Jenny just gave me a Kreativ Blogger Award today *hugs Jenny* and OMG I am so excited!
As part of receiving this award, I have to (1): Share 10 things about myself that readers might find interesting, and (2) nominate 6 others for the blog award. Here we go:
10 things about me:
- I already have one non-fiction book published
- I love romantic movies, zombie movies, scary movies, horror movies, funny movies, teen movies, serious movies, historic movies, old movies (I do love movies)
- I watch too many TV shows (Desperate Housewives, Fringe, How I met your mother, The Simpsons, Friends, Buffy, Dawson´s creek, Beverly Hills – the old school kind, Degrassi – the old school kind, Two and an half men, Cold Case)
- I used to write fanfiction
- I have a crush on Jon Stewart (so does my hubby)
- While living in the US, I did watch Lifetime TV quite often (yes I did :-))
- I am an anxious person (even though most people cannot tell)
- I speak French, English, German, a tad of Spanish and I know the basics of Russian
- I am a fan of the Klitchko brothers (really have you seen them?)
- I have two Master´s (one from the US and one from Germany). I loved school! Yes I am a nerd 🙂
And now the 6 bloggers I´d like to pass this award too (and gosh that is the difficult part, you guys are great!) If they are not already published, believe me they will be soon 🙂
- Peggy Eddleman: Peggy was one of the first blog I followed. She always has these amazing cookies and in terms of inspiration: wow!
- Katy Upperman: Katy is taking a short blog-cation but really you have enough wonderful posts to get you through her well-deserved time off! She has tons of great & honest YA reviews and her posts are just always so…”warm-hearted” (that´s the only word I could come up with here)
- Sarah Enni: Sarah has great YA reviews/recommendations. She also has a lot of posts which just make me smile. Plus she loves Nintendo games!
- Kate Hart: One of Kate´s latest post was so inspirational and the rest of her blog is well quite amazing as well!
- Kerri Maniscalco and her Write Eat Repeat blog: First of all it´s a beautiful blog. She manages to also have beautifully written posts which can lift you up, make you smile, make you think or just give you lots of useful information on YA books and writing 🙂
- Tarah Dunn: Tarah has a lot of original content and features. I find her blog different and very interesting!
Again, there are many more I´d like to nominate, I´ll probably do a blogroll at some point!
Thanks again Jenny. It warms my heart to know people enjoy my posts!
Congratulations, cg! It’s nice to get to know a bit more about you. 🙂 I already follow most of the blogs you listed, but I will certainly check out the others.
Thanks Colin 🙂 I am still all giddy about it lol!
You’re so silly, and you so deserve the award! Can’t wait to see what you write tomorrow (if you can stop dancing long enough to write one.) *wink*
Thanks again Jenny 🙂 I am glad I was able to stop dancing and write my Happy Friday post which was easy as of course the award made my list of happy moments of the week 🙂
Awesome, thank you! 🙂
You´re quite welcome! 🙂 Thank you for the wonderful posts!
Congrats on the award! How I Met Your Mother is one of my favorite shows. 🙂
Thanks Kelly 🙂 Well How I Met Your Mother is quite awesome 🙂
Congratulations!
Thanks Robin!
Uh, I’m so jealous of your gift for linguistics. I barely made it through the required two years of language (in my case, German) in high school.
And thank you SO MUCH for the award. It’s adorable, and I’m honored by the wonderful things you said about my blog and posts. You are too sweet! Thanks again!
You´re quite welcome, Katy! I really do enjoy your posts so thank YOU 🙂
Hope you enjoy your blog-cation 🙂
Congratulations on the award! I thought everyone had a crush on Jon Stewart! 😉
Thanks Lindsey 🙂 Jonny boy as we like to call him does have a lot of fans…
Congratulations!
…and Lindsey, I’m pretty sure you’re right in that assumption. LOL.

Oh my, I am one GIANT blush – thank you so much for the award and all the sweet, sweet things you said about my blog! ((((SMOTHERING HUGS YOU)))))
And holy crap, GREAT JOB on not one, but TWO master’s degrees! YOU are a rock star *high-fives you* 🙂
Thanks Kerri! I meant ALL of them 🙂 I really do love your blog so you´re quite welcome 🙂
Wahoo well done! 🙂 You have two masters and know plenty of languages – yep you are a nerd, but that is something to be very prud of! And now I have another 6 blogs to check out – thanks 🙂
Oops – I meant proud *sigh*
I am very proud of being a nerd 🙂 It´s who I am! 🙂
Thanks and hope you enjoyed the other blogs as much as I do!
Huge congrats on the award!! So very awesome! I loved reading more about you. You speak several languages and have two masters? Call me impressed!
And thanks for passing it along to me! I’m crazy flattered. You are so sweet.
Love, A Fellow Buffy Fan. 🙂
Thanks Peggy 🙂
I did love college, lol! And gosh I miss Buffy 🙂
You´re very much welcome for passing it along to you…I love your posts (and the cookies of course :-))
Congratulations! You have some great bragging rights there – 2 masters and all of the languages. And there’s nothing wrong with being a nerd, I miss college!
I used to speak German pretty well, but after 10 years of not having anyone to speak with, I’m not nearly as good. I’m working on reteaching myself everything I lost. It’s not easy. 🙂
Congrats again! 🙂
Thanks Heather 🙂
Good luck on reteaching yourself German! Have you tried to watch movies in German? I used to that a lot with my students and that really helped them…
I miss college too but I also love my current job 🙂 I am actually quite a proud nerd (I´ve always been, lol)
Fun!!!! Congrats!!!
Cute site!
Thanks :-))) Glad you like it!
