Wow!  I am honestly so completely overwhelmed right now and kind of speechless!

To even be nominated in in six categories in the #awaredukyabbloggers was just unbelievably amazing and now to see that I have won four of them and runner up in the other two has really bought tears to my eyes!

Thank you to absolutely everyone who voted for me!

This is amazing!

Thank you all so so much for your support and love!  I feel very over whelmed and lucky ….and quite tearful at the thought but I am ever thankful!  This year had not been the best year for me so far personally and blogging, reading, the book blogging community as well as my family and friends really make it something special.

Thank you to Luna for hosting these awards!  I lovely person through and through who has worked so hard putting these together.

*claps hands repeatedly in admiration and support*

Congratulations to all the winners, runners up and those that were on the longlist.

And remember…..You are all amazing!  Longlist, shortlist or no list….you are all really very very awesome!

*group hug*
