Award

I received the One Lovely Blog award from two people: Ottilie Weber, who is an author and owns a lovely blog herself, and Brittany who has a fantastic site too. Thanks to both of you for thinking about me and passing on this award...
I will be passing it on to 15 other people (difficult, but let's manage somehow) and the list is below. If anyone is wondering why I'm writing this way (unlike my usual gushing style) it's because I'm still down. Really down. Guess I need one of Jeeves' magic pick-me-ups or something, because I've just about been moping around for days and am feeling pathetic about myself. Ah, well. Things should work out sometime. Till then, I'll write poetry.
(If you want to check out one of my down-in-the-dumps-please-pick-me-up poem, it's over here)
Anyway, this award HAS perked me up a little and I thank the two great bloggers who thought of me. I love you guys.
RULES
You have to thank and link back to the person who gave you this award.
You have to pass this to 15 other people. Don't think bad of me because I'm not passing to 15 people. I found 8 so far, and I will find the other 7 very soon. I'm just getting a really awful headache. Sorry.

1) Twilight and Other Dreams
2)Beyond Twilight
3)Universe in Words
4)Paperback Treasures

    Hi, there! Thank you so much for giving me this award!! I feel very honored, because it's coming from someone who has a VERY lovely blog herself!!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your new blog header!!!!! It's SO VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!! I LOVED the previous one, too, but this one is equally awesome! I'm SO glad you didn't use that green one you showed on your blog, some time back. This one is much, much BETTER!!!! YAY!!!

    Also, I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling down. I hope you cheer up, especially after reading this comment. I know what it's like to feel down. I get those moods, too, pretty often, let me tell you. I think it's the price of creativity... the more creative a person is, the more sensitive they are to other people's moods, to negative events, as well as, of course, to the beauty all around, the love of others....but I do hope you start to feel better soon!

    You know what I do a lot of times, when I'm feeling down? I buy a book, or books! Of course, I also buy books when I'm NOT feeling down. I guess I don't need much of an excuse to buy a book...lol. But I have bought a lot of the ones in my collection during "down times". So I have quite a large collection now, which means I have felt sad pretty often in my life...

    Now that I have a blog, that does help me to feel more cheerful.

    Wow...I'd better stop, or this will turn into the first chapter of a book! Lol!

    Anyway, I just want you to know that I LOVE your header, I LOVE your blog, and oh! I LOVE your other blog, too!

    Thanks again for the award, and FEEL BETTER SOON -- we need more of your wonderful creativity!!! :)

    You're very welcome! And thank you also for visiting my blog and leaving a comment on my review of "Marked", by P.C. and Kristin Cast. I re-considered my rating, and have now given the book three stars. I also revised it, adding a new paragraph on Zoey.

    I hope you're feeling better by now!

    I will write a post about the award as soon as I can, by the way. I just need to find at least five blogs to pass it on to.

    Thanks again for your comment!!

    Oops! I re-read my previous comment, and I see that it sounds as though I have revised the book! Lol. I meant that I had revised the review, of course. You know, the brain is faster than the keyboard.....Hee, hee!

    @Maria : lol...true! I'm much better now. Everything sorted itself pretty well and right now I'm having holidays (my teachers are on strike regarding some clash with the university management...haha!) so more time to sit and think through and calm myself down. And of course! More time to write.
    I'm in love with time.

Do we really need a preface? Anyway, Feature and Follow is by Paranjunkee and Alison Can Read and is all about blog love. Q: Best Cover? What is the best cover of a book that you’ve read and didn’t like? A: Oh, easy peasy. Masque of Red Death by Bethany Griffin. I loved the cover, but I didn't like the book. I couldn't connect with any of the characters, and finally just abandoned it somewhere near the end. I don't even want to know how it ended, or if there is a new book in the series. It wasn't sucky writing or a sucky plot, it just completely failed to make any kind of impact on me. What are your picks? Leave your links, let's share some follower love :)

Ah, been a while since I did one of these. Anyway, as you all know, Feature and Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read , and is all about spreading some blogosphere love. The question for this week is: Q. Have You Ever Bought a Book Because of a Bad Review? A: Yes, I bought the Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare after one of my good friends read the book and trashed it so much that I just HAD to read it. Of course, her being a Harry Potter fan and fan-fiction writer was the main problem here: she had heard about the whole plagiarism fiasco and we had both read Cassandra's HP fanfic- the Draco Trilogy- and she thought the Mortal Instruments was basically a recycling of DT. Anyway, I read the book and sort of liked it: it was mindless fun if you ignored all the glamour-people and HP comparisons and glitter fizz. I liked Magnus Bane, at least. Leave your FF links :) Happy Follow Friday!

    So it's my very first Follow Friday blog-hop. Yaayy.  Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read , and this week's question is.....          Q: Which book genre do you avoid at all costs and why?   A. This one's easy.  Historical romance.  Give me anything with princes, princesses, marquises, swooning heroines, men in breeches, stories about evil twins and lost princes and inheritances and dowries...and I'll faint. But not before I barf.      Anything where women don't wear jeans or, in fact, anything above the knee, cannot stand up for themselves against abusive males (or do stand up and is branded a rebel, a wild-cat to be TAMED. UGH) and one look from a male melts off her kneecaps is a no-no for me. Put in castles and old English and nasty, unfleeable arranged marriages and I am dead. Bear in mind that I'm talking about those pink-and-yellow jacketed...
