My Nominees

Yesterday Factual Imagining was awarded “The Excessively Diverting Blog Award,” and as a recipient I am supposed to nominated 7 other blogs. Honestly, I could not come up with 7 other candidates not already mentioned; I read on a daily basis the “Big 3″ as I call them, Jane Austen’s World, Jane Austen Today, and Austenprose, and I believe they are all maintained by the same team that created this award. “The Gossip Guides” and Austenblog are also regular reads, and they have already been nominated. As I follow few other blogs (save a number of sites on Twilight, and it would be a stretch to nominate them on the basis of a Jane Austen mention here and there  ), I have 3 nominees, but they are good ones!!

1) Bronteblog: As more of a Janite, I have not always been kind to this blog’s homegirls, Anne, Charlotte, and Emily; but the Bronte Sisters have grown on me considerably, and this blog is to the Bronte World what the Big 3 are to the Austen World. If any of the Sisters are mentioned from Azerbaijan to Zimbabwe, you will be sure to read about it here. Very well done!

2) Elegant Extracts: Witty, humorous, and entertaining, this blog always makes me chuckle. From the Bad Boys of Austen shirt designs to the random rants and amusing comments, you will not walk (I suppose the better word is “surf”) away with a straight face. Thanks for the laughs and great writing! 

3) History Undressed: A blog concerning the history of clothes and fashion (and other topics in history), there is always something new to discover here, such as the history of socks and the truth about the Celtic Druids.

 

Recipients, please claim your award by copying the HTML code of the Excessively Diverting Blog Award badge, posting it on your blog, listing the name of the person who nominated you, and linking to their blog. Then nominate seven (7) other blogs that you feel meet or exceed the standards set forth. Nominees may place the Excessively Diverting badge in their side bar and enjoy the appreciation of their fellow blogger for recognition of their talent.
