Poll Results: It’s All About Layout

Recently I conducted a little blog poll asking what kind of blog layout you prefer.  After 100 responses here are the results:   I was thinking of changing to one sidebar for a cleaner look.  However the votes for two sidebars, even factoring in those of you who have no preference, are in the majority [...]

Lay It Out–I Want To Know

This may come a huge surprise to some of you but I like to tinker with my blog design. I know, I’m sorry to break it to you this way but it was bound to come out sooner or later. Anyhow, after numerous designs and tweaks over the past year, I’ve come to realize I [...]

Sci-Fi: I’m back! Tell Me What To Read

Happy Valentines Day

Being a romance reader you’d think I’d be all over Valentines Day.  But the truth is, I’ve never really gotten all that excited about it.  Sure, I like to give my kids little valentines and maybe make a special meal for my sweetie, but this romance junkie likes romance year around in small and unexpected [...]

According to this post by Karen Marie Moning on her message board the official release date for Shadowfever is December 28, 2010.  *sob*  I was really hoping for the late summer release that was reported earlier, but it’s not to be.  Karen does say that the book is much longer and they’ve got a ton [...]
