Today, we are pleased to announce the first ever Litty Awards, the first annual award for litbloggers; bloggers that have worked hard to keep you informed of the latest book news, provide their opinions and insights, and feed your brain with a regular intellectual banquet.

Thank you, Book Chronicle, for shortlisting BookBlog for a Litty Award. Since the list names many blogs I admire and know are of much better quality than our site, I don't hold much hope of winning any of the categories. However, I do appreciate the recognition and am sincerely humbled by being included in such fine company.

Again, thank you!
