There are lots of reasons to love book bloggers, but in honor of Book Blogger Appreciation Week I wanted to share one that has been repeatedly brought to my attention in the last few months. Book bloggers are really kind, generous people, people who like to share in each others’ lives and who are always willing to celebrate with one another.
I have experienced this caring firsthand while pregnant and after I had my baby.
First, Amy, Michele and Meaghan started the Book Blog Social Club and threw me a baby shower. The Social Club is now available for others to host celebrations.
As part of my shower, 6 amazing bloggers also chipped in to send me an Amazon gift certificate that is buying Daniel books and diapers.
I thought all that was pretty amazing, but it didn’t even end there.
In addition to SO much support through email and Twitter while I was pregnant and while I was learning how life worked with Daniel, I’ve had more bloggers thoughtfully send Daniel presents.
Marci of Serendipitous Readings knit Daniel adorable booties and a winter bonnet. I think these might even work for two winters!
Jennifer of Literate Housewife sent Daniel this Winnie the Pooh doll and outfit, as well as this ‘chew on me’ book – he’s figured out that one already.
And finally, Nicki of Fyrefly’s Books knit Daniel this gorgeous blanket, isn’t it lovely?
To all of you who’ve sent Daniel presents and all of you who have given me even one word of advice or encouragement, I appreciate you!
Book bloggers are truly awesome!

How adorable! Thank you so much for sharing the pictures. The online baby shower was a lot of fun. I loved seeing everyone else’s baby pictures.
Daniel is off to a great start because he has such loving parents.
First you start chewing on books with your mouth, then your mind.

He’s a little tiny devourer of books
Book bloggers are the best, aren’t they?
That is so sweet!! Daniel is just so cute!!
And that blanket is gorgeous. The colors are amazing!!

The community is what makes it all worth while! And you also had some awesome guest posts during Daniel’s fist month!
I can’t believe how big he is already! Boy, does the time fly! I love this community too!
I can’t imagine a better online community to be a part of.
One the one hand, Daniel is really big already… but on the other, I was thinking that the blanket was kind of small, but he only takes up three squares at a time!

Adorable, oh my goodness! He’s just so cute!
And yes, book bloggers are the best.

I don’t know how you all do it, but I thank you for it. What a generous, intelligent, caring community. Thank you for sharing the pictures! You truly are blessed.
Book bloggers are so sweet! By the looks of it, they’ve helped turn Daniel into quite a well-dressed young man.

I am pretty darn sure we have the best blogging community ever. There isn’t a day that I don’t shake my head at the love and support of everyone in our circle. What beautiful gifts for a beautiful baby!
I can’t believe how big he is in the Winnie the Pooh photos – what a cutie! Thanks for sharing the pics!
Bookbloggers are the best! Thanks for sharing the pics with us!
This is such a sweet post! Thanks for writing it.
Aw how sweet! Book bloggers truly are nice people.
The last pic kind of resembles a butterfly.
Daniel looks so happy wrapped up in that colorful blanket!
I agree. I’ve been on for about two weeks and have only been exploring for a few days–Yet, I’ve already encountered amazing people. I’m impressed. It’s not often you run into a group of people who have no ties to you that are so considerate and encouraging.
P.S.
Goodness gracious, he’s insanely adorable.
Book bloggers are so sweet! It never ceases to amaze me how tightly knit this community is! You have a very beautiful baby!
awww! What great gifts! And little Daniel is chewing already
Literate Housewife says it best
Book blogging community is great… you end making so many good friends
