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!

Tiger's Curse by Couleen Houck: Review

Image
    The last thing Kelsey Hayes thought she’d be doing this summer was trying to break a 300-year-old Indian curse. With a mysterious white tiger named Ren. Halfway around the world. The last thing Kelsey Hayes thought she’d be doing this summer was trying to break a 300-year-old Indian curse. With a mysterious white tiger named Ren. Halfway around the world. But that’s exactly what happened. Face-to-face with dark forces, spell- binding magic, and mystical worlds where nothing is what it seems, Kelsey risks everything to piece together an ancient prophecy that could break the curse forever. Tiger’s Curse is the exciting first volume in an epic fantasy-romance that will leave you breathless and yearning for more. “. . . a sweet romance and heart-pounding adventure. I found myself cheering, squealing, and biting my nails — all within a few pages. In short, Tiger’s Curse is magical." -Becca Fitzpatrick, New York Times bestselling author of Hush, Hush But that’s exactly wha

Follow Friday

Image
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 :)

Bookshelves, Bookshelves, oh my!

Image
So my shelves are all filled! With my little brother and I both buying books left and right, being gifted books, and showered with books from all sides (we are notorious bookworms, I think) our shelves are full. Believe me, this is no simple feat. We have four built-in glass-door wall shelves, two large metal shelves and a smaller wooden shelf in the Library, one blue cutesy shelf in my room and one in my brother's, and there is no place to keep the new books. They're sitting on the floor! (If I could find my camera, I'd photograph them for you!) So we need a new shelf. And while getting one seems unlikely right now (we've just bought a lot of other furniture) looking at glorious bookshelves can't hurt. Right? I would totally love this one. But more for CDs maybe?  So neat!  Yin- Yang. Aren't you gorgeous? squee!! Blue shelves! Gasp, more blue! Now, for the insanely awesome stuff:  Gasp! Can't be real. No way.
