Thanks so much to Caroline at Beauty is a Sleeping Cat for

under no circumstances feel obligated to post or pass along. Only do so if you
really want to.
The rules of this award are as follows.
1. Select the blog(s) you think deserve the ‘Blog of the
Year 2012’ Award.
2. Write a blog post and tell us about the blog(s) you
have chosen – there’s no minimum or maximum number of blogs required – and
‘present’ them with their award.
3. Please include a link back to this page ‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award
at The Thought Palette and
include these ‘rules’ in your post (please don’t alter the rules or the
badges!)
4. Let the blog(s) you have chosen know that you have
given them this award and share the ‘rules’ with them.
5. You can now also join the Facebook group – click ‘like’
on this page ‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award Facebook group and then you can share your blog
with an even wider audience.
6. As a winner of the award – please add a link back to
the blog that presented you with the award – and then proudly display the award
on your blog and sidebar … and start collecting stars…
My choice of winners are as follows:
Books For Me - Vibina reviews both
classics and popular fiction. Her blog is engaging and especially fun to read!
Gently
Mad – Sharon covers an eclectic mix of books including history and fiction.
Her perspective is both intelligent and original.
A Night's Dream of Books –
Maria’s blog is not just one of the most aesthetically beautiful places in the
blogosphere, but she provides thought provoking commentary on science Fiction,
drama, philosophy, theology and more!
Reading, Writing,
Working, Playing – Jane
covers history, literature, walking and more. This is a blog takes a
fascinating but different approach to book blogging.
St. Orberose – Miguel
was the dark horse winner of last year’s Liebstar
Award. He provides brilliant commentary on both Portuguese as well as literature
from around the world.
Therapy Through Tolstoy – Lucy’s blog is a terrific mix of intellectual
literary commentary as well as insightful musings on life in general.
These blogs
are all super. Please check them out. If there is anyone remaining out there
who is not familiar with Caroline’s blog it is also a must read.
Congratulations
to all the winners!
More awards
to follow in the coming weeks.

Hi Sharon - Your blog is certainly deserving! Have a great day!
Hi VB - As you know I think that your blog is fantastic. Have a great day!
Hi Caroline - Thanks again for the ward!
One reason that I really wanted to get these awards up is to share with everyone the blogs that I enjoy!
Hey, Brian!
CONGRATULATIONS on receiving this prestigious award!! You and your blog really deserve it!! :)
I'm truly honored that you chose my blog as one of those deserving this wonderful recognition, as well!! Thank you SO much!!
As I explained in my reply to you (in the comments section of my "Shelf Candy Saturday" post), I don't really accept awards anymore, because it's so time-consuming to pass them on, etc. (You replied -- in my comments section -- that you understood, and I'm now replying here.) I am nevertheless accepting this award because of who is giving it to me -- Brian Joseph, the blogger with the VERY interesting intellectual blog!! So I will definitely put up a post regarding this, with a link back to your blog, because I do appreciate the fact that you think so highly of my blog. However, I won't be passing on the award, for the reasons you're already aware of.
Again, CONGRATS to you, and thanks for picking my blog!! :)
Thank you so much, this has also made my day :) My 7/8 months of blogging so far have been so rewarding.
Your posts never fail to inspire and interest me, so I appreciate that too!
Hi Maria - You are too kind! Thanks!
I totally understand. I almost did not put up these award blogs as I do not want people to feel obligated to put up reciprocal posts. I just wanted to recognize some great blogs out there.
Hi Lucy - Thanks for the good word! I am glad that I had the chance to recognize your blog!
Brian, I'm ashamed to say I only discovered this today. I would have thanked you sooner otherwise!
Also, I just noticed I'm the only man amongst the winners :)
Hi Miguel - No worries. I should have let you know but I did not want to make too much of a big deal to the winners as I do not want folks to feel obligated to put up a reciprocal post.
Ha! I also did not realize that there was a gender imbalance here:)
