A long, long time ago (hey, isn’t that the start of a song?) Literary Tiger nominated me for The Booker Award. This is an award for blogs whose content is at least 50% about books. So an award from one book lover to another.
A big, belated thank you to Literary Tiger for passing this award on. If you haven’t already stumbled upon her blog, make sure you visit now!
The Rules are:
1. Nominate other book loving blogs.
2. Post the Booker Award picture.
3. Share your top 5 books of all time.
And The Booker Award goes to ….
My problem is that I follow a lot of book bloggers who have already been nominated for this award. Obviously us book lovers all stick together. I will still name some favourite book blogs of mine. It is up to the recipients if they want to accept it or not. No returns 🙂
In no particular order:
1. Book’d Out
3. Lea at Sea
6. easyondeyes
I’ve already mentioned my favourite books in previous posts, so I will bend the rules a little and do a Random Books on My Shelf Quiz. Let’s see if all you book lovers out there can guess the names and authors of 5 books on my shelf:
Book 1: Boy meets girl on last day of college. Boy and girl decide to be friends. Years go by – day by day. Maybe they will get together eventually.
Book 2: Little sisters can be annoying. But what about a little sister who likes your boyfriend and then lies and tells everyone he committed a terrible crime? It’s enough to drive you to war.
Book 3: Four walls, a roof and a floor, a mother, and a scary man. Is there more to life?
Book 4: And you thought your childhood was bad, it’s no wonder this girl looks and acts like a rebel without a cause. That’s until she finds a cause helping a journalist uncover lies and corruption in a very cold climate.
Book 5: Diet, work, friends, relationships, mothers … it’s hard being a thirty-something single woman in a world full of smug married couples. Here’s hoping she will find her Mr Darcy.
Feel free to post your guesses in the Comment box below.
