BBAW - First Treasure

September 13-17 is Book Blogger Appreciation Week.  This year's theme, "A Treasure Chest of Infinite Books and Infinite Blogs" is such a keen theme as each year the book blogosphere grows by leaps and bounds and the world of books is opened wider and wider. 

Today's post prompt is about a book blog we discovered during last year's BBAW.  Unfortunately the festivities last year came right before my husband and I left for Europe for vacation and shortly after I lasped into quite a long blog break.  Although I did participate in BBAW last year, it wasn't as fully as I would have liked.

Instead of highlighting a book blog I discovered last year, I want to highlight one of the first I discovered: Musings of a Bookish Kitty by Literary Feline (Wendy).  It's so hard to pinpoint just one blog (in fact, many of the blogs I highlighted last year are still amongst my favorites), but I'll allow myself to just cheat and pinpoint just one blog this one time.  :)

Why should you be reading Musings of a Bookish Kitty?  She reads a wide array of books--just about everything under the sun--from mysteries to literary fiction to historical pieces.  You're sure to find something that you enjoy on her blog, but more importantly she puts so much thought into her reviews.  I can always get a taste for a book after reading her reviews and have certainly added a book or two (at least) to my shelves because of it!  At first I'll admit I was a bit intimidated by Wendy but she is a genuine and welcoming blogger.

What about you?  What is one of the first blogs you discovered when you started blogging?

  5. Oh Trish, Wendy's was a perfect choice to highlight! (I'm so ashamed of myself that I don't always find enough time to read it though. Just like so many other truly wonderful blogs. I WANT MORE TIME! :P)

  6. Heh, that was stupid, your blog isn't new to me at all! It seems I read it mostly through my reader though and so I only recognised it when I saw your picture. Sorry sorry sorry!

  7. I guess my previous comment got lost because that one said that I had never heard about Wendy's blog, but that it looked really nice and that I like the look of your blog as well.
