Do You Like This New Header?

So I was thinking that I should do a new header, since the one that's on the site was made for a time when the site was just for my novel Shaded. In the recent poll I did, as to if I should post reviews and other posts or not, all 22 votes said YES. It was a very unanimous decision, and I will humor that. This new header is done with the help of all the stock providers from Deviant-Art whom I owe a million and whom I will credit in the new and upcoming ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS page on the blog. I sort of like this- and I want to know if you do! If a lot of people do, I will put it as the new Header on the blog and change the layout! (Looks a little smushed because it is smaller than the original size. Click to see the original size!)

    I have to be honest here.... The new header is very nice, but I do prefer the one you have now. Maybe it's the colors -- I LOVE this particular shade (no pun intended, lol) of blue!! It's just very, very beautiful!! Also, the girl's stance is very dynamic, showing that she's a strong person.

    Maybe you could modify your existing header by putting in the additional words you have on the new one.

    But this is just my opinion. It IS your blog, after all. I simply wanted you to know that I LOVE your current header, as well as your blog layout, and that beautiful BLUE background!!!! : )

    Thanks Maria! Maybe I'll keep the blue header and use the greenish one when I start work on the second part of the series...
    Thanks Aylee and Lu: it feels great to be appreciated!

    You're very welcome, Ani!

    One more thing...when I first saw the second header, my first impression was that the girl was tied to the think tree she's sitting next to. Again, the girl in your present header looks way more dynamic, strong and self-assured. In fact, the ENTIRE header gives such an incredible feeling of dynamic energy! In contrast, the second header looks more passive and bland. Now that I think of it, I would strongly encourage you to keep the header you now have! It makes me think of a vast vortex of energy at the very center, or core, of the universe! And there's Ani, right next to that vortex!! YAY!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!!

    I really do hope you keep your present header! : )

    Ooooohh, a typo! I meant to type; "...my first impression was that the girl was tied to the thin tree", not "the think tree"...Lol!

Do we really need a preface? Anyway, Feature and Follow is by Paranjunkee and Alison Can Read and is all about blog love. Q: Best Cover? What is the best cover of a book that you’ve read and didn’t like? A: Oh, easy peasy. Masque of Red Death by Bethany Griffin. I loved the cover, but I didn't like the book. I couldn't connect with any of the characters, and finally just abandoned it somewhere near the end. I don't even want to know how it ended, or if there is a new book in the series. It wasn't sucky writing or a sucky plot, it just completely failed to make any kind of impact on me. What are your picks? Leave your links, let's share some follower love :)

Ah, been a while since I did one of these. Anyway, as you all know, Feature and Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read , and is all about spreading some blogosphere love. The question for this week is: Q. Have You Ever Bought a Book Because of a Bad Review? A: Yes, I bought the Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare after one of my good friends read the book and trashed it so much that I just HAD to read it. Of course, her being a Harry Potter fan and fan-fiction writer was the main problem here: she had heard about the whole plagiarism fiasco and we had both read Cassandra's HP fanfic- the Draco Trilogy- and she thought the Mortal Instruments was basically a recycling of DT. Anyway, I read the book and sort of liked it: it was mindless fun if you ignored all the glamour-people and HP comparisons and glitter fizz. I liked Magnus Bane, at least. Leave your FF links :) Happy Follow Friday!

    So it's my very first Follow Friday blog-hop. Yaayy.  Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read , and this week's question is.....          Q: Which book genre do you avoid at all costs and why?   A. This one's easy.  Historical romance.  Give me anything with princes, princesses, marquises, swooning heroines, men in breeches, stories about evil twins and lost princes and inheritances and dowries...and I'll faint. But not before I barf.      Anything where women don't wear jeans or, in fact, anything above the knee, cannot stand up for themselves against abusive males (or do stand up and is branded a rebel, a wild-cat to be TAMED. UGH) and one look from a male melts off her kneecaps is a no-no for me. Put in castles and old English and nasty, unfleeable arranged marriages and I am dead. Bear in mind that I'm talking about those pink-and-yellow jacketed...
