Thoughts about reading fiction, nonfiction, & children's books, new & old
Weekly Geeks this week is about telling fellow readers about your favorite book blogs. Then I was awarded the Premios Dardo award (also called the Primo Darios Award) by three different bloggers: Tuesday in Silhouette, Rose City Reader, and Jackets and Covers. So I better get busy telling you my favorites!
This award “acknowledges the values that every blogger shows in his or her effort to transmit cultural, ethical, literary, and personal values every day.”
Well, I try to!
I could turn around and give this award to those who gave it to me. I could list my entire blogroll. I’ve mentioned some of my favorite blogs before. I’m going to share 15 blogs I haven’t shared before. So without further ado, here are fifteen blogs I haven’t mentioned before who write and read good stuff.
I’ll have a winner for my giveaway tomorrow. And I’m feeling a little reading burnout, so I may or may not have another review by the end of the week. (Do you ever get that?)

I definitely get reading burnout. That’s when I watch movies or TV or do something crafty or try a really elaborate recipe. Usually after a few days I’m ready to go back to books!

Thank you for including me in your list! I’m very, very flattered.
And I get reading burnout too. When I do, I just need to take a break from reading and/or blogging. After a few days, I’m usually back to books.

How exciting to see myself on this list! I consider your blog a “must-visit.” If I ever get burnt out from reading books, then I usually end up watching movies based on books. I do have a couple of DVDs of Smallville waiting to watch. I’ve never watched it before and it seems like something I would like. It will cut into my reading time though, especially if I get addicted!

So, last night, I watched some of the A&E Pride and Prejudice….It’s making me want to reread the book, but it is a nice break from reading!
