Many, many thanks to Emily Bryan of Emily Bryan Romance for selecting me for an award! I hosted Emily on her 50 Day Book Tour for Vexing the Viscount and she was an absolute delight! Many of my regular readers chatted with her throughout the day about historical fiction and romance novels and it was really a fun, fun day.

According to Emily, “This award acknowledges the values that every blogger shows in his or her effort to transmit cultural, ethical, literary, and personal values every day.” I like to think that I share with my readers a little of what I think is really important in the world, so I am especially thrilled about this. Thanks, Emily!

The rules to follow are:1) Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award and his or her blog link.2) Pass the award to up to 15 other blogs that are worthy of this acknowledgment.

This will give me a chance to recognize some great blogs…I will be posting them soon!

Here are some of the bloggers I think do an exceptionally good job:
