Award Time!

Hello everyone!
I don't often have a chance to pass along the awards I've received...alas, I fall a bit lax in that area but know that for every one I receive, each of you is more than worthy of them yourselves.  Anywho, I was granted an award this past week that has a bit of a deadline attached to it so I find myself pushed (ever so nicely) to pass it along before it loses it's full strength (i.e. there's a contest involved for any recipient with an approaching end date).  The award being given here today came to me from my good friend Alexia over at Alexia's Books and Such.  (Thanks!)  If you haven't seen her blog yet, you really should...definitely some bookish fun to be had.  Without further adieu, it's time to present the....



...Worth Your Weight in a 'Gator Battle Award!

(Strange title but awesome description...read on....)

What this awards means...

Congratulations, you’ve won the honor of being Worth Your Weight in a ‘Gator Battle!

The award was created in honor of (at least according to them) the real stars from “Alien Tango”. No, not Katherine “Kitty” Katt or Jeff Martini. Alliflash and Gigantagator, Alligators Extraordinaire! The “Worth Your Weight in a ‘Gator Battle Award” is only given to the wily, the brave, and the cheeky, so get down with your bad self, you’re deemed worthy to run with the A-C’s! Now you get to spread the awesome by nominating other bloggers who would also be worth their weight in a ‘gator battle. Battling ‘gators is not for sissies or wimps -- only the strong survive -- so choose wisely!

--------------------------------------


Your mission details:

1.Slap the graphic on your blog post.

2.Give link props to the person who gave you the award (don’t rile a ‘gator fighter -- it’s dangerous).

3.Spread the awesome and nominate five (5) other bloggers who you think will be worth their weight in a ‘gator battle.

4.Let the recipients know they’ve won this honor on their blogs.

5.Last but not least, shoot Gini Koch an email at gini@ginikoch.com and let her know you’re worthy of running with the A-C’s (put “Worth My Weight” in the subject line!) by sharing that you’ve been nominated and telling her which other bloggers you nominated, and she’ll enter you into the “Worth Your Weight” Contest. Keep reading to find out more details and what the loot is below.




Of course, you can choose to ignore your awesomeness, but then you’ll never have a chance to nab your own A-C or win the loot. And you know you want both.

Contest runs from Wednesday, February 1, 2011 through Monday, February 28, 2011.

More details can be found HERE, on Gina Koch's blog.

My Nominees:

NotNessie at Today's Adventure
April at Cafe of Dreams
Arena at The Nerd's Wife

Roll out the red carpet....

Hi there!


Guess what?
It's Wednesday...YAY!
You know what that means, right?

-- waits for answer --

No really, DO you know what that means...because I sure don't, but we're going to wing it anyway.



Today's post would normally be a review but you know what...it's the beginning of the year and we all need a little time to gather our resources again, right?  **hopes for nod of agreement**  Truth be told, I depleted almost all of my "read" books last month and so far this year, I've finished one novel and two picture books so I need to build up the reserves so to speak....BUT, that doesn't mean the fun stops on here!  After all, there will be reviews this week, just not today, and this affords me the time to pass along something I received at year's end from one of you fabulous bloggers. 

Roll out the red carpet....it's time for an award!
The badge of honor being passed along today is...

...the Stylish Blogger Award!

I've received this award in the past, but the most recent nod comes from Mary Ann over at Tribute Books Mama (THANK YOU).  Be sure to check out her site for book reviews as well as other entertainment related posts...all of which offer a unique perspective on what's going on "now".


The rules for this award are as follows...
1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded you this award
2. Share 7 things about yourself
3. Award 15 recently discovered great bloggers
4. Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award!


------------------------------------------------------------

Hmm...7 things about myself...I always have a hard time with these things.  Let's see....


7 Things You May (or May Not) Want to Know About Me

1.  October and December are my favorite months.  I think the weather and the holidays (including birthdays) have something to do with it.  ^_^

2.  I went to 3 different high schools.  Yep...and before you even think it, I wasn't a bad kid.  Our family just moved to another district and then there was a change to private school.  During my sophomore year, I went to one school for the first half of the year and another for the second.  What was funny about it was the first school was on the block schedule system...4 classes/periods for the first part of the year and the other 4 during the second half.  The second school had the old 8 classes/periods for the entire year.  I ended up with 4 study halls and had to make up the first half of the year in the remaining 4 subjects I was currently taking.  (Confused yet?  LOL.)

