Giveaway Winners, a Blog Award, & Nifty Blogs


Hello my lovely Muses!

Wednesdays are normally reserved for book reviews, but since I just finished reading Emerald City by Alicia K. Leppert and am in the process of reviewing the book, I figured this would be a great opportunity to get caught up on informing everyone on a few updates!

Congrats to the winners! And thanks to everyone that participated! I have received such positive feedback, that I plan to have another Book-to-Movie E-book Giveaway "Part 2" sometime next month.

NIFTY BLOGS

I've noticed that some of my fellow bloggers have either a section or page set aside where they list some of their favorite blogs. I've decided to make a section on my blog where I list my favorite blogs to visit or blogs that I find nifty! This section will be located on the left side bar of my blog, right below my list of blog awards. I'm in the process of compiling a list, so it may be a week or so before the section becomes active.

If you are a fellow blogger that has a section like this and you have your own blog button, feel free to contact me. I have no problem adding your blog to my Nifty Blog section if you would do so in exchange!

Well, I think that is it for the updates. I am thinking about creating another blog, this would be for my insane tv series collection which is getting hard for me to keep updated. Creating a blog for my collection would hopefully help me keep it organized, but I am still thinking it over. Once I have made up my mind, I will let everyone know the details!

Keep your eyes open for a 3 movie review by Guest Blogger Gary Dion on Saturday!

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Best Wishes,
