My Nominations for the Third Annual 2019 Book Blogger Awards

May over on Forever and Everly is hosting the Third Annual 2019 Book Blogger Awards, originally created by Joce of Write Through the Night. I didn't know about the awards the previous two years, but it's such a fantastic idea, and I can't not nominate my faves!

Fortunately we're allowed three nominations per category, otherwise I'd be in big trouble with some categories, trying to choose just one. There are a number of categories I've not nominated in simply because I just couldn't choose just three. There are a few who I just adore, and I can't not nominate at least a couple of times for different categories. So here are my nominations!

Four New-to-Me Blogs I Love

When it comes to other blogs, there aren't that many that I read regularly. I will pretty much read every single post Cait of Paper Fury posts, and have done for a number of years now, but otherwise, I don't really read that many. As I explained in my post How Do You Keep Organised as a Book Blogger?, working various different shift patterns on different days each week makes it difficult to be organised. Around my shifts, I have to find time to read (but I'm also not a fast reader), to write my posts, on top of everyday life stuff, and it's hard. I'm trying to be more organised, and it's working some, but as it is, I still struggle to reply to and return comments I receive. With having to fit all that in, it's difficult to find time to read other blogs, too.

So with that in mind, when I do find the time to read other blogs, they've got to be blogs I really enjoy. However, over the last few weeks, I've been really fortunate enough to stumble over a few blogs that are right up my street, and ones I now visit when I get the chance. Despite loving these blogs, I have to say I am a huge lurker. Though I may find the time here and there to read these blogs, I don't necessarily have the time to comment on all the posts I want to. So I thought I would share some love by spotlighting them on my own blog! So here are the new to me blogs that I'm loving.
