This weeks question come from Tina at Book Couture: How do you spread the word about your blog?
My answer: When I started blogging I wasn't sure how to go about building a readership. I thought maybe following blogs might make a difference and it did but I have to say things really didn't heat up until I participated in the Book Blogger Hop. This meme and others like it enable you to discover other like minded people and therefore expand your readership as well.

You can now add Mini Shopaholic to your library as the latest installment to the brilliant Shopaholic series! I can't wait to read it, can you?
Here is my opinion of the difference in book covers for Mini Shopaholic...
UK cover - so cute and makes me want to buy it and crack the book open immediately!
US cover - a bit of a letdown, nonetheless, I will buy this book despite its lackluster cover because I love Sophie Kinsella's books!

Hi!! Yep! My background is new! I have a weird issue where I get sick of looking at the same thing all of the time, so I change backgrounds, layouts, etc. frequently! Lol.
