And look! I have buttons now! You can grab my butt . . . on! I think my favorite part is the post divider. I love the reflective branches and the book. *squee* And I have a favicon! A little clock favicon! Gah! I love it! All of these crazy elements are actually from an Alice in Wonderland-themed kit. It was just the sort of demented type of look I was going for. No cutesy, none of that. Kind of twisted, wholly imagination love and book-touched. Have I said I love it?
And did you check out my new bite ratings? While I love my little Scrat, it didn't quite fit with the new theme but lo and behold, Danny and I put our minds together and created something equally as awesome. And equally as relevant. I am so, so, SO happy with the outcome of everything!
In fact, I'm so happy with it that I'm giving away Danny's Pink Package so you can make over your own book blog! She has a slew of kits to choose from so you'll be sure to get something wholly original. It's a $40 value and if you want to add on little extras, they're very reasonably priced. Or if you want to upgrade to the Green Package (which is what this blog is on plus a little), you'll only have to pay $25 as I'm footing the bill for the first $40. The work she does is amazing (obviously!) and is totally worth the money!
The only stipulation I have for this is that you be a fellow book blogger active for at least 3 months with a posting schedule of at least 2 to 3 times a week. Essentially I don't want the design to be wasted or abandoned. I want it to be loved and treasured like it truly should be! So just fill out the form below to enter and good luck! Ends June 5th at midnight, EST.

I think it looks great. It takes awhile to load, but worth it!
This is incredible. I love it! I mean, your other layout was good and interesting, but this is so creative and gorgeous to look at. Congrats!
The post title made me lol :)
The header is awesome. Seriously. And I like that the posting area is lighter in shade now, your blog feels much more roomier.
Also, just grabbed your button. :)
Generally I like your new look. It does take a little time to load. My only problem is seeing the dark red print against the even darker background on your sidebars. And is that the word Reviews up there on the right by your header? I do love the post separators. Cool look!
I like the whimsical feel. :)
I just recently found your blog -- the post about what to expect for BEA. The new design is amazing! Very slimming :)
The new layout is gorgeous! I love it, and it actually loads a little faster for me than the old one did. (I can read everything clearly, including the word "reviews" and the sidebar text.)
Wow.. I just love it. Totally cute.
DONNA, DONNA I LOVE IT. It is really cool. Still edgy, but whimsical. Very nice. It loaded quickly enough for me.
I love the new blog design and verry fun
I love it! The header is especially awesome! Thanks for giving us the chance to get our own custom layout. :D
LOOKS AMAZING!!! WOW! I cant stop staring either!
I love it, especially the amazing header!
This look is great on you, it's slimming and fashionable and even better, YOU WEAR IT WELL!
:-)
WOW, it looks awesome!!!
Seriously Donna,I had so much fun with you working on this layout and it's awesomeness!
You are so wonderful for giving away a layout and I'm super curious about who will win it in the end! Wooohhhoo *big hug*
About the loading: yes the Header is very detailed which is why it loads a bit slower, but I still think it's worth it!
@Kathy: That you cannot see the linkbar on top of the header correctly might be due to your browser. I had this before, one of my girls told me that she cannot see the link bars correctly, for her it helped to update her Browser.
Good luck to everyone and thanks for the wonderful shout out Donna!
