Butterfly Award

I am pleased to announce that Inkweaver Review has been given The Butterfly Award over at The Road I'm Travelling. As you can see from the image, this worthy award is "for the coolest blog I ever know." I'm certainly glad that Page McManus thinks my book review blog is cool.

As you may already know, this award is traditionally granted to ten other blogs, but as is always the case with me, I would rather extend the award to just one blog that I really like. Of course, this makes it slightly more difficult to choose my favorite blog, but I think that Book Calendar, by a New York librarian, is one blog that is definitely worthy.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Carol Denbow for featuring Inkweaver Review as part of her Twelve Days of Christmas for Writers, Poets, Authors, and Book Lovers.

Bookworm Meme!

Inkweaver Review has been tagged for the Bookworm Meme, by Book Calendar. Thanks for the mention!

Here's how the meme works:

"Open the book closest to you, not your favorite or most intellectual book, but the book closest to you at the moment, to page 56.

Write out the fifth sentence, as well as two to five sentences following there."

Okay, since I have huge stack of books right next to my desk let me select one of them I recently read...

Right there on the stack, is "The Neverending Story," by Michael Ende.

"These, as he had been told, were giants and giantesses, who themselves looked like gnarled tree trunks. As long as they stood motionless, as they usually did, you could easily mistake them for trees and ride on unsuspectingly. Only when they moved could you see that they had branchlike arms and crooked, rootlike legs. Though exceedingly powerful, they were not dangerous - at most they liked to play tricks on travelers who had lost their way."

Now I must pass this meme on to five other worthy blogs. I will try to avoid choosing a blog that has already been tagged.

• Poeartica
• My Reading Nook
• Carolina Z
• The Road I'm Travelling
• Library at the End of the Universe
