New Look & More For Monday

Today is a very exciting day in my little piece of online book blogging heaven!  Big shout out to blog designer extraordinaire Parajunkee  who is a very well known book blogger herself.  She gives out a discount to book bloggers, completes the preliminary design and any changes you want in a very timely manner, her designs have depth and personality, and she can do the install for you!  I am very happy with the process and final product, I hope you love it as much as I do!  If you are interested in getting some design work done I highly recommend you check her out.

Onto books!

I was very confused by the release date for Shift by, Rachel Vincent.  Originally Chapters had it listed at February 18th and then it was changed to March 1st however I made a rather large "squeeeee" when I realized my bookstore had three copies available.  Whatever the reason for the confusion I am very excited to be a few chapters in to Shift.  Being that I am still sick I hope to have this book finished in record time.

It was my original intent to have part two to my Canadian author post done on the weekend but being that I am still sick I am playing a bit of catch up so I am a little behind! I still can't wait to do a review of Juliet as it is one of the best books I have read outside of my normal genre in a long time.  Because it was so fantistic I don't want to rush the review but I do promise to get that up soon!

Exciting News!  The cover for the next book in the Shifter series, Alpha has been revealed!  For more information about Rachel, the Shifter Series, and about what she thinks of the new cover click here.

It looks awesome! I tried to design mine too so I know it isn't easy.

Thanks for the feedback! I originally tried to use some fun free templates but there was never anything that worked just right. Well worth the money spent!

Congrats on the new layout! I love it! Know how you feel about layouts - they're a major pain as I've recently discovered!

I just found out about the Shifter series. I'm on a book buying ban at the moment - but it's certainly one I shall be checking out when I can get a copy!

Book Ban? That does not sound like fun! Hope you enjoy the series!
