Hi Everyone! Today, I am please to announce that I have been nominated for The Black Cat Blue Sea Award. What is this award you may ask? I have the same question myself because I don’t see this award often. Here is the explanation I found around the blogosphere: “This award is for bloggers who strive to write for everybody, and no matter how many viewers they get, make an impact on a reader. This award is an expression of gratitude to the nominee. It should be awarded to anybody that you choose deserves it, and it doesn’t mean that they must have hundreds of followers and likes.”
Thank you so much Marta @ The Book Mermaid for nominating me! Please take a moment to visit her blog because she has book reviews, tags, and more!
RULES
1.Anybody nominated can nominate eight other bloggers.
2.The nominee answers three questions posed by the nominator.
3.The questions you ask while nominating can be any three questions.
4.If any of the questions asked are offensive or the nominee simply does not want to answer, the nominee does not have to answer them to earn the award.
MARTA’S QUESTIONS:
1.Do you usually listen to music when you’re writing your posts?
No. I can only concentrate when it’s quiet.
2.What are your favorite posts to write?
I like to write book reviews, awards, and my travel experiences.
3.How many books did you read last month?
I read 7 books! Trying hard to keep this total each month so that my TBR list can get shorter! (I realized that this dream that might not come true and I’m not sure if I’m happy either way. I love to always have books to read but I feel accomplished once I finished reading a book).
MY QUESTIONS:
1) Do you blog because you love to write or because you love to read?
2) Do you want to meet any of your blog friends in real life? or keep it virtual?
3) How many social medias do you join to support your blog?
NOMINEES:
Jill @ Rant and Rave About Books
Megan @ Bookslayer Reads
Jackie @ Death by Tsundoku
Melissa @ Book Nerd MoMo
Angela @ Pooled Ink
Klara @ Ribbon Reviews
Diana @ A Haven for Book Lovers
Janel @ Keeper of Pages
Jay @ A Lovelorn Virgo
Azia @ The Uncharted World
Sophie @ Blame Chocolate
Kamal @ Boundless Blessings
Karina @ Afire Pages
Nayana @ It Rains in My Heart
I’m excited and looking forward to reading your answers everyone!
xoxo,
Jasmine
Congratulations on your award Jasmine! I also prefer to write when it’s totally quiet. Even certain sounds break my focus!
And I’m sorry for only replying now but I only found the pingback now? I will try to get this done as soon as possible. Just know that I won’t forget it!
Thank you so much for nominating me ❤

Congrats on your nomination! I usually work without music, too, but a little bit of classical sometimes helps me along. And thanks so much for nominating me! ❤ I'm really excited to answer those questions and pass this award along 😀

Congratulations on your nomination! I can’t concentrate with music on either, as much as I love music 😛 I find I either end up dancing or writing the lyrics instead of my post haha

All music and TV backgrounds have to be turned off when I’m reading or writing as well. It’s just so distracting isn’t it?

Yup! 🙂 Can’t think whether to give some brownies or take it away. I really like your blog name and how you apply it to your reviews. Neat idea! 🙂

Haha! Yes, there have been a whole lot less brownies for a while now, though, because I was starting to get pretty fat :F. But thank you so much <3. I was wondering where you got that Edelweiss badge btw. I've browsed the entire site and couldn't find it anywhere?

I’m the same as you, I can’t concentrate on blogging unless it’s quite. Though sometimes to drown out noise I put on nature sounds through Spotify which is probably the only thing I can listen to and still be able to concentrate. 🙈
Thank you so much for the nomination! 💕

It shows in your reviews. It seems to take a long time because your reviews are so meticulous and detailed. I like the way you compliment the writing and the author which I realized I don’t do much in my reviews 😊

Everyone has their own perspective on reviews! One of the reasons I enjoy reading your reviews is because they are so different from my own. I feel like I can learn a lot about how to grow and change my own blog from observing yours. 🙂 We make good opposing pairs.
