Cheers to our very first award post!
Huge thanks to Cristina from My Tiny Obsessions & Tori from The Book Dreamer for nominating us!
RULES:
- Select 15 other blogs you want to give the award to. Do some digging if you must! Find those blogs. You cannot nominate yourself or the person who has nominated you.
- Write a post to show off your award! Give a brief story of how your blog got started, and give a piece or two of advice to new bloggers. Thank whoever nominated you, and provide a link to their blog. List who you’ve nominated in the post.
- Make sure to also attach the award itself! (You can do this by right-clicking, saving, and uploading the image in the right).
- Comment on each blog and let them know you’ve nominated them. Provide a link to the award post you created.
- Provide a link to the original post on Edge of Night. That way, anyone can find the original guidelines and post if needed, and we can keep it from mutating and becoming confusing! (It happens LOL).
The Beginning:
The moment I read the Shatter Me trilogy, I never thought it would change my life. (Please bear with me. I love dramatics.) Imagine a person who finished reading the third book of a trilogy. I felt despair, joy, sadness, emptiness and some other things I can’t describe BUT that’s not even the worst part. Imagine you can’t share your feelings with anyone.
I mean yes, I told my friends over lunch (I wasn’t hungry that specific time nor was a thirsty. I felt absolutely nothing except numb.) with all out facial expressions and hand gestures and yes they nodded like they cared (I have the most amazing friends.)
Still they don’t truly understand how I feel because they haven’t read it. I’m so lonely and alone with my thoughts stirring and my emotions flooding inside me, I felt like Noah’s Ark, I thought popped out. “What if I write about it?”
My friends and family were very supportive. (Now, that I think about it, maybe they just wanted me to stop talking. Cause honestly once I talk about a book, it will never end. lol) And so I started to think of names AND THEN another idea came to me. A more genius one. “What if I did a blog with my sister?” Since Miedjel indirectly influenced me to start reading. I called her up and PARTNERSINBOOKS was born.
Fast forward, this is us exactly and the guy is the rest of the world.
Yup, it always makes me happy to tell this story.
We nominate the people who fangirled and welcomed us with open arms from our very first week! I’m sure you guys were already tagged but seriously we’re just so happy we met you. We love you! ❤
Josie from Josie’s Book Corner
Giselle from Hard Work Boulevard
Regina from The Bibliotheque
Faith from Sublime Reads
Kimmy from Lazy Caramel Reads
Anjie from Love Thy Shelf

And to our new followers, I could just feel the amount of fangirling that is about to happen ❤

The pieces of advice you gave were very ingenious! I loved it. You definitely deserve this award. Although I’ve done this award before, I really appreciate you for nominating my blog. The two of you are one of the the most genuine online friends I have ever met!
I can totally relate to those moments where you second-guess if your friends were fascinated by the idea of blogging or they just wanted you to stop talking. Haha.

That’s awesome that it was one book that inspired you to start blogging. And I know the feeling when you get that your friends and family want you to just shut up about this one book but are too polite to tell you that and you just want to keep talking until the entire world loves it too.
Thanks for stopping by Writing on a Vintage Typewriter!

Hi! I’m not sure how this works (I’m sorry, I’m still learning stuff because I only just started blogging a week ago lol), but I tagged you guys for the Liebster and Siblinghood award: https://literaryconstellation.wordpress.com/2015/08/17/blogger-awards-liebster-and-siblinghood-2/
I’m not sure if you had to be following back for me to nominate you, and if you already did this, feel free to disregard! I just thought I’d let you know in case you didn’t see, because I’m not sure if it lets you know when you’re linked or something? I don’t know yet how that works so forgive me lol.

Hi Ember! Welcome to the blogging community. It is the absolute best ❤ You can tag anyone with these tags but honestly even I still don't know how the link thing works (we also just started about a month and a week!) so I end up just notifying the people I tag (so it's right what you did) Thanks so much for the nomination Ember! and if you need any help, don't hesitate to approach us! Or if you just want to talk about books that would be great too! btw, I love your name! ❤
