It’s been an excited year here and I have a lot more to give you in 2015. I love my blog and I do hope you like it too, 2015 I plan to do bigger and better things, I hope. 🙂

Whats to Come in 2015

Because reading is getting a NEW look (most likely by the end of today). Because readings 2 year Anniversary is coming up in February need to plan an awesome giveaway. Lots will change next year but the fun and playfulness of this blog will never go away. I can’t wait for you to see the new look I have been working very hard on it 🙂

Here a few other things that will be changing (if you missed one of the other posts and some that didn’t make the posts)

  1. The blog will show a lot more of my personality and will remain fun.
  2. I will be reviewing more romance/NA/Comtemp books on the blog which means things will get a little sexy in some posts. A warning will be placed about the review if it has adult content and will never be posts the same day as a Middle Grade read.
  3. I wont curse like a truck driver but you might get a cuss word every so often depending on the book I am review or what happens during the week 🙂
  4. I still will NOT be reviewing Erotica. (sorry just not my thing)
  5. New Look/Design

  13. More Giveaways? Maybe
  14. My To-Be Read List meme, You can still help me pick my next read and I hope this year you will join me 🙂
  15. Lots of Visiting and Commenting on Friends Blogs and of course replies from me on my blog.
  16. Limabean Designs will be open for business soon
  17. Lots of Challenges and Read-a-thons some might even be co-hosted by me since I can’t seem to help myself.

    You have some great things on tap for this year, Michelle! And I can’t wait!!! 🙂 I loved reading your list but laughed out loud when I got to your crossed out one about requesting from Netgalley. I’ve stayed away – of course, I need to get my rating up higher so I’ll be approved for more anyway. Anywho, I’m excited to see all the changes your bringing here! 🙂

    How fun to see everything listed like this. I am looking forward to all the changes and new features coming to your blog this year. I am really curious about your new design!
    I also want to try and contact some publishing companies this year, I always thought I wouldn’t get any books because I live in the Netherlands, but it can never hurt to give it a try.

      I just got the Tweak Me v2 theme but I am so scared I will mess things up that I need a full day to do the design, not sure if it will be today or this weekend. I can’t wait to show the new design, it’s the same Idea but more muted colors.

      Publishing Companies are intimidating, I never know who to contact and I can’t figure out how people get all those books, Not that I need more books but sometimes I would like a surprise in the mail 🙂
