Last Week on the blog:

My week: Good, I got my fabulous new design with the help of a sweet friend. I've done some work on it thanks to some tips from Kimba and Ashley's blogs.  Sara took the picture for my blogger, and showed me how to use the basics of Pixlr as well as some of the features I wasn't aware of for blogger customization. I wanted something a bit simpler and I'm in love. I made my new social media icons, and rating system.


What are you reading? Any of my books new to you or have you read any of my books? If so, what did you think?

    Your blog looks beautiful! I had to stop by & tell you that. I got an email update with the new name & got confused. I am glad it was you. I do not have an STS post, but just wanted to compliment the new look <3

    I need help in redesigning my blog too! It's time, I'm either lazy, busy, or not feeling well and I can't around to doing it. Sigh, I hope I get to complete that task before the year ends. Eager to see the finished product!

    Congrats on the new design!!! Plus, well done on making your icons. I'm so bad at that, they always end up being different sizes and just looking awful haha

    It took me a lot of trial and error, and it was easier this time around because she showed me how to use pixlr

    Thanks, I was hoping it wouldn't be too confusing for readers, so did name change last week and then design, but no plans to change url right now.

    Congrats on the new design! I like it a lot :) I loved The Winner's Curse! And eventually, at some point in my life, I will read What I Thought Was True. I just can't seem to find the time! And not having a copy doesn't help LOL. Have a fabulous week, Brandi!

    Thanks for visiting my blog!

    I liked The Winner's Curse too. It was slow to start but I really got into it by the second half. Loving the new blog design!

    I'm loving the new look Brandi. I often contemplate making a huge change, like going to WP but I don't want to lose all the traffic. Do you use a plug in to get the book details in your review posts? I manually put everything into my posts, but I know Kimba has it easy... It makes me wonder whether it would be worth it.

    Thanx for visiting My Weekly Wrap-Up!

    Thanks! No, I don't have a plugin. I put it in myself, but I get most of the info from Goodreads. Which I just read Kimba's (i think) post about downloading pic instead of just copying from GR, so that is another step

    Sounds like you had fun with the designing! I loved doing mine, you definitely learn some things when you do things yourself. :) I've read The Winners Curse and Between the Lives which I really enjoyed, can't wait for The Winners Crime! :D

    I used to do that, but I can't get much in the way of downloads at home, so I have to copy/paste the pics...
