Book Blogger Appreciation Week (BBAW) has arrived!
And the theme for today is: Community
"While the awards are a fun part of BBAW, they can never accurately represent the depth and breadth of diversity in the book blogging community. Today you are encouraged to highlight a couple of bloggers that have made book blogging a unique experience for you."
For me, the words "blogging" and "community" means my kidlitosphere peeps. I wish so badly that I was going to be at Kidlitcon in Seattle next weekend... I can hardly think of anything I'd rather do than bask in the company of wonderful people who want to talk passionately and intelligently about children's books!
If I were to start listing all the children's book bloggers who have made a difference to my own blogging, it would go on forever. So I shall just give all my co-kidlitophere bloggers a collective "thanks so much for being such a great community!"
If you want to find out more about this thing called "the kidlitosphere," just click through! There is a Yahoo Group, where we ask each other blog questions and chat about our blogging lives, there's the annual conference--"kidlitcon", and a list of member blogs that cover every single aspect of children's books!
(when you look at that picture, does the circle have a crazed smile, which is what I see, or do you see the image as its creator intended--two people reading????)

ReplyDeleteTECHNICALLY it could be a face... but with a very weird nose!!
Ha, I see a crazy face, but then if I squint a little I get the two people reading.
ReplyDeleteI saw the crazy face at first glance, but it turned into two readers after I stared at it for a bit. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't see the face at all, just the readers. Does this mean I lack the crazy? :)
ReplyDeleteI personally would rather not be seeing the face, Melissa! So I think you are the lucky one....

I'm so grateful for the kidlitosphere community too - just wish I could hang out with some of my fellow members in person (preferably at a bookshop!)
