Contest Winner + An Award

My Twenty Boy Summer contest for a hardcover copy of the book and an imitation necklace just closed about 10 minutes ago and, with the help of a random friend picking a number on twitter, we have a winner! First of all, thank you to everyone who entered for sharing what awesome things you are doing or did this summer! It was fun to read through all of those!

And now for an award!

A few days ago, I got an award from Harmony Book Reviews! Yay! Thanks so much! I'm always a little surprised to get awards and it takes me a while to get over it.. so that's why I take a few days to get these posted up. Here's a blurb about the award:

Let's Be Friends Award

"Blogs that receive the Let’s Be Friends Award 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. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers."

And here are my nominations:

WilowRaven from Red House Books

Kim from The Book Butterfly

Taschima from Bloody Bookaholic

Scrap Girl from Serendipity

Sab H. from Crystal Reviews

Andrea from The Little Bookworm

Alex and Lauren from A Flight of Minds

Emma from Booking Through 365

Thanks for being awesome you guys!

A big huge thanks to Emma, who inspired me to start blogging and has become my blogging buddy, who always seems to be on when I need to share some blogging thing or another. :)
