Award: The Encouraging Thunder Award

The Encouraging Thunder Award

I was nominated for this away by Angel @ Angel Erin's Book Obsession. Thank you angel for nominating me! Like you, my blog is still in it's infancy so this means a lot to be recognized! Alright everyone, let's get down to business!

 Rules:
  1. Thank your nominator.
  2. Display the logo.
  3. Talk about your purpose in blogging.
  4. Nominate others.


I have a post where I delve into why I blog here. I will list those below plus add some more, the first 3 are from my previous post. 
    1. I LOVE reading- I guess this goes without saying but I'll say it anyway. Reading enriches people's lives so much, and I am always happy to spread the word about great books. Books can really make a HUGE difference in our lives, and I believe there is a book out there for everyone, I want to help you find it! 
    2. Connecting with other passionate readers/bloggers- There's nothing like connecting with fellow readers & bloggers. I find it's hard (not impossible) for me to find other's in my daily day-to-day life who have the same interest as me, so connecting with you all is super fun & exciting!
    3. Writing- For me blogging is my creative outlet, I know I haven't been blogging very long (since June 2015) but I feel enlivened and energized when I blog! In the past if I worked a lot of hours I'd feel super tired, now I have something fun & exciting to look forward to! I may not be very good at it (YET) but I believe practice makes perfect! 
    4. I want to be a part of the book community - Okay, I'm going to be perfectly honest. I've thought about starting a blog for years now, since around 2010. Looking back I think I was overwhelmed looking at other blogger's blogs. I mean, how could I compete with all these amazing blogs?!? I am so glad I finally got the gumption to create my blog! For all your readers out there that is thinking of blogging, try it! Yes it is a LOT of work at times, but if you love doing it it won't feel like work, I promise! 
    5. It's fun! - Like I mentions above, blogging is fun! Anything you do, if you love it you will find tons of enjoyment out of it. For me, there's nothing like cracking open a new book and knowing I will be posting my review and helping readers and bloggers find something new to read! I get really excited towards the end of a book I'm reading, I just can't wait to write down my feelings! Looking back at my Goodreads page, I wonder why I didn't write reviews for books I read. 
    Alright, now it's time for my nominations for The Encouraging Thunder Award!

      Thanks so much for nominating me! After reading this post I can see you're the kind of person who ends up blogging for such a long while because you have so much motivation. I can't believe you have been wanting to do it for so long and didn't do it until now! I do hope you keep on doing it and enjoying it as much as you seem to at the moment.

    by Julia Quinn
    {Review & Giveaway}

    While you were sleeping...  With her brother Thomas injured on the battlefront in the Colonies, orphaned Cecilia Harcourt has two unbearable choices: move in with a maiden aunt or marry a scheming cousin. Instead, she chooses option three and travels across the Atlantic, determined to nurse her brother back to health. But after a week of searching, she finds not her brother but his best friend, the handsome officer Edward Rokesby. He's unconscious and in desperate need of her care, and Cecilia vows that she will save this soldier's life, even if staying by his side means telling one little lie... I told everyone I was your wife  When Edward comes to, he's more than a little confused. The blow to his head knocked out six months of his memory, but surely he would recall getting married. He knows who Cecilia Harcourt is—even if he does not recall her face—and with everyone calling her his wife, he decides it must be true, even though he'd always assumed he...
