Ask Novel. I wouldn't suggest Wordpress which is what Jalyn and I use. Some things about the set up were tricky. Novel uses Tumblr and I think they make it pretty easy.

Sarah if you want something simple then Tumblr is good.
I'm trying out Wordpress, because I've heard from people it's good. Setting up my blog right now!
I'm in a reading funk and I can't seem to get out of it! Arg. I'm seriously contemplating reading the Harry Potter series for the umpteenth time just to get myself out of this rut! :(EDIT: The frowny gave is for the reading slump, not Harry. Lol :)
Everyone is having nice a nice warm day but for me were i live it's cold and windy. At least I'm at the library checking out some books!!!!

Got it. That's cool that you live so close to the water.
Sarah - I hope you feel better.

Find anything good at the library?
I checked out
And even though I said I was a book buying ban I ended up getting
in hardcover and
in softcover for $3 each. I also got
in softcover for $2.
So it was a pretty good library trip. Now my ban starts until I tackle my growing stacks....

I think it's also quite relaxing, because the movements are repetitive, and that allows you to let your thoughts wander

Thanks Tatiana! :)
Katy wrote: "Woke up to the news that we had to put one of my dogs down today :( Not the best way to wake up"so sorry Katy. I've been there :(
I had to put my cat down, saddest day of my life. I'm really sorry Katy. I'll be thinking of you! :(
It's weird how something sticks with you for some time after it happens. Last semester on December 12, 2012 at 4 PM my school was put on lock down because 4 gunmen were on campus. My class and I were stuck in our classroom for over 5 hours. It was a scary night. But to inform us that we were on lock down they announced it over the loud speaker. And today the alarm went off again and the first thing I thought of was the lock down and that there was someone on campus again. It just shows that something stays with you for sometime.
Katy wrote: "Woke up to the news that we had to put one of my dogs down today :( Not the best way to wake up"Aw, I'm sorry. I know how that feels, it's awful. :(
I had to put my dog down last year. (Well it's actually a year next week. :( ) And it was awful. I had him since i was 8 after my uncle didn't want him. So he was sort of my childhood best friend.
Angela wrote: "There was more but I cant remember them all! My library always has the BEST books."My library is AWFUL. :( They only get new books twice a year, And then they only get a few in, And they only ever get like 2 YA books.

I can't find a book that makes me want to keep reading... I start one, read a chapter and then decide that's not what I want to read right now... So frustrating!

I hate when that happens. Do you any series you have not completed? If so pick up the book before the one you need to read.

Just found out that my dad got tickets from us to go see a play Saturday Night. It's called End of the Rainbow and the musical focuses on Judy Garland’s life in 1968 when she attempts to regain the fame and glory she once had.

I should just move to America for the books LOL. I see all these posts on Tumblr and Goodreads with Americans library haul, And the one by me literally has 6 little shelves of YA books that are falling apart. You also get all the good Giveaways on here. ;)
Is "for the books" An acceptable excuse to move? ;D
LOL its a good enough reason for me! I dont know what id do with out my beloved library. Only 6 shelves!!!!!??? In all the librarys around me there is an entire room dedicated to YA! I never buy books i just go to the library. Its like shopping but free xD
Oh wow, That'd be fun. :)The only room they have dedicated to a specific set of books is for the kids.
The rest are just shelves.
My little cousin actually says "You have more books than the library!"
Aha. :)
My library also has a room just for YA and then they have the newer ones in a section in the front. What I also love is the audiobooks on mini IPods look a likes. I love them in my car. I just checked out my first one and will start listing to it Monday.
My library also got NOOKS that you can check out.
