BBAW 2012 Day 1: Appreciate!

It's Day 1 of Book Blogger Appreciation Week! Today we're showing appreciation for some of our favorite book blogs. I had a really hard time picking just a couple to highlight as there are so many good book blogs that I read on a constant basis.

I've found a lot of kindred spirits in the book blogging world. These people have become friends! That's what's so cool about book blogging; there truly is a community out there! So first off, if you are reading this, you are my friend and I appreciate you guys so much!!! I would copy and paste my entire Google Reader list but that would be absolutely ridiculously tl;dr.

There are a couple blogs that I want to highlight though :

Bibliophile By The Sea - I came to know Diane through her meme: First Chapter, First Paragraph. She's an awesome lady who seems to make me add an awful lot to my TBR list.

Kill Me If I Stop - Okay, confession time: I'm scared of classics. I have so many that I want to read but I am really, really intimidated by many of them. KMIIS reads mostly classics and has shown me that I shouldn't be so scared!!!

Passages to the Past - Historical Fiction is probably my most beloved genre. There is almost nothing I love more than getting sucked into a good historical story. Amy at Passages to the Past supplies me with the latest on all things Historical Fiction and I love every second of it.

The Book Garden - Anne is another lady that has very similar reading taste to me. If she likes a book, I know that I'm probably going to like the book. Here's another one that makes my TBR grow by leaps and bounds.

Write Meg - Meg is a fellow Meg and a fellow Marylander (two good things in my book). Not only does she have really good taste in books but her blog is filled with gorgeous photos and interesting musings that have a tendency to make me nod in agreement.

What book bloggers do you want to show appreciation for?
