When I first started my blog, I thought it would be an easy thing. I read quite a lot, and I have a lot of strong opinions regarding what I read, so it would be a piece of cake to maintain a book blog, right? Wrong! First, I realized that I couldn't write down everything I think about a book; I don't want to be rude or overly negative. Second, I actually don't read as much as a lot of other bloggers do. Third, blogging can sometimes be hard. Managing a hectic schedule leaves little time for reading, blogging and commenting, and you sometimes have to put in extra effort to regularly update your blog.
I passed my 100th post sometime back, and I didn't even notice it! Well, this is a belated celebration of me passing the century mark. This award is to all those prolific bloggers, who read voraciously, blog tirelessly and have made the blogging community such a vibrant place. This award is in recognition of their achievements and their enthusiasm. They are the people who keep me going!
There are a couple of rules for this award:
1. Every winner of the Prolific Blogger Award has to pass on this award to at least seven other deserving prolific bloggers. Spread some love!
2. Each Prolific Blogger must link to the blog from which he/she has received the award.
3. Every Prolific Blogger must link back to This Post, which explains the origins and motivation for the award.
4. Every Prolific Blogger must visit this post and add his/her name in the Mr. Linky, so that we all can get to know the other winners.
So, to get things going, I wanted to give this award to these really prolific bloggers who I visit very often. [Drumroll please]

And I have a new design for my blog. The winter season is upon us, and I wanted my blog to reflect that, and the approaching festive season. So, how do you like my blog's new look?

Love your blog design, the christmas theme header is just gorgeous! You're right, maintaining a blog, reading, commenting is a lot more challenging and time consuming than I thought it would be but its definitely rewarding. Thanks so much for thinking of me with the blog award :-)

This is so cool. (Thanks Joylene.) After a quick check I see there are some terrific links here - certainly more click-worthy than mine. I'll have to work hard to keep up with this bunch!
A big thank you to A.F. Stewart for bestowing this award upon my website! I've passed on the goodness and awarded 7 of my favourite bloggers a Mr. Linky!
All the best,
Christine
Many thanks to Joylene Butler and Katherine Neff Perry for sending the award my way, and to you as its creator. I'm honoured!

Look at all those links! Now I won't run out of leads for new and interesting blogs to visit. Thanks to Laura for the nomination and to Hazra for creating the award.
Hello. I got to your blog from Linda's blog, and I had to comment because although I've never visited before, my first thought when I arrived was, wow! This blog is beautiful!
So there you have it. Good job!
This is a wonderful blog and I'm happy to find it. A lovely new online friend and fellow writer/blogger, Laura Best, gave me the Prolific Blogger Award (a flattering, fun surprise!) and it led me here--I'm excited.
Can't comment on your old look, but I like the new one.
Will back and poking around,

Old Kitty sent me here too - hello!
I feel so honored to be included in this! Thank you for beginning it!
Thanks for doing this. Great idea.

Rebecca Fabian "paid it forward" and Twenty by Jenny benefited from your fabulous new award. I am a newcomer to your site, but I like the look of it(and love your portrait of the prolific blogger) and the infectious passion for books it passes along. Many thanks for creating this community, Hazra.
Thanks for creating the new award. Love it. :)
Bernita was kind enough to share it with me. I'll be linking back!
Awesome award. Deb/Writtenwyrrd gave it to me. :-D
Nice award. I got it from A.F. Stewart. And now I know what Mr Linky is. Thanks.
Hi, I got the award from Rebecca Luella Miller for my Lina Lamont Fan Club blog....
Thanks for creating this award. Blogging regularly deserves recognition.
Thanks so much!!
This is a lot of fun:)
What fun! thanks!
Great award! Thanks to you for creating it and to Chris for passing it on to me.
A lovely idea.
We here at Art Scatter World Headquarters are humbled and honored (maybe even dazed and confused) to have this unexpected honor settle on our shoulders. Thanks for setting this up! We love the concept of paying it forward, and have done so. We also love the award illustration, which makes us think warm thoughts about "Goodnight, Moon," a picture book published the year Mr. Scatter was born.
I love the picture of this award! I'm so honored to get it.
:)
This is my first time to your wonderful blog...I am here via SarahJayne, as she bestowed this delightful award upon me. (woot!)
I think I'll stick around. :o)
~Lola
Whooo, long list!
The picture is awesome, I totally agree.
I'm here because of Sarahjayne Smythe who bestowed the honor on me. The award means much to me because I've strived to be a prolific blogger which has helped me to become a better writer.
Thank you.
Thank you for the award. It will serve as motivation to write when I really don't want to.
Hi there!
Angie Lofthouse from Notes From the Writing Chair bestowed this beautiful award upon me, and now I have found you. What a deal, huh?
Please forgive me for making a mistake on "Mr. Linky", would you? I checked to see if I was registered with him and he signed me in a second time--I didn't realize he would do that. (I'm SO embarrassed!)
Anyways, nice "meeting" you.
~Cynde
Cynde's Got The Write Stuff
Thanks for the award :D
I feel so prolific!
They like me, they really like me!!
A blog all about books? This is great!
Thank you for starting such a fun chain of appreciation!
Wow! When I saw and recognized how many bloggers before me have received this award, I went back to double check that I had indeedy(southern roots showing up here) seen my name listed. As a very, very, new, inexperienced blogger I can only throw myself at the feet of such awesomeness.
To paraphrase Wayne & Garth from Wayne's World, "I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy!"

Great idea for an award! I just received it a few days ago! Cool graphic too, but I'm wondering why the blogger looks so worn and sad??
