BBAW Best Book Blogging Event

Today marked the first day of Book Blogger Appreciation Week, another fantastic event that each of you are most likely participating in. As organizers for Armchair BEA we were thrilled to see our event make the short list and today's announcement thrilled each of us quite nearly beyond words. 



Thank you so much to each of you as well as those who helped organize, sponsor and all of the various other behind the scenes work that made Armchair BEA what it was! Our little event began back in May of 2010 and we would have never imagined the response we've received since then. It certainly wouldn't be the event it was without all of the amazing book bloggers (YOU!) who participated.

On behalf of all the organizers, thank you for your continued support and for making Armchair BEA the event it is!
