BBAW wrap-up and thank you, Amy!

Although I didn’t post for the last three days of BBAW, I wanted to mention a few of the great new (to me) blogs I discovered during that week:

A Girl Walks into a Bookstore
A Reader’s Respite
At Home with Books
B&b ex libris
Book Chatter
Bookgirl’s Nightstand
In Spring it is the Dawn
No More Grumpy Bookseller
Ramya’s Bookshelf
Reading in Appalachia
She Is Too Fond of Books
Shooting Star Mags
The Library Ladder

Check them out! (These are obviously only a few of all the fabulous book blogs out there!)

I also wanted to add my voice to all the bloggers thanking Amy...

This summer, after book blogging was patronized and criticized in the mainstream media, Amy from My Friend Amy made a suggestion that we celebrate book blogging. From that idea, Book Blogger Appreciation Week was born. Many of us have participated in interviews, contests, giveaways, and through awards, but this would never have happened were it not for the dream, perseverance, planning, hard work and dedication of Amy. This has been a wonderful week and as members of the book blogging community, in one voice we want to thank Amy for all that she has done.

Amy, you are truly the Queen of Book Bloggers and we love you!

Thank you, Amy, for making BBAW such a fun experience!

Finally, my apologies to everyone who has commented on my blog in the last week. I will (hopefully this week!) get around to replying to all your lovely comments. Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope you’ll continue to read it!

Edited on September 23 to add:
This is embarrassing, but I just realized last night that I forgot to congratulate all the BBAW award winners! So this is me belatedly congratulating you all!