3.  My favorite subject in school was....English Literature.  (Surprised?  I didn't think so.  ^_^)

4.  I love post-it notes...not the brand per se, but the item.  I have about --counts-- *ahem* 21 packs in my desk drawer right now...all with different pictures or characters on them.  We've got monster ones for Halloween, Beatrix Potter ones for spring, polar bears for winter...and currently using little checkered ones with a reindeer on the bottom corner.  They're useful for their intended purpose, but they also make great bookmarks and portable note space (I stick one or two in the books I'm reading to jot notes on the go).

5.  I don't eat snack cakes very often, but at Christmas time...I make an exception.  Those Little Debbie Christmas tree cakes with the little green sprinkles...FAVORITE...and yet I'm not a fan of the other ones (go figure).

6.  If I pass a bookstore, I can not resist going in.  Whether I walk out with a new purchase is something else altogether, but I simply can't walk by without looking around.  (I know, it's an addiction...but I'm SO not working on it...hehe.)

7.  I have a Sony Pocket eReader (in pink, no less) that I received as a gift about a year or so ago, but it is ONLY for back up reads...as in classic books or secondary copies of books I already have or the dreaded "oh-no-I-unexpectedly-finished-my-paper-book-and-need-something-to-read-pronto".  Call me old fashioned, but I REALLY love my paper books.







 
------------------------------------------------------------

Now to pass along this little beauty.  Though I'd love to pass it to each and every one of you, the rules dictate 15 "recently discovered" so I'm going to try to play by the rules.


 

15 Stylish Bloggers





 
Thank you once again to Mary Ann for the award and to the new recipients...enjoy it you stylish bloggers you!  Be sure to check out their sites in your spare time...there's a lot of great bookish fun to be had here.



Until next time...happy reading!

Time to Celebrate....Blog Awards!

Hi there!
Happy Friday to you!
It's been a busy week despite the look of things here at Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.  Between holiday time off, family surgeries, and reading schedules, in a word, I'm.....pooped!  Yep, tuckered out...no stamina to blog about the goodness of things I have read, am reading, or will be reading very shortly.  I know, shock and awe and all that jazz, but not to worry....I'm not throwing in the virtual towel or going on hiatus, just merely opting for a lighter post today that celebrates all of you! 

Today, I would like to pass along an award that I've had the fortune of receiving over the course of my blogging life.  So, let's get this party started!  First up....

The Honest Scrap Award
This award is for...sharing more about the blogger behind the blog.
The rules...list 10 true things about yourself and then tag 7 more blogs to go through the process.
I had the fortune of receiving this award from more than one party in the past...those kind souls include Jo at Ink and Paper, Patty at Yay! Reads, Ella at Mi Cafe Literario, and Nicole at Tribute Book Reviews & Giveaways.  Thank you one and all!  Now to pass on the honor...oh and remember, no judging on the "truth" reveals...


Ten True Things About Me
1.  I have a hard time saying "no".
As in "no, I don't have time to do that", or "no, that is in fact inconvenient".  Alas, my flaw...I like to help people and do what I can, even when it puts me in a bind at times.  Working on it...slowly.
2.  I love musicals!
Not all, but many.  Yes, that includes Grease, Hairspray, High School Musical, Spectacular, etc.  They are just pure fun and so up beat...how can you not?  (If you don't know about these fun flicks, seriously look them up.)
3.  Favorite color is....light blue.
4.  When I re-read a book from a series, I have to re-read the whole series in order.
5.  I keep most of the books I receive, hence the lack of bookshelf space.
6.  I do actually research a title when offered a copy to review.
Just because it's put on my plate, doesn't mean I'm going to like it and if it doesn't catch my attention, what's the point?  It's not fair to anyone involved.
7.  The Got Books? Event co-hosted by the1stdaughter is the first "major" bookish event I've worked "behind the scenes" of....lots of fun but also lots to do!
8.  Favorite drink....Diet Coke.
Repeat Diet Coke....NOT Diet Pepsi.
9.  I always carry at least two books with me, plus my eReader...just in case I finish one, the other, or need some more material.  (hehe)
10.  My dogs are SPOILED.
Ashley (my Yorkie) has this habit when she's called to go out for "potty time".  You call, she meets you halfway then rolls on her back and will not go out until you pick her up and scoot her through the door.  *shakes head*  So cute, but really...silly puppy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alright!  So there, my ten things.  Probably more than you really wanted to know, but these things are like grasping at straws on what to reveal versus not.  Share any of the same habits?  Care to share something else to make my list look a bit more mundane? The comments are open...just be gentle. 

