2-4-6-8 WHO DO WE APPRECIATE?
APOOO, APOOO, APOOO
Hello good peeps! Wake up, it’s the beginning of a new week, one that’s bound to be filled with lots of joy, love and happiness. As some of you know, I jumped on the Book Blogger Appreciation Week blog carnival last month and have been actively supporting it for the last week or so. Since I am fairly new to this project, I took a wait-and-see-approach before I asked my loyal fans and readers to nominate APOOO for a category. Well, the waiting is over, and I am now ready to jump on this mother ship and I need your help to do it. APOOO needs a little loving and attention too…can I say TLC. 
So what does APOOO need from YOU? If you like what APOOO is doing in the literary world, book club arena, CLICK HERE and leave a comment, thank you note or SHOUT-OUT. Tell us how much you APPRECIATE US and what we are doing. Sometimes the road gets rocky and the weather stormy–but, YOUR voice and CONTINUED support is the impetus needed to remind me that what APOOO does is not in vain and when I sometimes wonder ‘if it’s all worth it’…it’s your notes that will encourage me to fight past the blues and move forward…for OUR VOICES, OUR STORIES still need to be heard and resonate!
What else does APOOO need you to do? Return here and cut and paste your comment from My Friend Amy’s blog.
What’s in it for YOU? Everyone who leaves a comment in BOTH PLACES will receive a copy of a FREE Book of your choice or gift certificate to your favorite retail outlet, up to a $25 value. Also, this week you will have the opportunity to meet more HEAD OF THE CLASS book club members, visit and make friends with some of the other almost 200 book bloggers out there (I know…and who said reading is DEAD…hmmm obviously they never met some of us who keep it live, well and running better than a well-oiled machine), check out some of the book blogs that were nominated for awards, (APOOO is hosting the awards show for the Best Cookbook and Literary Fiction categories as well as the Best Book Published in 2008), and win great prizes from some of the other participating bloggers as well as APOOO. So please stop by often and tell others about this wonderful event.
So who’s first? WHO DO WE APPRECIATE… When you visit Amy, please tell her APOOO sent you! PS–I think APOOO should be nominated for the Best PIMP your Blog Promoter Blog Promoter. What say you?

Good day Ladies..
First off.. I pray I did this correctly. I will cut and paste my post from Amy’s blog below. I must digress, ladies..do you mind? As an educator, I’ve learned a lot about myself–one thing–I make a HORRIBLE student. LOL. Not Following directions and procrastination–Smile. So, I said all of this to say–I pray I did this correctly.
Also, big ups to Yas for hitting me up with blog updates. I am interested in others’ blogs as well.. it’s a great outlet for someone like myself…with so much going on..being able to read a bit of another’s world–is always divine.
Enjoy your evening. Make it Fierce!
