SO MUCH EXCITEMENT IS SURROUNDING ME TODAY!
It has officially been 1 year since I started this little blog of mine!
The Thousandth Floor by Katharine McGee | A futuristic story full of drama and money, distrust and crime
Oh, how the premise of thing book intrigued me so. I mean, it’s described as a SciFi novel with a Gossip Girl feel to it – how could I not wonder about that?
I actually didn’t think I’d be able to get this book for a very long while, since I’m on a book buying ban basically until Christmas (pray for me), but then the lovely people at SocialBookCo contacted me through their review programme, asking if I would like to review this for them. So of course, I said yes!
This is the 2nd book I’ve reviewed for them, so you’d think I’d have come up with a better way of explaining the site by now – but basically This is a site that compares all the different prices of books from different retailers, showing you where you can buy each book for the cheapest price. And then there’s the reviewing side – If you join their programme, there are opportunities for you to be sent books for free in exchange for an honest review by a given date. So check it out if you’re interested!

Not that it changed quickly. But still, I’m sure it’s there. Unless I’m imagining things again.
So have books gradually gotten bigger over the years?

Blogger Tips: Helping you frolic through your blogging life [Design Edition]
After that little break from the blogging tips last Sunday, here we are back again!
We’ve had personal tips. We’ve had writing tips. Well this time, I’m here to bring you a few design tips
Again, the disclaimer of all disclaimers – I am in NO way saying this is the right way to do blogging. I’m not saying I’m particularly great at blogging. I’m just sharing tips that have been helpful to me over my year of blogging so far.
So let’s get on with the design tips!
Now I do have to admit, design isn’t my strong suit. It took me months to get my blog the way it is, purely because I’m so incapable of understanding technology. But I figured I might as well share what I’ve discovered through my hours of Googling and experimenting. So here we go.
Sidenote: All of these tips are entirely optional, of course.
