However please, PLEASE do not insult or degrade anyone else.Featured Discussion: I wasn't sure what was going on with the new genre, and I wanted time to take a look at it. New Adult, and I thought it was an extension of the current Young Adult genre, but I was wrong

Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga’s Reviews and is all about sharing the books you are adding to your bookshelf, be it the physical one or your digital one! This week I have been busy. I started writing Transplant again, and while I would love to do more with the blog I just don't have the time like I used to. I want to finish that book and start on a second. I have the idea mapped out, need to figure out the two characters, more or less etch in the final details. I am going on vacation this weekend so I won't be around to answer any questions regarding books this wee

[Update] - 8/20/2013

I recently went to Chicago and while on my visit I paid a visit over to Anderson's Bookshop. If you ever get the chance I would pay them a visit, if you are an avid book fanatic like me. Normally I would be joyous and excited to have paid them a visit, but this time was slightly different. It may be mainly my fault more so than theirs. I went last weekend and while I was there the selection of signed books was rather slim. I mainly had a few of the books, and I didn't want to rebuy the books just to get a signature. I tell myself I should, but I don't have the money

Work was simple and I got some time to work on this blog. I did a few things with the arrows on the carousel and they are now blue to show up clearer on against the background. I was looking to do that after a few of my friends commented that the arrows were visually hard to see, or were wondering what the widget was at the top. After describing it, they gave me a few hints on what I could do to improve it; ultima
