BBAW is over for another year, and Amy and crew deserve a standing ovation and fifteen minutes of applause for the fabulous job they did pulling the even together. I'd also like to thank all the individuals and companies who offered support in so many ways.
I just saw a fantastic wrap-up post by Kathy of Bermuda Onion Weblog and I loved her format so much I decided to
♦ There are a ton of terrific book blogs out there, and I clearly need to do more exploring.
♦ Pretty much everyone has some kind of organizing system for their books . . . except me.
♦ No matter what your favorite genre, there are other blook bloggers with your same tastes.
♦ The book blogging community, publishing industry, and related businesses and individuals are amazingly generous with their time and with giveaways.
♦ I have absolutely no resistance to books . . . My name (isn't really) Beth Fish and I'm a bookaholic.

You also did a great job in celebrating BBAW. I liked all your generous giveaways and your up to date posts.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bookaholic too and I don't want to be cured! I had so much fun this week! Congratulations to all the lucky winners!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Even though I didn't win any of your prizes, you are still one of my faves :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats winners!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I'm with you on the 'no resistance' to books! Congrats to all the winners of your giveaways :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great wrap-up!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all the winners!
Great wrap up, Beth. I'll join you in saying "I'm a bookaholic" :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all your winners.
Ditto - Amy and the crew deserve a big standing ovation.
That exploring thing is so dangerous! It's so easy to spend all day reading blogs.
ReplyDeleteI actually saw a lot of people with no organizing system at all for their books. That baffles me... How do you know where to find things? I go right to it because I know where everything is!
ReplyDeleteLoved Kathy's post and yours too!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your very generous giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWinning a book is like Christmas - both when you win it, and when the parcel arrives :D
Congrats to all the winners. I don't want to build up a resistance to books! LOL
ReplyDeleteDon't feel bad Beth the Bookaholic. I have no orgnizational system for my books either. They are a complete, choatic mess. And I love it.
ReplyDeleteBBAW was a blast ... but I'm too tired to do a wrap-up!! I picked my winners and did the bare minimum to list them! : )
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited just thinking about the fall readathon (although tired from BBAW at this point and glad that there is a break in between the two). :) I really hope that things work out so that I can participate this time. Life has gotten in the way of the past three readathons.
I really love that you won best new book blog. A million congratulations, and also a million million thanks to you for all that you did to make the week so glorious.
ReplyDeleteTake a little rest now.
Just a little..
I have NO organization. I should take a picture of my bookshelf to show you just how little there really is. Piles and piles and piles....that's about it. haha
ReplyDeleteI agree with your sentiment on generosity. I didn't even try to enter giveaways (with the exception of Bart's which you won!) and Scholastic's Twitter-way on Friday because there were just so many of them I couldn't possibly wade through it all.
I'm proud to have been able to participate this year. Amy did a fabulous job of putting together a wonderful event!
I am getting used to the idea of the October read-a-thon! I blocked my calendar so I think I might join :)
ReplyDeleteThis was my first BBAW and I didn't have much time to participate (I learnt that I have a job as well LOL) but it was fun anyway!
:'(
ReplyDeleteBut then it is ok ;)
I knw i had fun this last week too :)
