A Guide: Blog Design


Welcome to the third installment of my Guide series, a series to commemorate my third blogoversary and serve as a collection of all of my blogging and reviewing knowledge thus far!  I'll be posting one Guide per month (I've published two previously, see them here: Pursuit of Reviewers, Review Writing).  I definitely don't know everything but if you're just starting out or you haven't had a chance to explore everything the internet has to offer, I've got your back!  You can see an upcoming list of topics on the Guide page.

Today's topic is all about the Blog Design.  I'm not going to go too much into code or anything and this applies mostly to Blogger blogs (I've actually been meaning to switch to Wordpress and an actual domain for a while but I just haven't had the time) because that's what I've had experience with.  Enjoy!

Review and Release Tuesday: 18 Hours to Us by Krista Noorman


Standalone to date

Goodreads Blurb:
"When Natalie Rhodes left her house early that fateful morning to catch the bus to her senior class trip, she never expected to end up in a car with Colton Daynes--the guy she's had a crush on since first grade, the guy who has no idea who she is. But when Colton's irresponsible driving causes them both to miss the bus, the unlikely pair set off on a road trip from Michigan to Virginia Beach to catch up with their classmates.

From the little village of Middleville, the popular football star and the quiet gymnast will navigate back roads and highways, travel from lake towns to waterfalls to mountaintops and beyond, all the while fielding texts from Colton's friends and mean girl, Lexi, who also happens to be Colton's girlfriend and Natalie's former best friend.

Hours spent together on the road will lead them to places they've never been, discovering hidden talents, revealing secrets and fears. And they just might realize they have more in common than they know."

Review Tuesday: Something in the Water by Ben Starling


Series: Something (no particular order)


Goodreads Blurb:
"The sealed box Teal finds in the street contains more than just a mystery...What if to be with the man of your dreams…you had to give up your life? On the verge of losing her job, side-lined journalist Teal Douglas is forced to travel to the South Pacific to profile a powerful businessman. But with her almost-but-not-quite fiancĂ© Bear discouraging her every step of the way, she may not be able to save her career or her relationship.

When corporate criminals invade paradise, Teal teams up with former boxer turned marine biologist Perry Stanley to investigate. As she discovers the true intentions behind their new fishing operations, she must either accept the plum promotion that will save her career or—with Perry—defend the island with more than her life.

This full length novel in the soul-stirring series by Ben Starling continues the journey begun in Something in the Air, a short story now available on Amazon."

October Wrap-Up


I am catching up!! (can you hear the conviction?)  I haven't done a wrap-up since April and I made a resolution at the beginning of the year that I would try to get a wrap-up posted for every month.  Obviously that isn't really happening because of my summer of terror but I'm going to finish out the year strong!
