Carmel of Rabid-Reads has given me a blog award-- thanks so much, Carmel!
It's hard to believe I've received two awards, seeing as I still feel more than a little overwhelmed by the many challenges of running a blog. I feel like I've barely gotten started and yet today I realized that A Myriad of Books is officially three weeks old! Over the next few weeks, I'm going to be hosting my first giveaway( :) !!), so check back soon for updates on that.
Well, without further ado (or mindless blathering), the Versatile Blogger Award rules:
- Thank and link back to the person who gave you the award.
- Share 7 things about yourself.
- Pass this on to 12 other great bloggers you recently discovered.
- Contact the selected bloggers and tell them about their awards.
7 Things About Me
- Where to start? Well, I'm obsessed with mythology, which I think is probably a rare trait in teenagers. (Ok, it's probably an unusual trait in anyone.) Arthurian, Greek, Celtic, Egyptian, I love it all. I can remember the first time my parents asking me about possible college majors and I said, "What can you do with a degree in mythology?" To me, there's nothing cooler than fickle thunder gods, three-headed dogs, terrible fire-breathing dragons,Celtic spirals, ancient monuments packed with tourists... you get the idea. One of my all-time favorite books is Marion Zimmer Bradley's Mists of Avalon-- if you haven't read it, read it!
- I'm a long-time fan of Spongebob Squarepants and I can to this day quote every single episode by heart. Other TV fetishes include: The Nightmare Before Christmas, Glee, and the canceled NBC show Heroes. (Anyone remember that one?)
- I own approximately 317 books, including manga and graphic novels-- just counted the spines on my shelves, though I'm sure I missed a few.
- I'm a big trivia buff and on the Quiz Bowl team at my high school. My Dad's nickname for me is 'Wikipeida'.
- I love to sing, especially cheesy show tunes, but I have an atrocious singing voice... my sister has several times threatened dismemberment after happening across me singing along to the radio.
- I have a Yorkshire Terrier named Zoey who always lies on my feet while I blog, and whom I'm simply obsessed with. One day I'm going to be that infamously eccentric lady with the twenty cats, except with dogs instead. I just know it.
- I'm obsessed with geography and particularly the incredibly addictive Travelpod game: Traveler IQ. It took me months to win the game the first time, but now I can almost always beat it. One day I really want to travel the world and see all of the places I can pinpoint with my mouse. :) I'm afraid I can't possibly pass this award onto twelve other bloggers, firstly because I'm very new to the Blogosphere and secondly, because I passed on another blog award to some of my favorite fellow bloggers not even two weeks ago. But I can pick four of new favorites I've only very recently discovered:
Congratulations to the following blogs:
Congrats!!!
