The "You Make My Day" Award

A week or so ago Suey at It's All About Books was generous enough to give me the "You Make My Day"Award. I was a bit shocked to find that there are actually people out there still reading my blog, seeing as I never actually post to it any more. (Or so it seems!) This little award has been going around for a couple of weeks and my Google Reader subscriptions have increased a lot because of it. This means, however, that I'm having a hard time figuring out who *I* want to give it to. I'm worried that I'll leave someone I love out! I don't have a blogroll on my blog (mainly cause I'm too dang lazy to do it) and I realize this means that no one knows who I read and love!

I am subscribed to 286 blogs on Google Reader. Now, some of those are defunct, and some of those I just glance at the topic title and skim, but there's still a good number of them that I read every day. How'm I supposed to narrow that down?? So instead of giving out the award, here's what I'm gonna do- Over there to the right, a little ways down, there is a section of shared items (Great posts from other bloggers!) I'm sometimes a bit lax about marking items shared, but I promise to be more generous in the future. If you click on the little "read more" at the bottom, you can even subscribe to a feed of them! I know, this is a bit of a cheat, but I'd rather send you off to see ALL my favorites than just the first few that pop into my head.

Thanks again, Suey, for the award. I love knowing that I do have a FEW readers left! Real content is coming soon! I hope!

In the meantime, check out my newest blogging endeavor We'd Rather Read. This one is a joint blog with some friends that promises to be a lot of fun- once we get it off the ground. If you're interested in blogging with us drop me a line, we could use one or two more readers... bookslistslifeATgmail works fine.
