Michelle (shadowrose) Hi everyone! I'm Michelle and I run a blog that is devoted to book reviews. It features anything from YA to nonfiction, so there is something for everyone. However at the moment there is a bit more YA then other genres. I'm hoping to get a tad more publicity and then maybe if all goes well I'll do some giveaways.

Please feel free to stop by!

(I'm sorry I don't have a button right now, I'm not very good at making them)

I'm also in the process of redoing some of the older reviews that I have posted. Hopefully when I'm done it will look uniform to how I post now.

☆∞Love Frances∞☆ (literaryfollies) | 12 comments Hi Michelle, do you have the GFC Follower Widget/Gadget on your blog. Please tell me how to follow your blog.

I have a post on my blog that has info/the link I used to make my blog button.
It was truly easy. I used the editing program that Picasa (or Photobucket) offers to add my blogs name to my pic, etc. then I uploaded it to Picasa and went from there.

Please tell me what you think of the blog button maker if you do it.

Michelle (shadowrose) I have Wordpress unfortunately so now there is no nifty follower widget. They only offer the option to subscribe by email, which on the sidebar. I really hate that about them, and I've been playing with the idea to switch over to blogspot but I'm not sure.

Thanks for the link! I'll look in to it. It looks like it'll work out great.
