The Sunday Post #3

13:20    11 comments

The Sunday Post The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba at Caffeinated Book Reviewer. The purpose of this meme is to showcase new book acquisitions and interesting posts from the previous week. 


So what's going on at The Hottie Harem:

Changed my blog design (again) and I'm much happier with it. The red wasn't really appealing to me and this look seems much more professional.

Also made a wonderful new discovery called GIMP, an open source GNU Image Manipulation Program for creating and editing blog banners and buttons. It is easier to use that I expected (of course, I make liberal use of YouTube tutorials) and I'm having a blast with it.

I'm spreading the word for two new features here at The Hottie Harem. The first is Covers to Covet, which focuses on book covers that have caught my eye and been pinned to my Pinterest page. The second is Hunk of the Week, which highlights the hotties chosen by members of the My Book Boyfriend group on Shelfari. 

Here are the reviews posted at the Harem this week:

Silver Borne (Mercy Thompson, #5)The Dead Room (Darby McCormick #3)

Silver Borne by Patricia Briggs
The Dead Room by Chris Mooney

Not to mention some other fun stuff...

Monday Musings - BBC TV's Sherlock
Top Ten Tuesday - Set in New Orleans
Hunk of the Week
Covers to Covet


And these are the books acquired this week (all Amazon Freebies):

Circle of BonesJust Evil (The Evil Trilogy, #1)The Gingerbread Man

Also won (thanks to Jill & Jillian at Busy Moms Book Reviews):

Wild Orchids


So what have you been up to this week?

    The black plaid is cute. I've tried using GIMP but I'm so bad with computer editing that I gave up, lol. I loved Paintshop/Photoshop, but it's so expensive! So I may try it out again. I hope you enjoy your new books!
