Liebster Blog Award

~ Jennifer @ The Relentless Reader ~ 9 Comments

Thanks to Rebecca from Love at First Book for nominating me for a Liebster…you’re a dollface! I think I may have been nominated for something along these lines when I first started my blog but I’m too lazy to look so you’ll just have to take my word for it.

The rules for this blog award are as follows:

1.  Post 11 random facts about yourself
2.  Answer 11 questions given by the blogger who nominated you
3.  Nominate other bloggers for the award and make sure to notify them
4.  Write 11 new questions for the bloggers you are nominating (you can’t nominate the blogger who nominated you)
5.  Claim the “Liebster Award” photo for your blog

11 Random Facts:

  4. Biggest virtue: Aw jeez, I don’t wanna toot my own horn. Humble! I’m humble! Ha!
  5. Favorite food: Mexican

  7. Best place to shop: I’m not a big shopper but I do love me some Target
  8. Favorite vacation spot: It’s not exotic but I love being at my mom’s cabin
  9. Favorite website (doesn’t have to be a blog): If I’m not on Facebook or Twitter I’m usually reading The Huffington Post
  10. Your go-to when you’re sad: Bubblebath, whatever book I’m reading and chocolate once again

Other Blog Business:
I’ve joined the Readers’ Workouts. I’ve been semi-successful this week.

Want to see what my mom made me? It’s the best bookish present ever. 

This week was the slowest I’ve had in a long while. I’m mourning, along with the rest of the world, for the victims of the shooting that took place in Newtown, Connecticut. I can’t wrap my mind around what happened. Senseless and evil. I hope they find a way to heal. My heart hurts for everyone involved.
