BBAW: Book Blogger Appreciation Week



It's that time of year again! Here is some information followed by some posts I'm proud of that I"m hoping will put me in the running for Best Nonfiction Blog.

From: http://bookbloggerappreciationweek.com
What:  Book Blogger Appreciation Week is a week long festival celebrating the community of book bloggers and their contribution to preserving a culture of literacy through book reviews and recommendations, reading reflections, and general bookish chat.  BBAW also includes an awards component.  For more information on the BBAW 2010 Awards and how to participate, please visit the BBAW 2010 Awards Blog.  BBAW events include daily blogging topics, blogger interview swaps, special guest posts, and so much more!
Who:  If you self-identify as a book blogger, this festival is for you!  We have been excited to welcome participants from all over the world for past BBAWs.
When:  September 13-17, 2010.
Where: Right here at the Book Blogger Appreciation Week blog.  You can participate in the comfort of your own home and the convenience of your own time zone.

So as I said I entered my blog for the Best Nonfiction Blog. The process is different this year and by submitting my blog, I'm just getting it in the running. It's still up to others to determine how far I make it.

So I have to share 5 posts that I think show me as the Best Nonfiction blogger.

  2. The Man's Book by Thomas Fink
  3. The Book Whisperer by Donalyn Miller
  4. Burn! The Life Story of Fire by Tanya Lloyd Kyi
