Going to check it out right now!
DeleteSorry I didn't come sooner
ReplyDeleteThanks for nominating me
It's just I get distracted very easily and start doing other things and then I remember there was something I didn't finish... well, it's chaos, I need to get organized. Hopefully next month will be easier and I'll do one thing at a time.
My cousin has recommended me the fallen series but I just haven't gotten around to them yet, I have the books on my TBR list.
I know, I so want a Roswell Movie at least, since they wont bring the series back. I should check the Lux Series then, maybe I'll like it.
Thanks on the theme, I didn't know how to get a design so I had to start drawing, I've never been good at it but figured it was better than having nothing. I wanted it to be unique
Rivie @ Bookshelf
No prob Rivie! I get distracted too. I love the monkey theme. They are really cute and unique. You drew all that? Your pretty talented. I think your design is cute and fun. Ria and I loved the Fallen Series. It's pretty entertaining.
DeleteAw, thanks so much for mentioning me, (also, you spelled my name wrongly, not Naja but Maja xD).. Hopefully, I'll get around to writing a post, too.
ReplyDeleteMaja @ The Rambling Readerista
