I've seen this award floating around everywhere and was literally dieing for a nomination. A big thank you to J. Kaye at J. Kaye's Book Blog for granting my wish (= This is like the best award ever - and I think the person who made the graphic is a weirdo genius! <3


The blogger who receives this award believes in the Tao of the zombie chicken - excellence, grace and persistence in all situations, even in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. These amazing bloggers regularly produce content so remarkable that their readers would brave a raving pack of zombie chickens just to be able to read their inspiring words. As a recipient of this world-renowned award, you now have the task of passing it on to at least 5 other worthy bloggers. Do not risk the wrath of the zombie chickens by choosing unwisely or not choosing at all...

I'd totally take on zombie chickens for:

Melissa's Bookshelf
Drey's Library
Darque Reviews
Presenting Lenore
The Galaxy Express

If you've recieved one of these awards already than you get a cookie!! (Okay, not really but yay for you!)

Day 86 - Me? Fabulous?

I have to extend a big, warm, thank you to Taylor <3 from For the Love of Books for nominating me as "fabulous". Seriously, whodathunkit? Certainly not me (=

Here are the rules:
List five things you are obsessed with/addicted to and then nominate five other fabulous blogs to pass on this award on to!

My Addictions:

1. My #1 will always be books. I'm totally addicted/obsessed/crazy about books. I think there is a deep need of the written word somewhere embedded in my genes (which I hope to pass down to future children).

2. Jade, my beautiful niece, who will be 17 months on the 20th. She seriously makes me want to kidnap her from my sister and adopt her (= Just seeing her giggle or make silly faces make my days so much better.

3. Sleep - Oh how I loooove my sleep. We're like this *crosses fingers* I swear if I could sleep and read all day I'd be one happy gal. (Along with eating and other bodily necessities, like Neapolitan ice cream, yum!)

4. Transformers! Not really for the movies that have been released (even though I'm oh so excited to see the next one in May *jumps up and down*). I got back into the cartoons from the 80s and I seriously can't get enough of them. Definitely makes me wish I was an Autobot =D Even though my favorite Transformer is a Decepticon (Soundwave)

5. Guitar Hero and/or Rock Band. A beautiful invention indeed (=

I'd like to nominate:

J. Kaye - J. Kaye's Book Blog

Kimberly - Darque Reviews

Drey - Drey's Library

Carrie - Carrie's YA Bookshelf

Kristi - The Story Siren

**Some of my nominees might have received this award already. I apologize if you have, but nothing wrong with being double fab (=
