You Love Me! Marissa Sends Us the Honest & Scrap Award!


I was recently honored to receive the Honest & Scrap blog award from Marissa at Marissa's Booklair. Thank you so much Marissa!

I would like to pass this award on to Book Chick City because she rocks and you should be reading her blog! I'd also like to give it to the ladies at The Book Pushers.

The rules for this award are simple, you have to tell ten honest things about yourself and pass them on to other bloggers. So, here are the ten honest things I can think up about myself right now. :)

1.) I consider my pets little people and give them personalities - and yes, I've been known to carry on conversations with them. Oh, and they do have "voices' the hubby and I have created for them.

2.) I'm a total clown. I live to laugh and make it my goal to have my husband laughing out loud at least once a day. I'm a pretty physical clown, and have been know to break out in a crazy dance or reenact a scene using all kinds of crazy movements.

3.) There is not one single type of music I don't listen to. Of course I'm selective within a genre, but my music tastes run far and wide! I also have the amazing ability to memorize lyrics after hearing a song only once - okay maybe that's only amazing to me, but I think it makes me cool! LOL

4.) I'm a vegetarian/vegan. Well, for the past three weeks! Really, it's been off and on for many years but I'm hoping it sticks this time.

5.) I started this blog because I love romance books and reading. What you might not know is that before I started this blog, I started writing my first romance book. It's still a work in progress, but maybe one day!

6.) I'm addicted to Twitter - I used to make fun of people who said they Tweeted, but now I understand the cracktastic awesomeness that Twitter is. Seriously. Do it!

7.) I've been married for 8 years and with my Hubby for 10. We have two dogs named Yoda and Gizmo and they rule our house!

8.) Galaxy Quest is one of my all-time favorite movies. Pure Genius! Yes, I'm a bit of a Sci-Fi geek and proud of it.

9.) I'm that girl in the car next to you singing out loud and dancing in her car. I know - I just can't help it! I like to shake my booty.

10.) Sometimes I get behind on this blog with life and my full-time job, but I'm always thinking of ways to improve it and to bring you more content. I feel guilty when I don't post every single day.

So there's some fresh honesty for you - whether you wanted it or not!

Why I love blogging:

Cheeky Reads is my conversation with book buddies put into print. I love blogging because it gives me a way to start conversations about books I've read with fellow book addicts! I love hearing what other people have thought of the books I've read and hope that more of my readers will join in and share their thoughts on my reviews. Cheeky Reads is here as a forum to discuss books, and I'm just helping to faclitate the conversation by blogging!

I love how I've had conversations with others across the globe and how it shows that a good (or bad) book transcends geographic location. It's amazing to have a community online of such a diverse group of readers!

For passing on this award, I'd like to tag bloggers who I feel contribute so much to the book community online. Heather at Heather's Reading Romance , Mandi at SmexyBooks & Heather at The Daily Dose - TAG! You're it!

Cheeky Reads Awarded The Kreativ Blogger Award!


Cheeky Reads was honored to receive the Kreativ Blogger from the lovely Mrs. Emily Bryan and fantastic blogger Heather! Thank you so much Emily and Heather. Check out Emily's favorite things here, and Heather's Here.

To accept the award, I must post about my seven favorite things and pass the award along to seven other deserving blogs...so here goes.

My seven favorite things (as of this moment):

1.) I'm going to be a copycat and say my DH has to top the list. He puts up with all my craziness and loves me anyway!

2.) Puppies - All dogs are puppies to me and I love them all! I especially love my two fluff-monsters at home.

3.) The Library - Since I was a child I've always thought of the library as an amazing adventure and refuge. I wish our society would love them as much as I do! Anytime I have an afternoon to spare, I inevitably end up perusing the stacks at my local branch. I mean, they have everything - books, magazines, movies, books on CD, etc. The list is endless. And the best part? I'm happy to let my tax dollars pay for something that I can use and that contributes to making society better instead of the millions of other things our taxes get wasted on!

4.) Discovering a "new to me" author - There is nothing like reading a book you really enjoyed, only to find out that the author has a hefty backlist! Love that!

5.) Talking about romance books - If this wasn't one of my favorite things, then Cheeky Reads wouldn't be around. I look at this blog and others as my place to connect with fellow romance readers.

6.) Traveling - Adore it! The DH and I have a map where we mark all the places we've been. It really is our top priority in life - to experience life across the world. I can't wait till our next trip.

7.) Coffee & Wine - Come on...I had to include those! Coffee is my morning drug of choice and Wine is...ummm yeah, Wine! I have fun trying to find the best of both while keeping it relatively cheap.

There are tons of great blogs out there, but here are seven that I love to visit and want to bestow the Kreativ Blogger award to:

Killer Fiction - a fantastic group of authors who crack me up on their blog all the time. You should check out their books too - great reads!

Leontine's Book Realm & Marissa's Book Lair & Pearl's World of Books - three great book reviewers and they give great tweet!

Romance Writer's Revenge - If you are a writer, or just starting out, I highly recommend this fantastic blog. Don't be scared of the pirates, they are usually drunk on rum and have a jolly good time talking about all things writing!

The Daily Dose - a great blog about fantasy and romance by an author I really enjoy.

In My Humble Opinion - author TJ Bennet's blog where she has amazing guest bloggers and some very interesting topics!
Thanks again Emily and Heather for the award!
