Kris at Kris ‘n’ Good Books Just a plethora of wonderful stuff and beautiful cookies as well.
Jenre at Well Read Jenre puts up review after review and they’re all so well thought out. I’m amazed how she does it day after day
Renee at Renee’s Book Addiction Renee’s reading tastes are so diverse – I love going there and seeing what she’s been reading.
Wendy the Super Librarian Where else can I go and read about wonderful Harlequin’s, Librarian info and Sports all on the same blog? And she’s just had her 7th blogiversary. 7th!
This next award is for recognition of all those great bloggers out there who blog despite all of the day to day distractions. They take time from their busy schedules to plan and post content and still find time to comment on eveyone else’s blogs. This was awarded to me from Sayuri at Damn Heart…  Thank you Sayuri!!!
THE UBER-BLOGGER 2010
and I am awarding this to:
Ana and Thea over at The Book Smugglers They have such a diverse blog – I just love it and there’s always something new and wonderful to look at.
Chris over at Stumbling Over Chaos  If you haven’t checked out her linkity posts you’re totally missing out.  I really wish she’d work harder on those things. 😉
Mandi over at Smexy Books  She has something for everyone and posts almost daily.  How she does it I don’t have a clue, but I like it.
Next is the Sugar Doll Award, given to me by Janna from Erotic Romance Reader. A fairly new blog to me but I’m loving it.  Thanks for the award Janna!
I am supposed to list 10 things about myself, then pass the award on to some other bloggers!  Okay, here it goes:
1. I love coffee and would drink it all day if I could.  But I know my limits and am down to a mere 24 oz a day now.  Aren’t I good?
2. I used to own a pot-bellied pig named Hamilton. He wasn’t an inbred pbp so he got quite large – short but large.  He came to just about mid thigh on me (I’m 5’5″) and weighed about 125.
3. A long time ago in a land far, far away I dated a guy named Tracy.  Yes, it was weird.
4. Everyone in my family plays an instrument except me. My oldest sister plays the piccolo, flute & piano, my brother the trumpet, my other sister the clarinet and piano, my mom the piano and organ, my dad the piano.  I play the radio.  Well, I play the kazoo but I’m pretty sure that doesn’t count. 
5. I rarely watch tv.  Maybe 1 show a month if I just happen to be passing the tv and my hubby is watching a show that catches my eye.  I read – who’s got time for tv?
6. I’ve lived in Illinois, Idaho, Michigan, Oklahoma and California.  I’ve moved 21 times in my 44 years.  That’s just wrong.
7. I love my family and friends endlessly (Janna had this one on her list and it’s so great I had to keep it)
8. I hate to cook.  I’m not good at it, never learned properly and it drives me nuts that I have to do it to feed my family each night. *sigh* but I do it cuz I love them and I need to keep Child Protective Services away.  Anyone want to come over and cook at my house…daily…for no pay? 
9. My husband has had one Harley or another for the past 5 years and I’ve never ridden on any of them.  Not that I don’t want to but we couldn’t exactly pack up and ride whenever we wanted to with 2 small children so he’s had to go by himself.  Now that they’re getting older it will be easier.  Someday.
10. I love my blogging friends.  I love talking books with them and getting to know them – even if it’s virtually.
Because I would love to learn a little bit more about them, I am passing this award along to the following bloggers.  I visit some of these blogs on a semi-regular basis (when I get a chance) and I know about them but I don’t know them – others are brand new to me so I want to get to know them. 🙂
Congrats to everyone – enjoy!

I’M OK…and UR OK Too

Posted August 6, 2009 by Tracy in Reviews | 4 Comments

Yep – it’s yet another blogger award – in a manner of speaking. It’s more the I’M OK/UR OK token that I was given by Lisabea last March (I see your mouth gaping open. I told you I was behind on my giving!). There aren’t any real rules for this one but it was Lisabea saying: I’m particularly drawn to bloggers who review across the spectrum of genres in romance, who do so with laughter and a good will, and who aren’t limited by the expectations of their audience. They open doors. That was just too darned to cool for words so I’m going to attempt to pass this wonderful token on to three blogs, that are relatively new-to-me, who I feel do that as well.

Hicia from Impressions and Musings of a Bibliophile. Hilcia is always fascinating me with her varied reading material and I love reading her reviews.

Leontine from Leontine’s Book Realm. Her reviews are well thought out and I very much enjoy reading them. I think part of it is that English is her second language and it just amazes me. Besides that, have you seen that woman’s bookshelves? Holy mackeral!

Orannia from Walkabout. Love her blog. Her sense of humor as well as her ability to break down a book to the basics has me gobbling the reviews.

Is it a Zombie? Is it a Chicken? No, it’s Zombie Chicken!

Posted August 5, 2009 by Tracy in Reviews | 9 Comments

So I’ve been meaning to pay a few awards forward that I’ve received in the past and well, this seems as good a time as any to hand one out! I received the Zombie Chicken Award from Lori back in April hangs head in shame for taking so long to do something with it and now I’m in that Zombie Chicken state of mind (how often do I get to say that?) and ready to pass it on.

Award Description: “The blogger who receives this award believes in the Tao of the zombie chicken – excellence, grace and persistence in all situations, even in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. These amazing bloggers regularly produce content so remarkable that their readers would brave a raving pack of zombie chickens just to be able to read their inspiring words. As a recipient of this world-renowned award, you now have the task of passing it on to at least 5 other worthy bloggers. Do not risk the wrath of the zombie chickens by choosing unwisely or not choosing at all…”

Yes, It says I’m supposed to pass it on to only 5 bloggers but I’ve decided to give this one to the 6 new DIK ladies who have recently landed on the island. All of them are fun, intelligent women who love books…and I’m guessing they love Zombie Chicken’s as well. I mean really, who doesn’t?

Amanda
Jenre
Kris
Lea
Ms. Moonlight
Renee

Enjoy your ZCA ladies!!
