As you can see, the blog had a makeover last week! It happened after my Sunday Post went up, and I didn’t realise my sister was doing it until she was halfway through! It was exciting and I have wanted to share it with you for ages.
I have also decided to cut back on the number of posts that I schedule, combining reviews with teasers so that you can get as much detail about each book in the one post! I have found it so much easier already… I hope you like it!
Annnnd… it was my birthday during the week, and today is Mother’s Day, so it’s my week, that’s for sure! I turned the big 37, and spent the day lounging around with the hubby, reading, sneaking in a nap… Got to love it!

Naomi’s Weekly Wrap Up is a combined meme with the Sunday Post hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer, Bought, Borrowed and Bagged hosted by Braine @ Talk Supe and Stacking The Shelves hosted by Tynga’s Reviews.
I absolutely love the new look, Naomi! The stars in the background are awesome, and it looks like they're carved in ice :) Tell your sister well done from me.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, and happy mother's day, too. I'm glad you had a great day, being able to take a nap is the biggest luxury.
You got some great books, too! I would advise you to wait to read Never Never #1 until the 2nd one comes out. I'm still reeling form the ending!!
Have a wonderful week ahead and happy reading :)
OOoh a few tweaks since I was last here! Still love the new site! It's awesome!!! And great new reads too! They're all new to me but I hope you love them all!
ReplyDeleteHere's my STS
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
Happy birthday !!!! Happy mother's day, also ;) I see you've read Get off the pain too, I can't wait to see what you think of it :) Enjoy your week-end !
ReplyDeleteI snagged the freebie too!
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day AND belated Happy Birthday! You have the same bday as my sis, ;)
I will get to Wolfe this week. Have a fab week ahead, Naomi. And I love the makeover!
I've been looking at Never Never and With Visions Of Red! Both sound great and I just might snatch them up.
ReplyDeleteLove your new design. It's you!
Happy Mother's Day and Happy Birthday!
My Sunday Post - http://fuonlyknew.com/2015/05/10/whats-new-on-my-bookshelf-108-and-the-sunday-post/
Oh I think it's a great idea for you to combine the two! It gives your readers a taste of what's in store. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's day!
Happy belated birthday! And Happy Mother's Day! Well, Simon & Schuster obviously loves you :D Your upcoming Talon review - can't wait!!! And Never Never looks yummy. I already said it, but I love the new layout <3
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday & Mother's Day!! Hope you had a good one! And yay for the update. It was fun watching it show up :D I like the combined posts. I started doing that with my Quote-tastics this year (instead of just doing a quote) and it helped a lot with time and space for reviews :)
ReplyDeleteFair Game sounds like a great one. Hope you enjoy, have a happy mother’s day and great upcoming week. Also happy late birthday!
ReplyDeleteNever Never looks so good! I hope you end up loving it--and the rest of your books!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lexie! Glad you like the look, I do love it, I just need to get the rest changed over.
ReplyDeleteI plan on waiting for the Never Never books to be finished... I saw there may be a third too.
Thanks Jessica! I'm loving the look, glad everyone else does too!
ReplyDeleteGirl, I love that author, she hasn't disappointed me yet!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you!
Thanks! Glad you like the look, I'm loving the positive feedback!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get them Laura! I loved WVoR! Great quick read and I want more!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it!
And thanks!!
That is what I thought too, can get a small feel for the book!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ramona!
ReplyDeleteS&S been awesome! I love the books they've been sending!
Talon was great... I want more!
I think it is better for the readers to get all the info in one post, so I am enjoying it. Still catching up though... I'm only 2 weeks ahead in posts... getting there slowly!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks Anna!
I'm reading Fair Game right now and really enjoying it! I did have a great Mother's Day, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI hope so too, but I think I will wait until the books are all done!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Late Birthday! :) Seems like you had a good week!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday and a late Mothers day! I do love your blog, it's so much fun and all colorful!
ReplyDeleteJust finished Fair Game. Hope you enjoy.
ReplyDeleteHappy 37th Birthday Friend :) I'm glad you had a wonderful and relaxing weekend :) I'm looking forward to your reviews this week! I've been curious about Rogue, so I want to see what you have to say! I'm also reviewing Fair Game and All Played out this week, and I love reading reviews of books I've read to see what other bloggers think as well!!!

Happy birthday & happy mother's day! It looked like you had a great week :)
ReplyDeleteThe blog makeover looks great, good for you. Combining posts was a good idea, you did post a lot and it was great but I know it must put a strain on you to keep up. That's what happened to me, I have to take breaks every so often. I just had a break for a few months actually, lol. I needed it, I worked out a lot haha. Now I'm trying to get back on track. You do such a good job on your blog :)
Happy birthday and Mother's day =D! I hope you had a perfect and wonderful week :). Also, I love your new blog design so much! The stars in the background and the colors! It looks wonderful :D
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday & mothers day as well! :) Your book haul looks great though, hope you enjoy those beauties <3 Benish | Feminist Reflections
ReplyDeleteCombining teasers with thoughts is a great way to go. As you've probably noticed, I've been doing it for a while now and it does make things easier.
ReplyDeleteNice haul. Never Never is waiting at the library for me. Just need to find time to pick it up.
No StS post for me this week. Too busy with Mother's Day celebrations.
I did! Thanks girl!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I am loving the colours too!
ReplyDeleteAlmost finished! It's been great!
ReplyDeleteHehe! Yes, we seem to read a lot of the same stuff! I did enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you!
Thank you! It was a great week.
ReplyDeleteCombining posts have been the best idea! Takes a lot of stress off!
I did, thank you!
ReplyDeleteAnd I am glad you like it! I do too!
I'm sure I will! And thank you!!
ReplyDeleteI did my post on Thursday... have to keep ahead!
ReplyDeleteNever Never was free on Amazon.. had to snap it up!
Yeah you did a lot, this should be a little bit of a break.
ReplyDeleteI was like that too, had too many posts going up. I generally only sign up for books I want to review and combine them together. On Friday's I pick a book to spotlight from the Tour companies...
ReplyDeleteMy sister did do a fantastic job, thanks Jennifer!
I love the new look! And your idea of combining reviews with teasers is brilliant. I've had to cut down on the number of posts I do, too. I hardly sign up for cover reveals or blitzes anymore, got too burned out and I worried I was losing readers. Gorgeous new look! Your sister did fantastic! :D
