Versatile Blogger Award

Thank you to the lovely Nicole at WORD for Teens for the Versatile Blogger Award!

Thank the person who gave you this award. 2. Share 7 things about yourself. 3. Pass the award along to bloggers who you have recently discovered and who you think are fantastic for whatever reason! Then contact the bloggers you’ve picked and let them know about the award.

Hmm, 7 things about me...
(1) One of my favorite series to read as a kid was the "Little Critter" series
(2) I love watching meteor showers and I'm really glad I have a friend that likes watching (and enjoys astronomy) them almost as much as I do!
(3) I'm bilingual
(4) The next big thing I'm saving up for is my first DSLR camera. I've shot mostly canon P&S cameras my whole life, but I want to move up to a DSLR and learn more about shooting with manual settings.
(5) I enjoy learning ASL (American Sign Language) though I haven't had a chance to take a formal class or course yet.
(6) There are more books than clothes in my room.
(7) I love watching movies! (Although I am not always a fan of movies based on books because I rarely feel they do the book justice)

And now for the blogs I nominate:
(I'm glad I got a chance to meet all of you @ BEA this year!)

• Susan from Waste Paper Prose
• Sarah from Sarah's Random Musings
• Alexandra from Poisoned Rationality

Congrats & thanks again to Nicole for nominating me!

Kreativ Blogger Award

Thanks so much to Mari of MariReads for this new award!

I'm sooo sorry about the delay in getting this up. I'm also sorry that my updates have been a bit spotty. But lately, the library at which I work has been undergoing expansion, so I've been kept really really busy with all the reorganization, general running of the library, and the summer reading program for kids! The construction will probably go on for about another month or so, so my appologies in advance! I'm very excited about the expansion, though, since there'll be more room for new books, which is always good!!

But onto the award! I've been instructed to list 7 of my favorite things and 7 of my favorite blogs! So here it goes:

7 Favorite Things

1. family + friends
2. books
3. movies + music
4. my computer
5. sports
6. having a good time
7. reliability

7 of My Favorite Bloggers
