  2. Thank you so much, Melody and Xyra :) I'm touched! However, I don't think I'll do a post on my blog about this wonderful award - I know it sounds ungrateful, but I have so many posts scheduled and so many reviews I need to finish I don't think I'll have the time for it.

    Thank you for thinking of me, though, I truly love to feel the elegance thanks to you!

    Big hugs, Lexxie @ (un)Conventional Bookviews

  3. Note: It is my thinking that if you have been awarded twice, you need only follow the rules once and just give a shout out to the others that also gave you the award. :-D
