Really Random Tuesday #35: Winner of Zan-Gah Books, and BBAW

Prehistoric fiction was new to me until fairly recently, and now it has me completely captivated. I believe that Patti, the lucky winner of a set of three Zan-Gah books by Allan Richard Shickman, Zan-Gah: A Prehistoric Adventure, Zan-Gah and the Beautiful Country, and Dael and the Painted People, will feel the same way. This set of books is unique and very enjoyable to read. Congratulations, Patti!

If you didn't win these books, you may be tempted to enter the other book giveaways listed on the side of my blog.

Book Blogger Appreciation Week is here, September 12 - September 16. I haven't done much in this regard yet, except to read a few of the related posts of others. To be honest, I took a bit of a hiatus from blogging, and am having a hard time catching up. But, BBAW is a great way to meet new book bloggers, and to show appreciation for "old" book blogger friends as well (make new friends, but keep the old. . . ). I know a great deal of effort went into the planning of BBAW, and I'll hopefully participate in an activity (meme?) or two this week. What are your favorite activities during BBAW?

Really Random Tuesday #34: The Gap Year Winner, and BBAW 2011

Congratulations to Tiffany Drew, the winner of The Gap Year, a new novel by Sarah Bird that I thoroughly enjoyed. My daughter (who chose the winning name from a hat) is reading the book now, and she seems to really like it as well.

If you didn't win this book giveaway, don't despair! I have other book giveaways listed on the right side of my blog, and many more on the way.

Who do we appreciate?

You may have noticed the banners on various book blogs recently. Book Blogger Appreciation Week (BBAW) is almost here! Created in 2008 by Amy Riley from My Friend Amy, this year it will be held from September 12 - September 16. BBAW is a chance to meet other book bloggers who share a love of books and the joy of reading. It only takes a few moments to register for BBAW, and there are numerous activities planned, such as giveaways, interviews, guest posts, awards, and more. It should be a lot of fun.
