ReplyDeleteWow! What a job you have! Thanks for doing this.
ReplyDeletegracious, I don't even know where to begin...
ReplyDeleteI will work on my nominations today!
ReplyDeleteI posted this update and call for nominations on my blog.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be awesome!!
ReplyDeleteSo many blogs...
ReplyDeleteWhat about Horror? Or Sci-Fi? Fantasy? Or just call it Spec Fic? We weirdos need to appreciate our book bloggers too!
ReplyDeleteIs there a list somewhere of the bloggers who are participating? I'd like to 1) check if my blog is on it and 2) check out some of the other participating blogs before making my nominations.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to drop in and say this is such a cool thing you are organizing!
ReplyDeleteI made a mention of it on my blog as well. Now I gotta work on my nomination list :)
Hooray! I will put together my list of nominations and send them your way!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to check out the participating blogs so that I can make my nominations as well :).
ReplyDeleteGreat list of categories..its going to take me until Aug 31 to get through all the categories!! hahah
ReplyDeleteI'm with Deena - I'd love to see a Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Speculative Fiction category.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the great work, Amy. This will be fun for sure :)
I just got your BBAW e-mail and I'm overwhelmed with all the work you're doing with it. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteI nominated a few people/blogs that hadn't signed up to be part of BBAW. Is that okay?
ReplyDeleteI got off to a bit of a late start - didn't see the nominations had opened until this morning
ReplyDeleteThis is a great contest! BTW,I love your wallpaper. Where did you get it?
ReplyDeleteNominations are in from me & I blogged about it. Of course, I did that before I saw 'Create A Link'! LOL Thanks so much for hosting this, Amy!
ReplyDeleteI just voted...

I'm glad I found this blog, however, I'm not in the loop enough yet to vote in this contest. I never imagined there were so many writers blogs - guess I never thought about it! I have now subscribed to yours.
ReplyDeleteThe list looks great! Can't wait to see all the nominations and the winners. :) We blogged about it on our site: www.CCBReview.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteTHANKS for running the contest!
This is such a great idea! Book bloggers are so important in these days of dwindling review sections in newspapers. Not to mention the fact they they just plain ROCK for doing it. You are awesome for this, My Friend Amy!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for all your hard work. I can't wait to see the outcome!
ReplyDeleteQuestion -- would a graphic novel/comics blog open the categories up too widely?
ReplyDeleteWhile the award would probably go to one of the majors (PW's The Beat, Journalista!, Blog@Newsarama and Comics Reporter are the ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox for the field really), it would be nice to see a minor at least nominated.
Also, would group blogs like Bookslut or Making Light be put in the same categories as single author blogs or would they be in a separate category?
Thanks, and good luck!
I just went to post about the Book Blogger Appreciation week and see that the nominations ended yesterday! I'm sorry that I missed them..if you extend the deadline, let us know!
ReplyDeletePlease also let me know if you extend the deadline! I hadn't even heard of this until now.
