Historical Blogs: Fiction & Fact Receives One Lovely Blog Award

There are two terrific things about receiving an award from another historical fact or fiction blog.  First, there is a the honor and recognition.  It can be a lonely world out here on Cyberspace, but hearing from people who care about what you care about, specifically books, is the sort of connection for which one can really be grateful.

The second pleasure is being asked to recognize others who blogs are joyous, intelligent, fun, instructive, spirited and all those other good words one likes to have applied to one.

The "One Lovely Boog Award"  was just awarded to this blog's sister blog, Historical Blogs: Fiction & Fact, bestowed thereto by Danielle at The Romantic Armchair Traveler.  HB: F&F is really not a blog,  rather is a bloglist, but I'm not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth.  I accept!  Here is what Danielle said was the reason for choosing that blog:

Nan Hawthorne’s Historical Blogs: Fiction And Fact, which provides a regularly updated, inspiring list of blogs that deal with history in one form or another.

I also appreciate that given what my "blog" is about I learned about several other blogs that deserve their place in the bloglist!

Now I have the honor to bestow this award to up to fifteen other blogs in my chosen category, which is, not surprisingly, history and historical fiction.  All the ones listed below in no particular order are ones I check regularly and highly enjoy and appreciate.

There is one hitch... I am only to choose blogs I have encountered recently.  So if I have read your blog forever you won't be here, but you remain forever in in my heart.
