reading her blog for its great book selection and creative review template. It was a pleasure to meet her in person at the Utah Book Blogger's Social. :)

Ashley from Books from Bleh to Basically Amazing - This girl has more enthusiasm than anyone else I know! She has excellent recommendations and very thoughtful, in-depth reviews. I also consider her my personal guru for great contemporary YA reads.

Jillian from A Room of One's Own - Jillian has so much passion for reading and writing, and it is inspiring to read through her carefully thought out posts.

There are so many more of your blogs that I love, and I wish I had time to list all of them and the reasons they make my morning. Thank you to the book blogging community as a whole for suggesting fabulous books to read, giving me an outlet for all my book thoughts, and welcoming me with open arms.
