Thank you, Michael, I truly admire you as a writer and it makes it even more significant to receive recognition from someone like you. If you don't know him, today is the perfect day to head over his site, as he's taking part of the First Fight/First Kiss bloghop where the participating blogs share the first fighting scene of one of their books, as well as the first kissing scene. There are all kinds of yummy fights to enjoy, but Michael's is a pure delight. Don't miss it.
The rules for this award:
This award is for book bloggers only. To receive this award the blog must be at least 50% about books (reading or writing is okay)
Along with receiving this award, you must also share your top five favorite books you have ever read. (More than five is okay) You must give this award to 5-10 3 (I'm bending the rules a little) other lucky book blogs you adore.

Gosh, choosing only five books is an incredibly difficult task, but rules are rules, so here you have a few of the books I've enjoyed the most, or that have been a great inspiration in my life. Some are 'short' stories, but I guess they count regardless of its length.
1. The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar A. Poe.
2. The Death of Halpin Fraiser by Ambrose Bierce.
3. Rhymes and Legends by Gustavo A. Bequer.
4. Pedro Paramo by Juan Rulfo.
5. A Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
6. Aztec by Gary Jennings.
Sorry, but I couldn't let out one of these...
Now, for the three book blogs I adore. Choosing three book-devoted blogs proved to be another incredibly hard choice. I follow more than a hundred blogs and most of them are dedicated to books in one way or another and I love them all. So, I chose the ones I think are the most helpful when choosing what to read next. Here you have my nominees:
1. Krazy Book Lady.
Hope you get as much inspiration to read as I have. Enjoy!
