Happy Easter! What did the Easter Bunny bring you? Six years ago he brought me a marriage proposal and a GORGEOUS engagement ring. Not too shabby huh! This Easter he has brought me, on behalf of Lisa over at Books & Cooks, the FRIENDS AWARD! I am so flattered and thrilled by this because of the description of why this award it given is:

“These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated.”
Now I have been asked to award eight other blogs with this award. The following blogs are just lovely. Some are old blogging friends and some of them are new to me but I immediately felt a connection with these bloggers and their sites. These bloggers are now asked to pass this award to eight blogs they deem worthy of the Friend Award.
Nat @ Book, Line & Sinker
Literary Feline @ Musings of a Bookish Kitty
Frances @ Nonsuch Books
Thoughts of a Lusty Reader from DC
Lisa @ Books on the Brain
Amanda @ Life & Times of a “New” New Yorker