Now, to the IMPORTANT part...I humbly pass this award on to the following 7 blogs in random order...



I hope you enjoy your awards as much as I have and can't wait to see what "truths" you reveal.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next week, we have two book tours coming through, the following week two more and the Got Books? Event!  So needless to say, lots of bookish fun to be had...
Here's wishing you a great weekend!


Until next time....happy reading!

It's that time again...BLOG AWARDS!

Happy Friday!
The end of another week and you've made it a point (or stumbled across, either way is A-OK) to share a moment of your day with me here at Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.  THANK YOU!  To spread that joy a little bit further, I am passing on an award to some very deserving blogs out there that you simply can't miss (well, you can I suppose, but you really wouldn't want to).
The award I bestow today is...

....Bodacious Blogging Book Reviewers Award!
(Quite a mouthful, but so lovely!)

Just received this beauty the other day from Flo over at Sweet Happy Endings (Thanks, Flo!) and felt compelled to pass it on.  The rules?

If you are given this award you must first accept it by leaving a comment on the post you were nominated on. Then copy and paste the post and add it to your own blog. Make a list of the last 5 books you read and pass the award on to 5 other bloggers (no backsies!). Please also identify the blog from which you got the award and don't forget to tell them they have a blog award!

My Last 5 Books Read
Radiant Shadows by Melissa Marr
Death, Drugs, and Muscle by Gregg Valentino
Fragile Eternity by Melissa Marr
Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr
One of Us by Peggy Moss

Now to the fun part...I present the following with this award and task you each with passing it forward...


Given to each of you for all your "bodacious" posts and the frequency with which you update your site.  Never a dull moment on any of these great blogs, be sure to check them out!
Until next time....happy reading!

Time to Spread the Love: Blog Awards!

Hi, there! *~waves~* Well, what do you know....you've done it!  Another week has come and gone and you are productive as ever!  (Okay, so I am presuming this...you have to be the judge of your own productivity, but let's hear a round of applause for each of you anyway!)  YAY!  Whoo-HOO!  Great job!

This is the first of two posts today (What, you thought I would leave you without 'dessert' a little later?  Nope!) and one that I couldn't wait to share.  Behind every blog, there is the blogger.  The person that dedicates the time they have to giving you an updated site with interesting posts and features to keep your TBR pile full to capacity.  The person that just wants to share what they love with the world and in turn helps to create an online community full of friends.  To each of you, I raise my (imaginary) glass and dedicate this toast (I mean post) as a THANK YOU for all you do.

Now, we all now how much comments make us smile, pause, or even ponder.  Well, awards can do a bit of the same, plus give you a little token of appreciation to decorate your site with!  Recently, I was on the receiving side of two award posts.  The recent additions to the 'Trophy Room' will follow (after these commercial message....just kidding....) BUT so will the people I am passing them on to!  (SURPRISE!)  I've received both of these awards in the past and I am very humbled (ecstatic, over-joyed) to have been considered for them once again, but it is time to share the love and what better time to do that than now!  Here we go!  First award of two received....


Title: Honest Scrap
Received: 01/31/10
From: Patty (Yay! Reads) (Thanks!)
This award is for:
Sharing more about the blogger behind the blog.
The rules:
List 10 true things about yourself and then tag 7 more blogs to go through the process.

--------------------------------------------------------

*gulp* Okay, 10 true things about myself...*gulp*

  1. I'm an avid reader. (Okay so that's a given, but really, there is rarely a time that I don't have a book with me.)

  2. I'm actually a fairly shy person.  (I have to get to know you before I open up, but once I do...watch out!  Just kidding!  I just get a little more talkative, that's all.)

  3. When I started my blog, I wasn't sure anyone would read it.  (Probably a truth shared by most bloggers when they first start, but a truth nonetheless.)

  4. When I was little, I wanted to be a doctor.  (Now, I'd rather be in publishing.  Anyone need an Editorial Assistant?)

  5. Friends, coworkers, even strangers....ask me for advice on some wide ranging things....even when I have no experience with them!  (I swear, it's like I have an 'ask lucy' sticker on my forehead.)

