What's on your desk Wednesday? + awards


What's on your desk Wednesday? is a weekly bookish meme hosted by Sassy Brit of Alternative-Read.com

Here's what you do:
Grab a camera and take a photo of your desk! Or anywhere you stack your books/TBR pile. And no tidying!
Add this photo to your blog.
Tag at least 5 people!
Come back to AR and leave a link back to your photo in the comments section.

However, for those without digital cameras or blogs of your own, you can do this instead: (or both if you are keen!)
List at least 5 BOOKISH things on your desk (I'm thinking your TBR pile or books you haven't shelved...)
List at least 5 NON BOOK things. (I'm thinking some of some of the more unusual items on your desk/table?)
Tag at least 5 people to do the same.
Come back and leave your link at AR, so we can come and visit your blog. Or add your answers in the comments.

I was tagged by Yvonne @ Socrates' Book Reviews

I am afraid mine is boring since I am very tidy (don't look at 3). And no camera, since I am not staying at my flat at the moment. But I was just there so..

Non Bookish
1. A letter from fed ex
2. A cardigan over my computer
3. A paper about being in the alumni club, have had it there for a year now, ever since I graduated...one of these days I will do something
4. 2 very old computer games that are collecting dust
5. A note about HTML codes

Bookish
1. A gift card from B&N that I won, and gave away the codes
2. My notebook where I write up the books I have read
3. Notes about when library books are due
4. A cd where I save e-books so I wont loose them
5. English- Swedish dictionary somewhere under the desk

Yup all my books are shelved and none at the table next to my bed at the moment, you who wanna do it, give it a try whichever Wednesday you want.

Ladybug @ Escape in a Book gave me the Let-s Be Friends Award :)
Thank you, I am glad to have met you too.

Blogs that receive the Let’s Be Friends Award are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers.

I give this to new bloggers I came across, or have known a while
