That's amazing!

Many, many thanks to Wendy, better known as Literary Feline of Musings of a Bookish Kitty, for giving me my very first blogging award! She's a regular Booking Through Thursday participant and a thoughtful book reviewer, and I've picked up a few fun memes from her lately. She is also a recent recipient of the Amazing Blogger Award, and shared the love!

It's amazing just being part of the great blogging community. Many of the bloggers who amaze me on a daily basis already have a bunch of awards in their sidebars, and others don't really play, since they're more niche-oriented and businesslike. Regardless, I wish I could pay tribute to you all. Having said that, and in the interest of paying it forward, I'd like to single out:

Alisonwonderland of "We're all mad here," said the Cheshire Cat to Alice and So Many Books, So Little Time: Keeping up with two active blogs is an achievement in itself, and the amount of book challenges she participates in is pretty impressive. (I'm also glad to give some props to another blogging accountant!)

Pam of Writing, Work, and Weasels: She tells some great stories, and I like her perspective.

Also, thanks to Sunshine of ...and the pursuit of happiness for the new button in the sidebar!

Wow, recognition rocks!