  6. My go to fashion staple....khaki pants.  (No joke.  I love the ones I get from the Gap and they just go with everything!)

  7. My weekend fashion staple.....jeans. (Yep, I don't get to wear them most other times, so unless I'm going somewhere they are appropriate for, jeans it is.)

  8. The really funny pages from my daily calendar are saved for an emergency 'chuckle' should the need arise.

  9. I'm originally from Pennsylvania.  (...and I am very jealous of everyone up that way that is getting snow!)

  10. Every time I get a Twitter alert that "so and so is following you", I catch myself saying "who are you" like the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland.  (I can't help it!  It just comes out...)
-------------------------------------------------

Hello?  Are you still there?  For those I didn't run off with my 'truths', it is now time for me to bestow the embarrassm....I mean HONOR to 7 of YOU!  In to particular order, the recipients are...

Danielle @ There's A Book
PettyWitter @ Pen and Paper
Book Chick City @ Book Chick City
Anna @ Book Nerds

---------------------------------------------------------
This one is easy-peasy to accept and pass along.  My 15 picks for this beautiful award are not all BRAND new to me, but definitely award worthy...in no particular order....

Time to Share Some Blog Love!

Is it just me, or is it staying colder longer than usual this year?  I mean don't get me wrong, I'd MUCH rather be too cold than too warm (and down here, it usually runs the later), but still....this is probably the first year we've been down here that it has stayed THIS cold for THIS long!  **puts hands in front of portable heater** (Yes, a little Bob Cratchit, but hey, they have to defrost in order to type!)

With the cold wind blowing and the holidays (most of them) come and gone, I figured it's time to share some blog love with some of the great sites (and people!) I've encountered in this community.  Of course, it helped to remind me that I haven't shared any recently when Jo (Ink and Paper AND Once Upon A Bookcase) sent me two awards yesterday (THANKS!), which I am now proudly displaying.  (If you haven't yet, stop over and check her site out!  She is a fellow book blogger who focuses more on fantasy book reviews ...definitely some good adds to be had for your wish list!) 

The award I choose to bestow today came to me last year from Nicole over at WORD FOR TEENS (Thanks, again!).  It's a rather interesting award, if I do say so myself, as it celebrates one of the things that we bloggers hold dear...comments!  Here we go....the award I am passing on today is....


[DragonLoyaltyAward.jpg]
....the Dragon Loyalty Award!
This award is awarded to those followers who are the most loyal and give bloggers joy by commenting regularly and with their support.  The rules are to pass it on to 3-7 followers who are as loyal as dragons.

MY AWARD RECIPIENTS ARE:

The1stdaughter @ There's A Book
Clevery Inked @ Cleverly Inked


THANK YOU to each of you for your considerate comments on even my must mundane posts.  They always bring a smile to my face and who doesn't need a smile nowadays!
If you haven't had a chance to check out these lovely folks, I'd highly recommend it!

Until next time....happy reading!

It's the Spirit of the Season!

Hi there!  Just wanted to say thank you for visiting and welcome to the site!  A quick update on the happenings....while future book tours and interviews are in the works, we currently have a contest running to win a copy of the YA title The Brain Finds a Leg by Martin Chatterton.  Entries accepted through 12/11/09 midnight CST...so be sure to stop by, check the review, read the author interview, and enter for your chance to win!  Moving on....

With the holiday season upon us, a funny thing happens.  We see a larger outpouring of well wishing and good cheer...almost to pandemic proportions.  That's not a bad thing, but I do wish it could last the whole year through.  (don't you?)  Those good vibrations (sorry, Beach Boys, but I had to use the phrase) put you in such a happy place...as does receiving a blog award which yours truly recently did!  This past weekend, I was lucky enough to receive the Over the Top Award from fellow awesome book blogger, Jo over at Once Upon a Bookcase.  (Thanks, Jo!)



Isn't it pretty?

In the spirit of giving (and receiving), I am now going to bestow MY very FIRST AWARD to 10 special followers.....(breath in, breath out, breath in....here goes nothing...)  Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers (umm...okay, me really) would like to continue the life of the very first award I received from (ironically enough) Jo over at her (other) blog Ink and Paper!  The award I am passing on today is....


