When I started this blog in February 2008, I didn’t really intend to have anyone else actually read it. If you read some of my earlier posts from those days, you’ll see that I signed my name at the bottom like a letter or something. I was such a goob. You can see an example of this here and here. Also notice that there aren’t any comments. I was just talking to myself back then.
So when I get awards such as this one, I am flabbergasted. Melissa over at Melissa’s Bookshelf was kind enough to award me with this Proximidade award. I have gotten to know Melissa through her posts and comments and I really enjoy her blog. If you haven’t visited her blog please do so!
Here’s a little about the award:
“This blog invests and believes in the PROXIMITY-nearness in space, time and relationships. These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement! Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this clever-written text into the body of their award.”
I know how busy everyone is with their reading lists and life in general so please do not feel obligated to post about this. However, I do want to mention some blogs that I feel really go out of their way to contribute to the book blogging community whether it’s through their blog, Facebook or even Twitter. I’m sure you know of them already and they have probably been awarded this award three times over but here you go:
Enjoy them! I know I do.

Congrats Ti, you absolutely deserve this award. You know how I love your posts and blog. Thanks so much for giving it to me. I’m really honored that you think I deserve it.I was smiling at your earlier posts. I was so lost as to what to write when I started and I didn’t really have a clue how to write a review. Not to mention there were never very many comments. I’m so glad we’ve both come so far with our blogs.
