~ Gone Bookserk ~ READ-A-THON #3: April 28th - May 11th, 2013

Extra Site News: DOs & DON'Ts - What I Do or No Longer Do on This Site and Why...

Yes!  That time has come for me to let you all know what's going down on this site and what is no longer happening.  It's been a hectic couple of weeks and a few challenges have come my way that have pretty much enforced me to make some direction with this site.

There are many things that I still like to do on this site that I have been doing for a while, a few new things I'd like to get started on, and definetly a few things I will NO LONGER be doing.
