Book Blogger Appreciation Week 2010: Entry

I have decided to enter myself in the Book Blogger Appreciation Week (September 13-17, 2010). I also offered my services as a judge. I think this is a great opportunity for book bloggers to come together to explore new blogs and get some recognition for the hard work we do to make our blogs the best they can be.

Background of BBAW

Book Blogger Appreciation Week was started by Amy Riley of My Friend Amy in an effort to recognize the hard work and contribution of book bloggers to the promotion and preservation of a literate culture actively engaged in discussing books, authors, and a lifestyle of reading.

The first Book Blogger Appreciation was observed in the fall of 2008 and occurs every September. The week spotlights and celebrates the work of active book bloggers through guest posts, awards, giveaways, and community activities. Book Bloggers are encouraged to register their participation for inclusion in a database of book bloggers.

I figured since this is my first year entering I would go all out and submit for three categories. I am putting my name in for
