Saturday Spotlight: Award

I have been toying with the idea of doing some features on the blog for awhile. Alongside my Monster Mondays featuring my children, I would like to do a Saturday Spotlight featuring all things bookish. I would love to interview people involved in all aspects of the book industry *bloggers, librarians, book sellers, publishers, anyone ;)* If you would like to be involved please email me at asamum@tiscali.co.uk and I will put together some questions for you. If you could specify which area of the book world you are in that would help me tailor the questions : D This may not be a weekly post it obviously depends on how many people email me, lol : D

For the first Saturday Spotlight I would like to post about an award I have been given *yay me* Blimey, I just noticed I have been given 2 different awards *squee*
