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. They can be your mentors, a blogger that encouraged you to try a different kind of book, opened your eyes to a new issue, made you laugh when you needed it, or left the first comment you ever got on your blog. Stay positive and give back to the people who make the community work for you!
This is always a hard thing to do as there are so many bloggers out there to recognize! I've thought about this prompt for a couple of days and have decided to give a shout out to those bloggers that encouraged me to read a book this year that has found it's way on my favorite reads list. I read quite a few books because bloggers have recommended them, but these have been exceptional!!

Sara Pekkanen is so amazing - I am so glad you loved that book and what a great way to do this first day of BBAW post!
Great list! I like the addition of blogger recommended books.
Reading a book recommended by a blogger and enjoying it is a total bonus for sure.
great way to recognize those who have sent a good book your way.

I'm so thrilled that you loved The Winter Sea as much as I did!! Yay!!!
Great post, :nise and a wonderful way to highlight bloggers and books!
I haven't read anything by Patrick Ness yet and that is something I hope to do soon. Not sure he's my taste but I think I should try him out! Your enthusiasm reminds me to move on this!

I need to keep better track of what book bloggers are responsible for adding to my wish list!
It's nice to be part of the book blogging community where one becomes aware of so many great books and so many wonderful people. Even though I seldom comment on your reviews (hey, you can only say 'great review' in so many ways) I do enjoy reading them and often select books from your recommendations.
I'm going to go check out all these bloggers- thanks for the list!
