BBAW Niche Category or Featured Category Awards

If you wish to be considered for a BBAW Niche Category or Featured Category award, please write and publish a post on your blog with appropriate links to a) 5 posts that you feel best represent your blog in terms of the niche category for which you registered, and b) 5 posts that best represent EACH featured category for which you registered (i.e., Best Written Book Blog). You may use the same links for multiple categories if you wish, but please separate the list of links so that the judges know which links pertain to which category.
