Wow, everyone made my day! Out of over 100 blogs I was one of the top 5 finalists? Even though it is raining like crazy, I had a terrible drive to work today, and I can't go and see "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" for free tonight because of the aforementioned rain I'm now on cloud 9!
Yay for J. Kaye and the other finalists!
Oh, wow. We're in good company. Thanks to all who nominated! ;)
Thanks for all your hard work on this!
Lots of great blogs made the finals. Congratulations!
Congrats to everyone so far! Most of these blogs I have visited and enjoyed and a few are new to me.
Thanks again Amy for starting this fabulous event!
Wow! This is such an honor. Thank you!!
Congrats, finalists! I can't wait to see the rest of the nominations! (and I can't believe some of these were new to me!)
Congrats to those nominated so far! This is going to be great to find new blogs, I'm surprised that I haven't been visiting half of them so far. Now I'll be camping out next to my computer all day to see what comes up next!
I was honored just to receive a nomination. I've only been blogging two years and this is really fine company to be with. Kudos to all the finalists so far!
Congrats to the finalists! I'm actually not familiar with most. Off to explore!
Wow, huzzah! Thanks so much for including me in the top 5! And I love the boost of traffic so far! Thank you for organizing this!
Holy Cow, thank you!! We are so honored, and thrilled to be in such esteemed company. I am also overjoyed to have so many great new blogs to read. Thank you for all of the hard work you put into this, Amy!
Ann & Michael, Books on the Nightstand
I'm stunned! Thanks so very very much!
OK, now I'm beside myself. Free Spirit is in the top 5 for Christian/Inspirational blogs? Wow - so full of gratitude - I gotta surf off and check out the other 4.
Wow, this is so exciting! Congrats to the nominees!
Congrats to all the finalists! I can't wait to explore some of these new-to-me blogs!
A big thank you to Amy for all the hard work! :)
Congratulations to all the finalists, and a big thanks to everyone who nominated, and Amy who has been working so hard to put this event together!
Thank you for all your work. I am honored to be nominated, and it's going to be fun to try to visit all the other book blogs that were nominated.
By the way, the link for 5 Minutes for Mom is broken/mistyped.
Congratulations everyone! Thanks Amy for all the work you've done so far on this! Great to see some of my nominees in the listings! Lots of new blogs to check out :).
Congrats to all!
Amy, thank you for all your hard work!
Congrats again!
I've also posted this annoucement on my blog here. :)
Hey, cool! But Amy, you have West of Mars under altruistic blogs, which is where it belongs -- except you've got my main author's blog there, not the Win a Book blog, which I think is the better fit for the category.
Congratulations to all the nominees!
congratulations, there are some wonderful blogs up there!
Congrats to everyone!
Amy,
You had an inspirational idea and done a great job! Thank you.
Neither of my blogs made the short list but I'm not surprised. One of them is very new and the other is going through a major upheaval. The really nice thing is that I can learn from a whole bunch of examples of how people are book blogging and doing it well!
Wow - so many great YA book blogs and I made the short list *blushes*
Yippee! The Book Lady is thrilled!
I am honored!! -- Book Club Girl
It's an honor to be on the Best Books list. Thanks, Amy, and thanks to anyone who read NO ONE YOU KNOW! --Michelle R.
Thanks for all your hard work Amy. This has been such a great idea and a lot of great blogs have been nominated. Even me! Thanks to all who nominated me for the commentator award-I am so grateful!
Wow!! Thank you so much everybody! Way excited to make the list! And Amy, your amazing!
Wow, I'm so honored! Thanks!
Camy
Very Surprised and happy to make the list! Thanks so much! My favorite thing to do is give away books!
I am so surprised and honored to make the cut!! Thanks to everyone who nominated and especially to Amy for all this hard work! You're amazing, Amy!
Wow, I found this blog as a link from another blog, which was sent to me by a friend. And who is on this list of blogs, except for me! I had no clue! I feel so very special. ;-)
So thank you, and I'm off to write a blog about this contest. I appreciate you nominating me for one of the best Nonfiction Book blogs. Now I'm going to have to read the other blogs on the list!

Congratulations to all the finalists! Thank you, Amy, for putting so much work in to this event. :) Are you going to make it an annual thing?
Congratulations to all the finalists!
congrats to all the finalists!
hmmm... I see that I needed to be more specific with my previous comment as I came off wrong. When I commented about "trashy" blogs and there being better out there, not all of the MANY wonderful categories were posted, but only two. One being the romance category. Some, some I say of the blogs in that category are what I was referencing as trashy. As, I do believe they are called by book sellers and themselves trashy romances. I'm just shocked with all of the romance out there be it inspirational, trashy, and in between that those were picked. Yet, I did not put forth any nominations, and things just work out that way. Many people like it, I suppose. I'm just saying. There could be much better.
As a whole, the MAJORITY of blogs here are beyond fabulous with wonderful hours upon hours of reading and tidbits and information for the book-a-holic!! So I'm sorry if you thought I meant you. I mean to say thank you for all the time that "most" of you put into your great blogs.
Thanks to all those who nominated me for challenge host!!! I so appreciate all of you and all the participants of the challenges as well!!!!
