I can’t believe this is the first year I’ve done this (at least that I can remember), but I am so excited to highlight some of my favorites for the Annual Book Blogger Awards!
How it Works
I wanted to include the rules and details in case you wanted to nominate some of your faves too, but for the full details, check out the original post! You have until Saturday, July 20 (comments will close and I will not accept nominations later than 11:59 PM CDT)
RULES
(Most of these are directly from Joce’s 2018 post.)
- All nominees MUST BE BOOK BLOGGERS. (That’s the point.)
- You do not have to be a book blogger to nominate/vote for others.
- You can nominate up to three (3) bloggers for each category.
- Make sure that the blogger(s) you nominate for each category actually fit that category. Please don’t make it so that I have to check each and every nomination!!
- Please try to nominate as many different bloggers as you can, instead of nominating the same ones over and over again!
- In your nominations, include the blogger’s name, their blog’s name, and a link to their blog. (Preferred format would be, for example, May @ Forever and Everly.) It isn’t required at all, but it would be so lovely if you wrote a description for each blogger on why you chose to nominate them for that category!
- You do not have to nominate a blogger for every category.
- To reiterate, you can nominate people by writing a post, or if absolutely necessary, in the comments below. Tag your nomination posts with #2019BookBloggerAwards and either link it back to this post or post the link in the comments to make sure that I see it.
Nominations
I won’t be doing all the categories, because I’m a very bad book blogger and am awful at blog hopping and so there are just general holes in who I know and what categories I read, sorry!
