The second annual Book Blogger Appreciation Week is coming around the bend and Amy of My Friend Amy has put together a little Meme as a quick icebreaker — a way for you to get to know your book blogger a little better.
The Undead Rat Answers the BBAW Meme
1) What was the highlight (something that happened, a post, an activity, etc.) of BBAW for you last year?
A fellow book blogger featured my blog in a contest. Participants had to come to my blog and leave a comment somewhere, then return and leave a comment telling the book blogger that they’d done it. I had an all-time high number of visitors for The Lair of the Undead Rat that day. A couple of people who found me decided to keep visiting.
2) What is one new blog you discovered during BBAW last year?
I discovered the Book Zombie’s blog called The Book Zombie and I love the tagline: Better Books for Better Brains. She is a librarian (if my addled memory serves me right — she’ll let me know if I’m wrong) and reads an impressive array of fiction.
I love the design of her website and I’m learning to be a better book blogger from reading her posts. Don’t be surprised if I steal an idea or two from her — we zombified types don’t have much in the way of ethics.
3) What tips would you share to help others get the most out of their BBAW experience?
Throughout the pre-season and especially during the week Amy will have several occasions to let book bloggers strut their stuff through a device called Mr. Linky. It lists the book blogger’s name and links to their blogs. Check them out. You’ll never know when a random book blog becomes the one you fall in love with.
You can find one of the first Mr. Linky lists here in this post: A Book Blogger Appreciation Week Meme!.

I love the idea of the contest at your blog. That just sounds like fun. I am so impressed with the organization of this event. The more I read the more excited I am. I should take a break…LOL
You wrote a great post here and really gave me a bit more of what to expect coming up here.
