Hi Guys, Abigail here. There is not conversation snippet with my TBR Pile today. Instead I have a few updates for you. First, you may notice things look a little different today that’s because I’ve finally updated the layout for the Hot Off The Press posts. This new layout is much easier and quicker for us to put together, eliminates unnecessary info (ISBNs etc) while keeping the description etc., and allows us to include a larger cover image. Hopefully you guys will like the slightly streamlined layout, but as always, sound off in the comments or on twitter @Abigail_ATUF if you aren’t happy (or if you are happy). I’m including the Amazon storefront again since I know it can be nice to see prices (plus, if you want to support ATUF and plan on buying through Amazon, it’s one stop shopping). However, we ARE NOT ditching our traditional Hot Off The Press posts, we are just including the Amazon store as an extra :)

Second, All Things Urban Fantasy is on Pinterest! We’ve got a few boards right now that might interest you, including a Book Cover reveal board. If you can’t wait for Wednesdays to see our Cover Art Coverage posts, I add all the new covers I spot (both US & International) almost daily. So check it out and follow us. Also if you know any great boards we should follow, let us know!

Third, have you joined Team Amity yet? All the factions are competing with each other, so every click for Amity gets us that much closer to winning. And if you are the creative sort, please enter our first ever Cover ReCreate contest!
