A very nice blogger friend has tagged me for this award. A big thank you to Aloi over at guiltless reading. I am always amazed by the kindness that my online friends have shown me since I began LadyD Books. I'd like to share some information about this special award because I may be passing it on to some of you!
The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers with less than 200 followers ... and is a sneaky way to get to know the person behind the blog. So, you can see I qualify and love each and every one of my dear readers!
From what has been shared with me, I now know that Liebster is a German word which means sweetest, kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing and welcome. (Awh, thanks so much Aloi!)
Here are the rules:
- Each person must post 1 fact about themselves
- Answer 11 questions the tagger has given you and give 11 questions for the people you've tagged.
- Choose 11 people and link them in your post. Tell them you've tagged them.
- Remember, no tag backs.
Here are my Questions from Aloi of guiltless reading.
- Aside from books, what else are you interested in?
- Why did you decide to start blogging about books and reading? How are you finding it so far?
- Bestest, the most favourite book you've ever read? Why?
- E-book, paperback, hardbound? Why?
- What childhood book do you credit for getting you started as a "real" reader?
- Most memorable literary character?
- What genre are you most happy/comfortable reading?
- Do you ever get a "hangover" from over-reading? What does it feel like?
- What do you like to eat or drink while reading?
- What book intimidates/scares you most ... but you would still like to read?
- Choose one question from the many questions already asked of me ... and answer!

Thanks for the award. It may take me awhile to pass the award on...so many persons required, which is a challenge, in that many blogs are "award free" zones. But thanks....
ReplyDeleteI also thank you for the award, Lady D, but my blog is one of those "award free" zones. I just don't have enough time to keep up with awards and visiting so many blogs.
ReplyDeleteOh what fun! Love that your "hangover" is sleep :P That just made me laugh! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this lovely award! Much appreciated--what a fun way to connect with friends. I'll be working on the answers to the questions this weekend. In the meantime, Happy Summer and Happy Creating! Thanks again.
