Please bear with us as we take a mini vacation this week and next. We'll be back with an excerpt and contest on Friday, November 13 and will return with our interviews on Saturday, November 14.
Jessica and I have been talking for months about upcoming changes at the blog. When we started this blog in November 2007 (hey, we're two years old!), we were just going to talk about some of the books we liked and offer reviews. Then in June 2008, we decided to see if we could find a few authors who would agree to be interviewed for a little variety on the blog. We posted our first interview in July and the response was overwhelming.
Nearly a year and a half later, the blog continues to grow, but changes are necessary to keep the blog fresh. The biggest change is that starting February 1, we're revamping the whole blog. We'll be moving to a new web address and more than likely switching from Blogger to Wordpress (don't worry, this will hopefully be a smooth and seamless transition for you). Along with this move, we'll debut a whole new look for the blog. Our name will be changing as well as our focus. And last, Jessica is stepping back to be our web designer (after all she went to school for it).
Last month we held a name the blog contest. We thank everyone who offered their suggestions to us. We ended up coming up with our own blog name, but did chose a winner (Lulu) for offering a name that, when adjusted a little, will become our backup. The name we decided to go with is Romancing the Book. This reflects our new focus of the blog: a place to feature books of the romance (and related) genre.
As the debut of the new and improved blog draws closer I will keep you updated on the upcoming changes. Oh, and check out the poll in the right had side bar and offer your opinion...
