I am amazed and flattered to have been short listed in the category of Best New Blog for BBAW this year. Beth Fish Reads will not see its first anniversary until next week.
When I published my first post, I could not have imagined where I would have ended up in twelve short months: reviews, author interviews, guest posts, Skype book club, cheerleading for the Read-a-Thon, sitting on a panel at BEA, getting a review accepted for publication, and getting my very own Ziggy cartoon. Wow! Even my head is spinning!
Thank you so much to everyone who has helped make my blog and my time online so fulfilling and supportive. And what is even more amazing is that I've met many of you face to face, and I now have wonderful "real" friends who bring a vast richness to my life.
No matter who you choose for each category, please don't forget to vote.
Congratulations! It is amazing how much you have achieved in your first year!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard about your ziggy cartoon - can you fill me in?
Good luck!
I'm not surprised at all. Congratulations!
