EBWelcome to Book Blogger Appreciation Week! For anyone who doesn’t know, BBAW is a week to celebrate book bloggers and all that they do. (There’s also an awards portion, and we’re up for Best Publishing Industry Blog! Click on that link and scroll down to the bottom for voting instructions.)
Today’s theme is community, and bloggers are supposed to highlight other bloggers who’ve made blogging unique and fun for them. Since we work with so many bloggers, all of whom are wonderful in their own ways, I’m just going to mention a few people I appreciate for reasons OTHER than their awesome book blogs.
Lori at TNBBC: Lori does not live in New York City, and yet I’ve probably hung out with her more than almost any other blogger. That’s because she will hop in her car and schlep herself here if the situation warrants it—like a Blake Butler event, or the Brooklyn Book Festival, or of course BEA. Sometimes I don’t even make it to events at BookCourt, and it’s a 10-minute walk from my house. I am always in awe of her dedication, and happy for it because it means we get to hang out!
Nicole at Linus’s Blanket: Nicole excels at a very difficult task: wrangling our real-life book club! Really, we wouldn’t even have a book club if Nicole hadn’t decided to organize an NYC blogger meet-up a few months ago.
Jenn at Jenn’s Bookshelves, Jen at Devourer of Books, Dawn at Too Fond of Books: Ladies who lunch . . . at Chipotle. They’re always ready to enable my addiction.
Michelle at my books, my life and Michelle at Galleysmith: So You Think You Can Dance is one of my favorite shows, and they’re some of my favorite people who talk about it on twitter.
I could go on and on. But what this list shows is that aside from being very insightful about books, book bloggers are a great group of people!