...the Humane Award!
This award is to honor certain bloggers that are kindhearted individuals. They regularly take part in my blog and always leave the sweetest comments. If it wasn't for them, my site would just be an ordinary book review blog. Their blogs are also amazing and are tastefully done on a daily (or close to) basis. I thank them and look forward to our growing friendship through the blog world.
Rule:  Nominate 10 bloggers you feel deserve the Humane Award. 

Here is my list of recipients for this wonderful award:


Thank you to each of you for visiting and commenting on my blog with the frequency that you do!  They definitely brings a smile to my face each time I read them.  If you have not checked out their sites yet, what are you waiting for?  (No seriously, each name is linked to the site for easy access.)

So I will close for now with a happy heart and a skip in my step...hoping that each of you reading this have the same honor of receiving or giving a little blog love soon...




Until next time....happy reading!

The Insatiable Reader's Trophy Room


Welcome to my virtual Trophy Room.  (Okay, so it's more of a wall than a room, but I prefer the room concept so we're going with that.....)  So as not to add to my sidebar on the main pages and allow you, the reader, easier navigation on the site, I will update this post with awards received from the beautiful book blogging community at large.  The most recent will be shown on my sidebar, but the rest will find a home here, where I can always stop by for a pick me up if having a blue day.  (If you are one of those that passed an award on to me, THANK YOU for adding to this feel good "room"!)  Feel free to browse around and have a wonderful day!

Title:  Memetastic Award
Received:  01/28/11
From:  Marcie @ To Read or Not To Read

This award is for...
...umm, it's kind of unclear but I think it's mainly to spread a smile across the miles and see just how far one award can travel.  For more insight, check the rules that follow...

Rules:
(These are word for word from the original author's post.  For their content, do not blame me...I am merely the recipient and messenger.  ^_^)
“1. You must proudly display the absolutely disgusting graphic that I have created for these purposes (put it in your post, you don’t have to put it in your sidebar, I think that would seriously be asking too much). It’s so bad that not only did I use COMIC SANS, but there’s even a little jumping, celebrating kitten down there at the bottom. It’s horrifying! But its presence in your award celebration is crucial to the memetastic process we’re creating here. If you need a higher resolution version… I totally have one!!

2. You must list 5 things about yourself, and 4 of them must be bold-faced lies. Just make some shit up, we’ll never know; one of them has to be true, though. Of course, nobody will ever know the difference, so we’re just on the honor system here. I trust you. Except for the 4 that you lied about, you lying bastards! But don’t go crazy trying to think of stuff, you’ll see by the example I’ve set below that we’re not really interested in quality here.
3. You must pass this award on to 5 bloggers that you either like or don’t like or don’t really have much of an opinion about. I don’t care who you pick, and nobody needs to know why. I mean, you can give a reason if you want, but I don’t really care.
4. If you fail to follow any of the above rules, I will hunt you down and harass you incessantly until you either block me on Twitter or ban my IP address from visiting your blog. I don’t know if you can actually do that last thing, but I will become so annoying to you that you will actually go out and hire an IT professional to train you on how to ban IP addresses just so that I’ll leave you alone. I’m serious. I’m going to do these things.
5. This one isn’t actually a rule, but once you do the above, please come back here and link up to the Memetastic Hop so that I can keep track of where this thing goes.”

Title:  Worth Your Weight in a 'Gator Battle Award
Received:  02/18/11
From:  Alexia at Alexia's Books and Such


This award...
...was created in honor of (at least according to them) the real stars from “Alien Tango”. No, not Katherine “Kitty” Katt or Jeff Martini. Alliflash and Gigantagator, Alligators Extraordinaire!

The “Worth Your Weight in a ‘Gator Battle Award” is only given to the wily, the brave, and the cheeky, so get down with your bad self, you’re deemed worthy to run with the A-C’s!
Now you get to spread the awesome by nominating other bloggers who would also be worth their weight in a ‘gator battle. Battling ‘gators is not for sissies or wimps -- only the strong survive -- so choose wisely!

Rules...
1.Slap the graphic on your blog post.

2.Give link props to the person who gave you the award (don’t rile a ‘gator fighter -- it’s dangerous).
3.Spread the awesome and nominate five (5) other bloggers who you think will be worth their weight in a ‘gator battle.
4.Let the recipients know they’ve won this honor on their blogs.
