We’re so excited for you guys to come check out our new site. Thank you all the the tips and advice you shared about switching from Blogger to Wordpress (self-hosted). If you’re thinking about making the move, go for it. I have barely scratched the surface of what WP can do. It feels like moving from a fishbowl to the ocean; a little scary, but so freeing. We went with HostGator.com.  Super quick and easy. No problems so far. Rather than hiring someone to design us a new site, I found an inexpensive theme on WhoaThemes that I was able to customize with the key elements of our current design (from Tawni at Forever Design Studio).  I’m not a super design savy, but I was able to modify certain things that someone completely unfamiliar with HTML, CSS, PHP etc might have trouble with, but so many themes are ready to go right out of the box that that shouldn’t deter you if you are looking to move to WP.  And I can’t forget the plugins!  Oh wow are there some cool plugins out there.  We’ve got our Top 10 Plugins for Book Bloggers listed on the new site, so come over and check it out!

A brand new permutation of comments today, Abigail and Kristina had both posted comments before I arrived on the scene, but left the Best/Worst to me.  Teamwork!  I loved the sinister shadow of DUALED, there was no hesitation on my favorite (and given how often I complain about overly Photoshopped dudes, my least favorite should not be a surprise).

When word first broke that there was going to be two Snow White movies released in 2012, it only took one glimpse at the stunning trailer for Snow White and the Huntsman (in theaters Friday June 1, 2012)to settle the which-one-will-be-better debate.  No contest. SWATH looks epic in every sense of the word, and considering the massive talent both on and off screen, it’s no mystery why.  I know exactly where I’ll be this Friday night, and I’m guessing if you’re reading this blog, you have plans to hit the theater too.  In the meantime, we have a very cool giveaway thanks to Universal Pictures via Big Honcho Media where you can win a SWATH Prize Pack including a T-shirt, necklace and ring set, cell phone mirror, and a copy of SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN novel. Enter below!
