Thinking Award - Thanks!

What a nice honor and surprise I received from Back in The Day and Return of the White Robin. Each awarded me a thinking blogger award. Both of these sites provide some refreshing views and thought provoking posts that well rather make my little effort here a bit quiet and lacking in influence. However, not one to be shy in being excited about an award especially one provided by those that you admire makes ones day. So, for those that are not familiar with this award, check out the orgins of the Thinking Award at the thinking blog. The rules from the original meme are as follows:

Should you choose to participate, please make sure you pass this list of rules
to the blogs you are tagging. I thought it would be appropriate to include them
with the meme.The participation rules are simple:

1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that
make you think,
2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the
meme,
3. Optional: Proudly display the 'Thinking Blogger Award' with a link to
the post that you wrote (here is an alternative silver version if gold
doesn't fit your blog).

With so many really great reads out there it was really tough to narrow my top five list. So, even though there are numerous great book blogs, here are my five choices today in no special order.

1. A Chair, A Fireplace & A Tea Cozy

2. The Edge of the Forest (it is an online children's literature monthly put together by a blogger with contributions by bloggers)

3. Big A, little a

4. Book Moot

5. The PlanetEsma Plan

All five of these sites have well put together thoughts on books, authors, and libraries on a consistent basis and they provide a wealth of information. In the children's literature blog world there are so many worthwhile sites to visit you can't go wrong. Start here with one of these and check out their lists for even more sites to visit.
