Month in Review: May 2012

I just finished reading No One Left to Tell by Karen Rose. Great romantic suspense novel! I’m working on my review which will go up on Fiction Vixen Book Reviews this month (I believe), so keep a look out for it.

I finally tackled the drop-down navigation menu! It took me a whole day to conquer but it was totally worth it and I can’t stop playing with it. I put the sign up links and current month review link up links for the Outdo Yourself and Men in Uniform reading challenges I’m hosting. I hope that makes it easier to find those. I also now have a Reviews by Title page (in addition to the Reviews by Author page). In all, I hope the new navigation menu makes it easier for you to navigate the site and find what you’re looking for. If you have any suggestions, or if you think a link should be in another menu, let me know. And feel free to let me know what you think of the new navigation menu :)

 

June is here which means (1) my birthday is coming up soon and (2) my annual Birthday Extravaganza is almost here! I’m still working on the giveaway I’m going to sponsor. What book(s) would you like to see up for grabs? Do you prefer a gift card, like to Amzn or BN? Let me know; I need some ideas.
