BBAW: Day 1 – Appreciation

Published by Darren on September 10, 2012 | 20 Responses

BBAW: Day 1 AppreciationToday is the second day of Book Blogger Appreciation Week! The annual celebration of the book blogging community.

If you’ve been around for previous BBAWs you’ll know that each day there is a “Daily Blogging Topic” for every one to post about. Today’s is, aptly: Appreciation.

Appreciation! There are no awards this year, but it can still be hard to navigate the huge universe of book blogging. Share with your readers some of the blogs you enjoy reading daily and why.

I’ve picked three blogs to share with you today, one relatively new one to me, and two that I’ve been visiting for a while.

BBAW: Day 1 Appreciation

I’ve only discovered BookTwirps in the last month or so, but it’s already one of the blogs I keep in my ‘daily’ folder in Google Reader.

I really like the design of the site, and I’ve already added a couple of books to my wishlist because of my visits!

BBAW: Day 1 Appreciation

Clover’s site has been one of my regular blogs to visit for a few years now. Even when I’m short of time, Clover’s blog is one I’ll always do my best to find time to stop by and read her posts.

Bookzone does a great job of spreading the joy of reading to all, not just it’s target audience.

    Sheesh–I’d never heard of any of these! But what else is BBAW for if not to overload one’s reader even more, right? :P

      Thank you! :) I use a plugin to do the tab effect, but it can be done with CSS as well.
