I’m veering from my regular blogging schedule for a fun announcement. This past week, the lovely Heather from Edited to Within an Inch of my Life gave my blog the Silver Lining Award. Thanks Heather! Now it’s my turn to pick five favorite blogs and bestow this award on them. Decisions, decisions! All right, I choose:

Wow, Anna! I’m so touched – really what a lovely surprise to come home to after a weekend away at hockey arenas!
Well, I’m not surprised you got the Silver Lining award from Heather. Even though we’ve never met I can tell from your blog and your presence on Twitter and on the BB’s that you are truly a sweetheart.
Your blog always informs and inspires me too. Thanks for your support!
Nelsa, you’re very welcome! And thanks so much for you kind words. Now I’m blushing a little.
Well, get ready to blush some more, Anna. I never miss reading your posts because they not only inform and inspire me like Nelsa said, but they’re also comfortable. It’s as if I’ve known you for years and we’re meeting over a cup of tea. I bet a lot of your readers feel that way, too.
Thank you so much for picking my blog—what a lovely surprise! I sure am in great company!
Anna, thank you so much! Now off to check out the other blogs.
Anna, What a great surprise getting an award from my book twin!
Like the others have said, I feel like I “know” you from interacting through our blogs, the BB, Twitter, and on the web. We are kindred spirits indeed because our love of the craft and the same books.
Plus your blog rocks!
Thanks so much!
Andrea, I know exactly what you mean about a blog feeling “comfortable” – that’s exactly why I picked your blog and the four others, because I feel like your personalities all come across so clearly. It’s so nice to have fellow writers to commiserate with.
Caroline, you’re very welcome. This is why I love blog awards, because you get to find out about other great blogs.
Thanks Karen! I’m so glad we book twins were able to find each other on the interwebs!
thanks for the new blogs to check out! Congrats on your award!
Hi Anna, I loved getting your list – especially because these were blogs I was unfamiliar with. Thanks! And congrats on the Silver Lining award!
Heather J.
Thanks Terry and Heather! Happy reading.
Congrats on the award! Enjoy!
