New Layout and Contest Reminder

What do you think of the new layout? I wanted something that looked a little cleaner and fun, so I hope you like it!:)

Since I can't seem to keep up with my audiobooks, so Audiobook Friday is going to be a monthly feature I think.

Also, don't forget that if you want to win a copy of Evermore, leave a comment on my Most Anticipated YA of 2009 post for a chance to win-winner will be announced Valentine's Day!

And of course, the I LOVE BOOKS Contest is going until Feb. 28th, so keep those comments coming!:)

    I like the new layout! Where did you find a 3 column one that was decent. I haven't seen any. :/

    I like the look. If the background is too busy or too dark, it's difficult to read which means I spend less time at the blog.

    This uncluttered, soothing color. Creates a peaceful mood.

    Brooke-I found a way to make a 3 column template with HTML, and then found a background at "The Cutest Blog on the Block" There's a link for them at the top of my blog.

    Erika-Thanks I'm glad you like it!:)

    Bookworm-I like the green-I'm glad everyone thinks it's pretty and calming.

    Susan-I don't like busy backgrounds either-it makes it hard to read. Glad you like it!:)

    I commute so I do audiobooks a lot. Some of them are great, some not so much! The last ones I did were Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell and The Heretic's Daughter and they were both amazing!

    I like your new layout because it has three columns and doesn't have that "generic layout" look. But it would be nicer with more color or a banner.

Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell

Rating: 5/5 Stars Genre: Realistic Fiction Release Date: 2/26/2013 Add to Goodreads About the Book: Eleanor and Park are both misfits. When new girl Eleanor sits next to Park on the bus, they don't want anything to do with each other. But over the course of the school year, things change. It starts with comic books and becomes a friendship and a romance that the two will never forget. You never forget your first love. GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: Have you ever had a book sit on your shelf that you've heard so much hype about? And you think that books sounds like it would be right up your alley, but you're in a reading slump and you're afraid to give it a try unless it fails? I knew Eleanor and Park sounded like my perfect book, but I was in such an after committee slump that I even though I knew this book would help, I just didn't want to be disappointed. I should have known better because Eleanor and Park was perfect and everything that I had hoped it wou

Post Downton Abbey Reading List

Downton Abbey is over (with a shocking and frustrating ending!) and now I'm suffering Downton Abbey withdrawal. I've got a reading list full of books that I hope will satisfy my post-Downton Abbey cravings and I thought I'd share what's in my pile and get suggestions for other after Downton reads. Here's what I hope to be reading this year (a mix of YA and adult titles):                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  A couple Julian Fellowes reads:                And a few re-reads:                    Edited to add: What's on your Post-Downton Abbey reading list?

Tween Tuesday: Drizzle by Kathleen Van Cleve

Rating: 2.5/5 Stars Genre: Magical Realism Release Date: 3/4/2010 Add to Goodreads About the Book: Polly Peabody lives on a magical farm. They grow chocolate rhubarb, it rains every Monday at exactly 1:00, and her best friend is a plant named Harry. When the rain stops, Polly's brother falls ill, and her aunt wants to sell the farm, Polly must figure out a way to save her beloved home. GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: Drizzle is on our state book list and one of our Chat & Chew book club picks. The kids reviews were mixed on this one and sadly, it was my least favorite of all the books we read for Chat & Chew. The kids that liked it said it had action, but for me the plot was slow and dragged too much. The book could have been edited down and I lost interest in the story. I liked the magical farm that Polly lived on, but the magic wasn't enough to hold my interest. I felt like the plot went around in circles too much and never got going. The ending was also a bit
