Amazon discontinued the ability to create images using their SiteStripe feature and in their infinite wisdom broke all previously created images on 12/31/23. Many blogs used this feature, including this one. Expect my archives to be a hot mess of broken book cover images until I can slowly comb through 20 years of archives to make corrections.

Eye Of The Tiger

The Super Librarian parents are boarding a plane and heading back home tomorrow afternoon. Yep, it's time for Wendy to come up for air! I've been able to sorta, kinda keep up with my e-mail, but am massively behind in my blog hopping (and blogging). So to kick start myself back into a semi-normal routine, I'd like to announce that I have won a most prestigious award! Tracy and Kris have honored me with the first ever Official Book Slut award. Isn't it purdy?

How did I win?

Well, first I shamelessly nominated myself. Then I disclosed to Tracy how many books I have in my TBR. This actually isn't a big secret. I have the whole blessed thing cataloged over at Library Thing. Still, I hate to openly admit it publicly because it's a source of much angst and crushing anxiety. Of course I'm among friends here, so I guess I shouldn't be overly embarrassed. Hell, some of you are probably even a little jealous. Sick puppies that you are.

So many thanks to Kris, Tracy, and all the romance junkies I've met and interacted with over the years (in person and online). It takes a village to raise a Book Slut, and I couldn't have done it without all of the help and encouragement you've given to me over the years. ::snort::

A thoroughly well deserved recipient of the very first Book Slut award. It looks good on you sweetie! :) Now I have to go follow the link even though I KNOW how many are in there! :)

Nice, Kati. Nice.

Although "Book Slut" certainly has a nice ring to it, eh?

Wendy said...

Yes, AztecLady - those are ALL in the TBR. Believe me, the anxiety is so crushing that I wouldn't make it up LOL.

And for anyone crazy enough to follow the link - be very, very careful. I've had several people tell me they've lost hours over at Library Thing just looking at my collection.
