I’m a Zombie Chicken!

I’ve been wanting to say that for over 24 hours now. I discovered late on Wednesday night that Cathy at Kittling Books had awarded me this wonderful little blog award, as well as the 2009 Friendly Blogger Award, and I was very excited.

I mean, how many times do I ever get to say, I’m a Zombie Chicken? Seriously.

Then, as luck would have it, I woke up the next day with a stomach bug, and was out of commission for much of the day. I did the un-Zombie Chicken-like thing and stayed in bed, a little pity party all my own. But today I’m raring to go, because, after all, I’m a Zombie Chicken.

Of course, I rather shamelessly begged Cathy for the Zombie Chicken award. But I did win the 2009 Friendly Blogger Award upfront without any shenanigans on my part. No, really, cross my heart, that’s the truth.

Now that I’ve come clean about my behind-the-screens begging, here’s what the Zombie Chicken award is all about (and no raised eyebrows please, since I’ve already explained how this came into my possession. Cathy is a most gracious blogger, thank goodness.)

“The blogger who receives this award believes in the Tao of the zombie chicken – excellence, grace and persistence in all situations, even in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. These amazing bloggers regularly produce content so remarkable that their readers would brave a raving pack of zombie chickens just to be able to read their inspiring words. As a recipient of this world-renowned award, you now have the task of passing it on to at least 5 other worthy bloggers. Do not risk the wrath of the zombie chickens by choosing unwisely or not choosing at all…"

I’m also mega-tickled about the 2009 Friendly Blogger Award. I’ve only been blogging here for about six months, and from the very start I’ve been so amazed at the friendliness of the book blogging community.

Truly, it’s been like discovering a group of book lovers right in my own backyard, minus the ability to get together physically. I’ve come to know so many wonderful book bloggers, and their recommendations have contributed greatly to my reading adventures.

Last summer, I remember being in such a desultory state because I had just finished up some stunning series or other, and couldn’t find anything else to read. Even cruising online at Amazon didn’t help. Going to the library produced feelings of “same old, same old”. But nowadays, my cup runneth over. And it’s because of this big, beautiful, generous and loving book blogging community.

Without any further ado (since I seem to have gone on at length already anyway), I’d like to pass these awards onto the following five bloggers. It was tough choosing, since I know and love so many book bloggers! But I love all of these blogs, some of which I’ve only discovered recently, and want very much to spread the love (not to mention Zombie Chicken goodness):

Eva at A Striped Armchair

Diane at The Book Resort

FleurFisher

Dawn at She is Too Fond of Books

Enjoy, everyone!
