How very kind of you! Sometimes I reflect on the way my writing voice changes depending on who I think is reading. For instance, my new job at a library means my coworkers know about the blog and want to read it, so I’m trying to be more professional. When I worked at the theatre, I was loads more snarky. Perhaps I will blend the two moving forward. ❤

Interesting! I think exactly zero people in real life care about my blog. My favorite question when people hear I have one: “So, like, is it real? Do people, you know, actually…read it?” Hahaha!
I think the snarky tone is fun! But I can see where you might want to sound more professional in some cases. 🙂

It’s less that I want to sound professional and more that I feel shy. 😳

Oh no! I think your coworkers will appreciate your snarky voice, though!

Hahahahaha, perhaps! I shall keep at it. I just write a book review supported by gifs from the Adult Swim show Metalocalypse, so that’s definitely got some snark.

Aww thank you so much for the nomination. :3 I told hubby and he laughed, because apparently he thinks I’m mean or something. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Can’t win them all. I’m honored, though.

Aaaaahhh, thank you Krysta :). This was a wonderful surprise and I’m deeply honored. I also think it means I need to start adding “Book Blogger Award Nominee” before my name on “official” things like they do with actors who’ve been nominated for Oscars. So, on my students’s schedules for example, it would read, “Religions of the World – Book Blogger Award Nominee Michael Miller.” I like it :). What a special way to start my day. Thank you so much!

Oh my goodness. Please do add that before your name! All the time. Whenever you introduce yourself. Even in casual situations like meeting the friend of a friend.

Oh, I love this! How didn’t I think of it?? Also, I’m sure celebrities do this too. We only see it added to their names in trailers but I’m sure when they’re meeting new neighbors or the new significant other of a friend or something they’re all, “Hello, I’m Academy Award Nominated/Winner [depending on the celebrity and their given accolades] Leonardo DiCaprio. Nice to meet you. Do you like to play Hearts or Crazy 8’s??” And now I WILL TOO.
