Back in June (I know – I’m terribly slow.) I was awarded the Very Inspiring Blogger Award.
Thank you Hannah! You should check Hannah’s blog out named, very aptly Hannah Reads Stuff, so as you can imagine, it’s very bookish. You’d love it.
Here are the rules of the award:
- Thank and link to the person who nominated you.
- List the rules and display the award.
- Share seven facts about yourself.
- Nominate 15 other amazing blogs and comment on their posts to let them know they have been nominated.
- Optional: display the award logo on your blog and follow the blogger who nominated you.
Seven facts? That’s scary. What can I share that won’t have you all running for the hills screaming?
Ok, let’s try;
- Standing proud for those who still live with bullying and showing it can be survived – I was bullied at junior school where I wore a fixed brace on my teeth and was called Jaws (from the Bond films).
- I can drink in excess of ten cups of tea in a day.
- I hate feet. Every-one’s. Even Patrick Swayze’s in Dirty Dancing in that log scene.
- I long to be more organised.
- I hate to follow the crowd, deliberately refusing to read books because everyone else is doing so.
- I’m not a confident person.
- I jumped out of a plane for charity and loved every single minute of it.
Now to pass on the award. This is always the difficult part with awards, some bloggers don’t take part in awards, some have already done them. I’ll list some great blogs that you should visit for all things books and/or crime, no pressure on the listed names.

Thank you for the mention Rebecca. I hate feet too. The worst part of my holiday was being confronted by all those naked feet!
Rebecca Bradley says
You’re welcome. Hideous things aren’t they! π
Prashant C. Trikannad says
Many congratulations, Rebecca! If you love tea so much, you’ll love India where people drink the hot beverage, usually on the roadside, all the time and through every season.
Rebecca Bradley says
Thanks Prashant. I used to only drink Emglish breakfast tea but over the past 18 months or so have started trying different flavours. I’m sure I’d be in my element in India! π

You’re really kind. Thanks so much for the blogger award, Rebecca. I’ll post my list of facts later in the week. Yours are really interesting. Number 7 tells me that you are more confident than you think. I’m not sure I’d jump our of a plane, but I think my coffee consumption is fast catching up with your tea π Have a lovely day x
Rebecca Bradley says
You’re welcome. I love your blog. The plane experience was also brilliant and I’d recommend it to anyone.

Thanks Rebecca for nominating me! I am a big tea drinker too!
Rebecca Bradley says
You’re welcome. You have a great blog. And tea makes the world spin π
Annalisa Crawford says
Lol, I’m with you on #5. And I’m impressed you parachuted – I could NEVER do that!!
Rebecca Bradley says
It was wonderful Annalisa. Really. It sounds scary but the experience is like nothing you can imagine. Saying that, I was only 18 when I did it! I’d love to do it again but I’m not sure it would be possible anymore…
MarinaSofia says
Thank you so much for your mention, Rebecca – and you know how much I love your blog, so a well deserved award indeed!
I’m with you on No. 4 – I used to be the world’s most organised teenager, but I seem to be losing that ability in my declining years…
Rebecca Bradley says
Thank you Marina. I’m not sure I can even claim to have been organised as a teenager though!
Alex J. Cavanaugh says
Congratulations! That’s a lot of tea, although I probably drink even more in water.
Rebecca Bradley says
Thanks Alex. I think water is healthier!
realthog says
Congrats!
Rebecca Bradley says
Thank you π
Margot Kinberg says
Rebecca – Congratulations on the well-deserved award! I learn every time I visit your blog. Thank you also for helping to take a stand against bullying. It has lasting effects on everyone and should be stopped. I think it’s amazing that you jumped out of a plane. I don’t know if I’d have had the courage to do that.
And finally….many thanks for the kind mention *blush.* I’m honoured.
FictionFan says
Thanks for the kind mention, Rebecca! And congratulations on the well-deserved award. Oh, and I so agree with you about feet…
Jacqui Murray says
We need a ‘really like’ button! I’m honored, Rebecca. Plus, I’m thrilled to learn more ‘insider knowledge’ about you.
diannegray says
A big congrats to you, Rebecca – I’ll be checking out these fabulous bloggers! π
danpentagram says
Ooooh, do I see my name on there??!? Thanks, Rebecca – although I’m sure I’m not very inspirational.
Pam says
Thanks for adding me to the list. I’m familiar with your capacity for tea drinking and I’m looking forward to a chat over a cuppa very soon π
