Welcome to the fourth annual Book Blogger Appreciation Week! It’s hard to believe this is the fourth year we’ve gathered together to celebrate the work book bloggers do and the community we’ve created, but it is! We hope you’ll join in for all the fun this year.
Everyday we have a topic provided that you can blog about. Come back here and add the permalink to your post in the Mister Linky below and then visit other bloggers! It’s a great way to get meet new bloggers and celebrate our community. You can find the full list of topics here. Want to add a BBAW button to your post? You can find them here. Be sure to check back throughout the day for giveaways, special guest posts, and awards announcements!
Today’s Topic
Community
While the awards are a fun part of BBAW, they can never accurately represent the depth and breadth of diversity in the book blogging community. Today you are encouraged to highlight a couple of bloggers that have made book blogging a unique experience for you. They can be your mentors, a blogger that encouraged you to try a different kind of book, opened your eyes to a new issue, made you laugh when you needed it, or left the first comment you ever got on your blog. Stay positive and give back to the people who make the community work for you!

Mahalo for this opportunity to share with others … and learn from others. As the Ancients Hawaiians said,
Komo mai kau mapuna hoe.
Dip your paddle in (join in the effort.
A bit later to the party than I anticipated, but I’ve posted my Community entry! Looking forward to the rest of this week!
This is my first time participating
What a great community of people. My life has truly become more fulfilling since I’ve become involved in book blogging.
What a great topic! Thanks for opening the discussion with such a wonderful symbol of the connections between us….
Even though I did not make it to do the BBAW (because I completely forgot), these daily blogging ideas, really make up for it.

Happy Book Blogger Appreciation Week everyone!
First time participating, but for sure it won’t be my last.
Great event.
I read so many lovely blog posts, I just had to write one of my own
“Small towns” is a metaphor I think of for my list of book blogs.
BBAW is a refreshing alternative to all the publishing doom and gloom I’ve been reading. The business is changing, but the audience for good reads is clearly alive and well!
I am new to book blogging and I love it. I enjoyed this topic!
This is completely awesome! I know there are so many bloggers out there who have helped me find my way and they deserve TONS of recognition!
This is my first BBAW! What a fantastic event. I do feel like book bloggers are very close and happy to be part of the community.
I have really enjoyed following BBAW this year and finally got around to posting about it. Thank you to everyone involved.
