Book Blogger Appreciation Week – Best Romance Blog

September 15, 2010 by Mandi 48 Comments

Book Blogger Appreciation Week announced yesterday that Smexy Books won Best Romance Book Blog. Wooo and Hooo! *throws confetti and opens a box of wine for all*

Before I go any further I have to say a huge addition to Smexy this year has been Tori. It’s funny, when I asked for reviewers many months ago, Tori emailed me back (along with many others) and I had never spoken to her before – at least I don’t think so. I felt the example review she sent me just fit at Smexy so well. So over the past few months we have really gotten to know each other and she has enhanced Smexy so much. She has been reading romance and UF for a long time – I swear there is not a series that goes by that she hasn’t read. I am in awe of her reading skills and I truly appreciate the commitment she has to this blog. She works her butt off – if you could get a glimpse of our review schedule spreadsheet, the word “done” is listed next to many of her assigned books. I wish I could say the same for me ;) So thank you Tori!

I also want give a shout-out to Fiction Vixen and Gossamer Obsessions for being my fellow nominees. Blogs I visit all the time that are awesome!!

Thanks for the votes and to the members of BBAW who put all the hard work into this event :) And most of all, thanks to the readers! You guys rock – you make me laugh (<—my favorite thing to do) and I have the best time talking books here. So thank you.

    I love your blog, you and Tori. I peruse the JR Ward section on a weekly basis, regardless if anything new has been added or not…I don't care, I stalk it like a mad woman.

    I brought more wine, just in case we run out. CHEERS! *clink*
