I’ve been remiss in responding to the award meme going around. I was nominated by both Dr. Curmudgeon and Squatratomagico — and I’m still wondering how I ever got into such good company. Thanks to both of you!

Here’s how it works:

  • Please put the logo of the award (above) on your blog if you can make it work with your format.
  • Link to the person from whom you received the award.
  • Nominate 7 or more blogs.
  • Put the links of those blogs on your blog.
  • Leave a message on their blogs to tell them

Logo, check. Links, check. But, um … seven or more blogs??? By this late date, every blog I read and every blogger I love has already been nominated — or so it seems. But, I’m going to do my best to participate.

Here, in no particular order, are 5 blogs that I have only recently begun to read. So, I’m adapting the category of this meme a little bit to identify blogs I really like but don’t know that well, yet. Here’s to building new, virtual friendships:

The Rebel Letter

What Now?

Adjunct Whore at Professing Narratives (who I see was also tagged by Dr. Curmudgeon, so cheers!)

Moira in Excelsis

Lucky Jane

And, for good measure, I’m going to mention Disenchanted Youth, who I’ve been reading for a while, but who deserves a tip o’ the hat for her photo essay on attending the inauguration — which made me appreciate having watched it from the comfort of a warm classroom with padded seats.

Good reading, everybody!
