Hints? Tricks? Opinions?

by ⋅ 8 Comments

I have been doing some serious thinking about my blog and how I have been doing things lately.  Before I make any major decisions, I wanted to get YOUR opinion on my blog.  You are what matters since you are the main reason for this blog!  If you could just take a few minutes to leave me some comments below, it would mean so much to me for future use!

Is my blog design appealing, or does it have issues that you don’t like?

How do you feel about my reviews? Would you rather they be more lengthy or do you like how I try to just give you the emotional review?(the way a book makes me feel and what emotions it brings out)

Are there certain meme’s you would like to see me participate in more, or would you rather I stick to just reviews?
Anything else you might want to tell me to help me make this blog even better like the bigger blogs?

Thank you for taking the time to help me in this!!

COVER ALERT: This Side of the Grave

by ⋅ 3 Comments

Today, author Jeaniene Frost revealed the cover of the next installment in the Night Huntress series titled This Side of the Grave!  SQUEE!!!!

And here is the stepback of it:

Here is what she had to say about it on her blog:

“I’ve wanted gargoyles in the background for AGES, and of course, I always love cemetery settings.  As I mentioned in another post, yes, I know that Bones’s tattoo doesn’t match the description in the book, but if it had, you wouldn’t see it. Also, Cat’s not wearing her ring, but as my editor pointed out, when Cat’s out hunting, she’d leave it at home because she wouldn’t want something happening to it. So that’s why those things differ from the book description, but I am very happy with the cover and stepback. Big shout out to my cover artist, Tom Egner!”
I MUST HAVE THIS BOOK!!

Richardson yesterday, I just so happened to pick up an extra SIGNED copy of Return the Heart for one lucky person!  I also have some bookmarks as well to throw in with the book for you to keep or pass out to others!
RETURN THE HEART
by T.K. Richardson
To a casual passerby, Lilly Paige is anything but special. As a seventeen year old, she is faced with all the complications of a teenager, but deep down there is much more. Lilly has a gift, though sometimes it seems to be a curse.

Lilly can peer into the hearts of others – their deepest, darkest secrets are there for Lilly to see – but to what end? Raised by aloof parents, Lilly has been independent her whole life, but soon she will need to rely on her friends to evade an evil that has sold her gift to the highest bidder on the black market. Lilly and her four closest friends are immersed in a dangerous game of cat and mouse, that will not only reveal more about Lilly’s gift, but also her link to an old Russian prophecy.

Can Lilly and her friends escape the danger that is so close they can practically feel it? Where will their perilous journey lead them – to darkness or light?
