…{the written word} and a new look

Well…the new blog header, footer, and sidebar elements are up and running! I just finished up the new signature badge to complete the transformation (all supplies from Sweet Shoppe Designs).  I’m still in love with the simple white background…I think it makes the blog look clean and uncluttered…just like me! LOL! Hope you like the new look as much as I do!

In my spare time {ahem}, I’ve also been doing a little reading. I’m totally addicted to books that are in a series…it’s hard for me to order (much less read) a book that is considered “over” once you’ve turned that last page…especially if I feel invested in the story and the characters. Then again, it’s also excruciating to wait a year (sometimes more) for that next installment in the series to be released, but becomes so worth it when you realize that the story isn’t over and may continue for several more publications! This is why you’ll see several pictures with more than one book included in the photo. Here are some of the books I’ve recently crossed off of my “to read” list: 

diverg_insurg

The Divergent series by Veronica Roth (Divergent, Insurgent, Book 3 coming fall 2013)

kane chronicles

The Kane Chronicles series by Rick Riordan (The Red Pyramid, The Throne of Fire, The Serpent’s Shadow)

miss peregrine

Peculiar Children series by Ransom Riggs (Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children, Book 2 TBA)

my blood approves

My Blood Approves series by Amanda Hocking (My Blood Approves, Fate, Flutter, Wisdom)

trykke trilogy

The Trylle Trilogy by Amanda Hocking (Switched, Torn, Ascend)

watersong

The Watersong series by Amanda Hocking (Wake, Lullaby, Tidal {6-4-13, Elegy {2014}

wolves of mercy falls

The Wolves of Mercy Falls series by Maggie Stiefvater (Shiver, Linger, Forever)

That’s it for today! I hope to be back with a little review for all of the series that I’ve listed here on the blog sometime in the near future, so keep a lookout for that! Until later…

Hello Mercy, I missed you, and wanted to stop by and say hello! I had noticed I dont see you on facebook anymore, and wondered what had happened. Sorry its taken me awhile, but things have been busy here with sicknesses and all. I did get a chance to read a few posts back and had seen what you had wrote about leaving the crafting world, Im sorry hun. If it was meant to be it would be, and at this time in your life you have your family to worry about first. I know when my kids were little, crafting was on the back burner sort of speak. Anyways I miss you and hope you are doing well!!! Sending hugs!!!
