  8. Well... a forced redecorate. My other template just wasn't working right anymore. I should have a new one up in June.

  9. Yeah for May. Though there is a lot going on in the blogging world in May. I am getting caught up on my posts now so I am not overcome during the month.

    I don't know if I'll take part officially...I'm so bad with these type of things...but I like the idea and in general, I'm trying to get caught up on review copies. Most of my review books nowadays are from awhile ago since I don't take on a lot. I need to get through some of those though.

  11. I really try to not take on a lot of ARCs myself. I have enough books to read that are already published. LOL! I still wanted to help host the challenge though. I am shocked to see there are already 141 entries today alone. That's crazy!

  12. This comes at a great time for me, because I could fill a pool with all my ARC's (and not the kiddie sized stuff either!). Great initiative, I'm promoting it on my blog as well.

    And what, I was so lost when I came here, you redecorated :o It's a very clean site now, and so different to how it was! But change is good :)

  13. I will be getting a new design come June. I had to find one between now and then. The other one was screwy but once it stopped showing the blog title and the post titles I had to make an emergency switch! ! LOL!

  14. I'm working on my first review book now - finger crossed I'll get through most my list this month. Thanks for hosting - I needed this challenge, even if I resisted LOL :)

  15. Ok, when that starts happening, it really is time for something new! I'm already looking forward to your new design!

  17. Wish I had stumbled upon this earlier in the month. I need to catch up on so many projects, ARC's, other project reads and blog post.
