Well, I'm surprised. Actually, I don't think that quite covers the joy and wonder and excitement when I checked my email and saw that I have been nominated for a Book Blogger Appreciation Award! Because, it comes from you, my dear Gentle Readers. Someone out there nominated me in the category of Best Speculative Fiction Blog (ie Fantasy/Horror/Sci-fi/Spec-Fic). I have to confess here that for the first time, I participated in the nomination process this year and nominated someone else for the same award! as well as for most of the other categories.....It was fun, and I was delighted to be able to show my appreciation for the hard work so many of you put into blogging and making your posts enjoyable to read. My only problem was, I wanted to nominated ALL OF YOU, each and every blog on my blogroll, and of course there aren't enough categories for that! So whoever you are, dear Reader, thank you!!
And for Amy at My Friend Amy, the main host of Book Blogger Appreciation Week - a big thank you for her hard work last year during the first Appreciation Awards, and even more this year, because I think it's gotten bigger and more popular.
I was going to do a book review of Persuasion, but I'm too excited. I'll do the review later.

Lezlie
Congratulations!!
Congratulations and well deserved. The Bears are having a celebratory party. But then you know those Bears - any excuse to let their fur down.
congratulations!! it's always nice to be noticed ...and we notice you.
That's wonderful; congratulations. I hope you win!!!
Congratulations, Susan! It's definitely deserved :)
Wonderful news, Susan. My heartfelt congratulations!
Kaye: thank you very much, for saying it's deserved! I appreciate that. Mostly, I love comments to my posts!
Molly: lol, thank you! I know you have enjoyed all the science fiction I write about here! lol I look forward to the final voting too....but the real joy is talking books with everyone.
Lezlie: thank you!
Cathy: thanks!
Table Talk: tell the Bears I send them a big hug and if I could get some yummy Canadian honey over there, I would...and thanks for saying it's deserved. I appreciate that!
Deslily: thank you! *aw shucks* to being noticed, though! lol
Bybee: thank you! I don't know if I should hope for the win, because I know I nominated someone more worthy in the same category! lol do you suppose that's how all the big book award winners feel, standing before their peers?
Nymeth: thank you so much, especially for saying it's deserved! You, and everyone here, so deserve an award too! I really mean that. It's really an honour to get recognized by other bloggers.
Jane: thank you so much! It's funny, but thinking about the category I was nominated in, I was writing about what I loved. It's even better if I helped readers who had never read science fiction or fantasy, take their first steps into reading it, because of a post I wrote. Then we all win :-D
Now to convince everyone that Jane Austen is funny and delightful to read!
Yaaaay! Well done! :-)
Yay for getting nominated! I got one for graphic novels which I must post about this weekend. Fingers crossed for you...
well done Susan
