Share The Love Blog Awards

Here it is, the final list of nominees.  The response has been overwhelming.  Congratulations to all those who were nominated.  Thanks to all those who did the nominating.  Voting rules and guidelines will be posted later today.  Happy Valentine’s to all!

Reminder: As I never specified any guidelines stating that blogs to be nominated must contain 100% G-rated material–not wanting to be personally responsible for censoring the internet–some of the blogs nominated may not conform to everyone’s reading preferences.  Some of the blogs nominated contain explicit content.

This blog competition is designed to encourage the widening of our reading world, and the fostering of community among women bloggers. If you are offended or bothered by the content of the site of one of our nominees, I’d encourage you to pass by the site, not vote for them, and move on. We’re not here to cause any scandals or offense. The competition is about sharing the love, and honoring excellence. I, for one, am really excited about a lot of the new reads I’m finding!
