From Book Quoter at A Thousand Books with Quotes
"The Premio Dardos is a way to acknowledge the importance of bloggers committed to spreading cultural, ethical, literary and personal values, showing their letters and words."
Now comes the fun part: passing the award on to 15 blogs....

This award is one I had tucked away for safekeeping way back on May 12th. Like many other things I put away, I misplaced this award for a little bit. Then Priya posted about the Premio Dardos Award from Book Quoter that she had misplaced, and I heard a faint ringing noise faraway in my brain....I think that was right around the time 3rd quarter grades were due, and I was buried under folders full of papers....
Somehow I know that Book Quoter will forgive me, because her blog just exudes an air of graciousness. Book Quoter has a goal of reading a thousand great books and posting quotes from each books. Right now she has just finished number 57 (My Antonia). In her spare time she is a pediatrician! And she makes stuff with plarn! An all-around accomplished woman, in my opinion....
Have you noticed how much a blogger's personality, tone, and voice comes through, even in a book blog? That's why I like these awards--they're so friendly--and they give me an opportunity to highlight the many different types of book blogs I have come across. Each one of the blogs above has a distinctive tone or voice, and each writer has a slightly different perspective on books and the reading life. Some of the blogs in the list have a couple of dozen followers, and some have hundreds. By the way, when I can I like to highlight a blog which deserves a little more attention, and when I run across a blog with fewer than fifty followers, I have a tendency to follow that blog--does anyone else like to do this? Granted, I don't follow a blog just for the sake of adding to the list of followers (say, if it focuses on a genre I don't read much) but it does seem like a friendly gesture.
So: a belated thanks to Book Quoter, and congratulations to all the Premios Dardos Award winners!

aww, thank you for the beautiful award! you are definitely a deserving recipient and i really appreciate that you chose me as one of the blogs to pass this onto.
I just got home from my Book Club meeting (my favorite night of the month) and found this. This day couldn't get any more perfect!
Thank you so very much. I find writing about books so satisfying and so much fun that I almost feel I should have to pay for the privilege. Getting to know other
bloggers and discovering so many great books I would have missed otherwise is icing on the cake. To get an award from a blogger I admire on top of all that is such an encouragement. Thanks!
Thanks so much for the award and the kind words at the end there. I'm in good company!
Thanks so much - first award I've gotten in the short time I've been blogging. Really appreciate it!
