Hi guys!
So, have you noticed? I have a new blog layout, designed by the lovely Ashley from Dinosaur Stew! (Check out her etsy shop, it’s beyond awesome.)
There are two different parts to my new blog layout; one part is at the unique homepage and the other part is my blog posts.
So, do you like it? I love it and I hope you do too!
To celebrate my new design, I’m hosting a giveaway!
Since almost everyone I know is excited for Crown of Midnight, which is going to be released on August 27 next month, I’m giving away a SIGNED hardcover of Throne of Glass! I’ll even add a signed bookmark as swag!
Interested? I hope you are!
Terms & Conditions:
- This contest is open INTERNATIONALLY.
- The giveaway will run until August 16, 2013.
- You must be 18 years or older, or have parents’ permission to enter.
- All your entries will be disqualified if you pickup entries for something you haven’t done. (I check ALL your entries.)
- If you only use ONE account to do all these tasks and enter under different names, they will still only constitute as ONE entry.
- If the winner does not respond to my e-mail within 48 hours, I will have to choose another winner.
- I am not responsible for any items lost in the mail.
Wow, it looks great! Congrats on the new design! :)

Kelly recently posted…ARC Book Review: Dirty Little Secret – Jennifer Echols
I love your blog design! I love the simpler designs without a lot of clutter. The only thing is I can barely see what I am typing as I comment. But I can get over that! :)
I could barely read what I’m typing too, which is why I just made the font size bigger. I hope you can read it now. ;D
Thanks for your input Rachel! (:

I love the new design, but it’s really hard to read with the pale grey font on the white background D:
It is? ):
I’ll have to see if I can change that.

The header font is one I chose myself – it’s called Amatic. You can get it in Google Fonts I think.

Yes, I like the color and fonts. I don’t really like that I have to scroll all the way to the bottom, though, in order to find your social media buttons.

Kelly recently posted…Top Ten Words/Topics That Will Make You NOT Pick Up A Book
The new blog design is charming – it makes me feel like I’m on a summer vacation. I also like the fonts you use. My only negative is that it’s a little light and hard to read… :-)
Niki Hawkes recently posted…Top Ten Tuesday – Top Ten Words/Subjects that Almost Kept Me from Reading These Great Books (7/23/2013)
I know – I’ll need to change the font color soon. ):
Kelly recently posted…Top Ten Favorite Beginnings/Endings In Books
LOVE the blog design! I loved the old one as well, but this one is gorgeous too. So clean and simple–which is refreshing when so many blogs go overboard and overwhelm me. I do agree that it’s a little light (maybe a darker font, even just a darker shade of grey, would fix this). But overall, it’s stunning! :D
I just changed the font color. Hopefully it’s easier to read now!
And thanks Christine! <3
