There were not a lot of concerts here this Summer and I was pretty busy too so I didn’t get to any. Thanks for the giveaway.

I like the new blog design, particularly all the small details.

WOW really? I want to see that!!! 🙂

Hahaha!
I love the design and plan on contacting your designer, it is BEAUTIFUL!
Hi Kriss. Thank you! I’m glad you like it!
Happy Blogoversary! Thank you so much for sharing the joy with this fun giveaway. Here ti to another year of joy and really good books 🙂 The new design is very lovely.
Thank you Denise! Glad you like the new deisgn. I love outside concerts! But yeah, in the blazing sun? No thank you! Good luck!
I have not been to any summer concerts this year. Where I live they are generally held outside and it has been so hot for me it would not be enjoyable!
I wanted to go to some concerts but didn’t make it to any this summer.
I love the new design!
Mermaids!
Thanks for the chance to win and Happy Blogversary!
Thank you! Good luck!!
thanks for the great giveaway. haven’t been to any concerts this summer due to being out of work 🙁
Laurie! Sorry to hear that! I hope you find something soon. Good luck!
Sorry, haven’t been to any.
I love new design. It is very easy to read and informative.
Thank you Jeanne! Happy Reading!
I prefer Road Trips.
Happy Blogoversary! Here’s wishing you many, many more 🙂 I love your blog and I’m so glad I found you! Thanks for all of the awesome posts. I’ve found some new favs thanks to you!
Hi Erin! Thank you so much for the compliment. Good luck on the giveaways! 🙂 And thanks for reading!
Hmmm… I think I’ll answer the concert question first. No, I haven’t been to any concerts. I’m not a huge person on concerts to begin with and I live in a small town, so we very rarely get anyone that I’m interested in going to see.
I REALLY like the picture(s) at the top. I’m a fan of the change. It’s definitely different than a lot of blog and it catches my eye. Also, the darker colors are easier to look at than a lot of the bright stuff you see so often, so I approve.
Thanks Bryanna! And good luck!
Hmmm… I like both mermaids and road trips, though I haven’t read a ton of either. Maybe mermaids? Road trips sometimes feel forced to me.
No, I have not been to any concerts this year.
I like the present layout of this blog. Most blogs won’t use dark colors, but I usually love dark themes. I especially love your header.
I haven’t read any books about mermaids or road trips this Summer, but I can see how both would have their upsides. Road trips usually bring friends together, and sometimes, strain the friendship. So, they have the plot of restoring that back to normal. While, mermaid books, on the other hand, make for a nice break from the ordinary. I would enjoy either.
Holly, Good points. I think they’re both fun for different reasons. Good luck and thanks for the feedback on the new design!
I haven’t been to any summer concerts. I love the new design, the birds are a nice touch. I guess I prefer Road Trips. Thanks for having this giveaway.
Anita! Good to see you! 🙂 Good luck with the giveaway and thank for the feedback!
I like the new look and design of the blog. I have not gone to any concerts or anywhere this summer, like usual. I prefer Road Trips, as I have not met a Mermaid to travel with anywhere. lol
Thanks for entering Kimberly! Good luck! And wow, if there was a mermaid that could travel….
happy anniversary, buggie! so proud of you and all you have accomplished.
I haven’t been to any concerts! We just bought a house and that has monopolized most of our summer
Congrats on buying a house! That is awesome! 🙂
Love the layout!
I have yet to read anything with Mermaids, but I do love road trip books!
Love the design. Thanks for the giveaway!
Thank you!!
I did not get to any concerts over the summer. I was lame and stayed home reading the whole summer (mostly). I love paranormal type books so I am a fan of Mermaid books all the way!
Happy blogoversary! May you have many more blogoversaries to come 🙂
Thank you Lianne!
Thank GOOODNESS the summer is almost over is all I have to say.
Oh and I was just going to tell you that I was freaking loving the new design and then you go and ask me deliberately what I think. You mind reader you!
LOL. I’m glad you like it! I am really enjoying it as well and hope others like it too! Good luck!!
I went to go see Luke Bryan this summer! It was a blast! I saw him last summer, too. :]
Also, I love your design on the blog! It’s so pretty and I actually prefer darker themes because it is easier on the eyes. At least I think so. :]
Thank you Stephanie! I like the darker colors too!
No concerts this summer unfortunately! I love the new blog look! Noticed it right away and really love the colors/design! Happy Blogoversary!
Thank you Erika! Happy Reading!
Happy Blogaversary!!!
1. The only concert I went to this summer was Big Time Rush with my 9 year old. So nothing extra fun.
2. The new design is awesome!
3. I prefer road trip books but mermaids are fun too!
Happy 2 year blogversary! I love your blog design I love the grey background with the touches of blue in it, also I have an affinity with birds:)
I have not been able to get to a concert this summer, but that just means I had more time to read:)
Mermaids, i love the design, and no concerts for me, although I really wanted to go to a few. Congrats on 2 years! <3
The only real concert I went to over the summer was Gaelic Storm. I love the new design, but the font in this comment box is a bit hard for me to see. And I have to say roadtrips- I’ve yet to read a Mermaid book that wooed me.
Happy blogversary, and thanks so much for sharing it with us! <3
great design, didn’t go to any concerts, haven’t read any mermaids
No concerts this summer for me. I moved so I had no time/money.
