The Versatile Blogger Award

This week, Coffee and a Book Chick  ,Jackie B at Housewife Blues and Chihuahua Stories, and Kelsey at Kelsey's Book Corner each gave me the Versatile Blogger award. I am so honored to be given such a lovely award from so many other wonderful bloggers. 

And the rules for accepting this award are:

When you receive this award, you must share seven things about yourself and then pass it on to 15 blogs you have recently discovered that you enjoy!

So, for your further boredom I present my 7 facts!

1.I had a fish called Ophelia till she went crazy (read: something happened to her swim bladder), swam upside down for a year and a half and died. 

2. I'm American but ever since my best friend showed me an episode of Qi when I was in high school I have been obsessed with British Panel Shows. 

3. I love to bake, but I rarely eat what I've made.  I have been using this as a reason for why I can't live alone. 

4. I was a theatre geek back in high school and had every intent on directing plays for a living. Now I'm in film school. I've dabbled in directing, production design, producing. None of these positions were for me. The only thing that really fit was screenwriting but that is still a bit of a stretch.

5.One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone picks at their nails. To  me they might as well be running them over a chalk board.

6.I love Diet Pepsi

7. My least favorite season is Summer. I hate how hot it gets and how much drama comes about. My favorite seasons are Winter and Spring

And last but certainly not least, here at the blogs I'd like to give this award to, in no particular order. You should go check them out!

A very lovely award from a lovely blogger

Today I received this  wonderful award from CMash

And the rules for accepting this award are:

When you receive this award, you must share seven things about yourself and then pass it on to 15 blogs you have recently discovered that you enjoy!

Since I had to list 10 things about myself with yesterday's award, I won't bore you again today.

So without further ado, here are my seven (possibly boring) facts:

1.I had a fish called Ophelia till she went crazy (read: something happened to her swim bladder), swam upside down for a year and a half and died. 

2. I'm American but ever since my best friend showed me an episode of Qi when I was in high school I have been obsessed with British Panel Shows. 

3. I love to bake, but I rarely eat what I've made.  I have been using this as a reason for why I can't live alone. 

4. I was a theatre geek back in high school and had every intent on directing plays for a living. Now I'm in film school. I've dabbled in directing, production design, producing. None of these positions were for me. The only thing that really fit was screenwriting but that is still a bit of a stretch.

5.One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone picks at their nails. To  me they might as well be running them over a chalk board.

6.I love Diet Pepsi

7. My least favorite season is Summer. I hate how hot it gets and how much drama comes about. My favorite seasons are Winter and Spring.

There, I hope I haven't bored you to much with that.

It was the weekend before finals and all through the apartment -

I'm right in the middles of finals right now. Needless to say life has been hectic. I feel bad that all of my blogging this week has been less about what I'm actually reading then about other, random things. I do keep an addition day to day blog on livejournal (part of a documenting my life project, on year two). In a funny, almost universal occurrence both mine and one of my roommates room's are horrid messes. I always forget how quickly cleaning goes out the window when one has a five projects due on the same day. Plus two of my roommates and two of my best friends have had birthdays in April, which has been a exciting but still unfortunate drain on my book funds. 


I know, I know. I'm babbling. This blog is about my unadulterated love for books. I doubt I'll finish The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane tonight, but that is what I'm currently reading. I'm not sure if I've got to much on my mind or if the book really isn't captivating but I'm having to force myself to read a few pages a day. Thankfully it's short, and homework will let up for a day or so on Monday.

Which brings me to the reason for this entry. I got another Award today! Though I feel like I've totally been neglecting Loving Books, I'm still very appreciative. 

This Award is from the amazing Cat at  Tell Me a Story 

1. Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award and his or her blog link.

2. Pass the award to other blogs that you’ve newly discovered.
3. Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award.

Prolific Blogger Award

Having just started to actively promote my blog, I was amazed to find that Becki over at Confessions of a Bibliophile. Hers is one of my favorite blogs I have found thus far through the blog hop last week. She updates very regularly and about books I've either read and enjoyed or have wanted to read. Most recently her review of Revolutionary Road has me putting it on hold at the (not always so) lovely Harold Washington Library.
Thank you Becki!

A prolific blogger is one who is intellectually productive, keeping up an active blog with enjoyable content. After accepting this award, recipients are asked to pass it forward to seven other deserving blogs.

Now comes the hard part. So many of the people I follow deserve awards, but heres my 7 in no particular order.
