A vote of confidence - Thanks!
Thank you Cathy, author of the Reflect and Refine blog, for recognizing me as a Versatile Blogger!This recognition comes with responsibilities, namely the following three:
1. Thank the person (people) who nominated you and provide a link back to their blog.2. Share 7 things about you.
3. Pass this award along to 15 other blogs that you have discovered and notify them of their nomination.
So, check to #1.
Seven things about me (as a reader):
1. My first ‘big persons’ book I read was Beautiful Joe by Margaret Marshall Saunders. I was in grade 5.
2. Bill Bryson is one of my all-time-favorite authors.
3. I prefer foreign films with subtitles rather than dubbing into English.
4. Dav Pilkey’s Dragon series of books inspired me to try making a paper mache version of Dragon for my niece when she was about 4.
5. I ran book clubs for children (of various ages) and their parents for a number of years at Monkeyshines Children’s Books bookstore.
6. I haven’t finished the Harry Potter series. Only got to book number 3.
7. I love the Dolch readers when I was in early elementary school. They turned me onto reading myths and legends from different countries. However, these are NOT my favorite books any longer. I never recommend them even though there are few of them in the Doucette Library.
Ok, #2 taken care of.

1. Myra at Gathering Books

I know not everyone likes getting blog awards so, to all you nominees, do as you will, just know that your writing is appreciated. If you’ve been previously nominated -- Congratulations, again! This has been an opportunity for me to send out a note of appreciation for the writing you do and let you know that I learn a lot from each of you. It will also introduce new readers to your blogs, too.

Tammy,
Thank you for the nomination. I'm honored to be part of your list.
By the way, Bill Bryson is a favorite of mine as well.
Pleasure has been mine, Roberta. And don't get me started about how much I like Bill Bryson ...(image of squealing girly fan...eek!)
Tammy
Thank you for the nomination and the kind words, Tammy.
For the record, I also LOVE Bill Bryson, and I actually got through book #4 of Haryy Potter before trailing off.
Have a great day!
Thanks for stopping by, Sterg.
Nice to meet another BB fan.
Tammy
Hi Tammy. So honored to receive this award. Many many many thanks.
Thank you so much for this honor :D
By the way, I saw that you read and liked Bamboo People. I thought it was a wonderful story, I'm a big fan of Mitali Perkins. Thanks for spotlighting the book! I think it would be really fun to run a book club (and challenging-but in a good way)
You're very welcome, Myra. It has been my pleasure to become acquainted with your blog.
Tammy
I'm glad you stopped by, Ari. I've enjoyed reading your blog very much over the last couple of years.
Have you read Secret Keeper by Mitali Perkins? That's been on my to-read list for a while.
Tammy
