Sunday Synopsis: September 11, 2011

Today many people are writing about a decade ago.  I'm not going to do that.  It is not because I have forgotten or don't want to remember.  I remember and each time, tears come to my eyes.  Even after all these years, and not being directly affected, the wounds are still not completely healed.  It was a devastating day, and I simply want to look forward to the positives that the future may bring.

One of these positives is the community that spans the world and celebrates the love of literature.  Tomorrow marks the beginning of Book Blogger Appreciation Week or BBAW for short.  I have participated in BBAW for the past three years, and I am very excited to be participating in a bigger and better event again this year!  From daily topics to a blogger interview and giveaways galore, the week will be a busy one and I hope to celebrate daily this week.  Of course, we cannot leave out one of the biggest things about the week ... awards!  I have not yet posted about this here, but I have to throw my pride out there in one of my own events making the shortlist ... Armchair BEA for Best Book Blogging Event!  Whether it receives an award or not, I am so proud to see the event get recognized so highly in this community!

Now, I'm off to work on my daily posts, all focusing on community!  I hope to see you all around a lot this week and thank YOU for making this event amazing year after year!
