Monday Musings

Wow! It has been such a busy weekend and Monday, I very nearly forgot to do my Monday Musings! *smacks forehead*

School started here last week, and I am a school bus driver, so that is taking up some of the time that I had been spending on the internet. Not to mention having to get up at 5:15 a.m. and attempting to get in bed at a decent hour! I am a night owl, so I hate going to bed and hate even worse getting up early. Plus, my five year old son is playing T-Ball, and we have a couple games a week, so that is even more of my time taken for other things. Like I said, Busy Times!


One of the Dark Divas, Jen, has come up with a marvelous plan, and she and I are working on getting it implemented. Soon, Dark Diva Reviews will offer an Author Index page! It will list all authors who have had reviews done here at DDR, along with their web site and/or blog links, and the links to their DDR reviews. This is a huge job for Jen and I, so it may take a little while to get all done, but I will be sure to let everyone know when we have it live.

I am also going to be rearranging the sidebars a bit, to make it easier to search for books. Hopefully I will be able to have that done by the end of this week, but if not, then next week. Again, I will make an announcement so that you know it is done.


I also changed our search bar. The old one stopped working. (Have no idea what was up with that.) Google recently added their search bar to the widgets, so I added it and it is quite nice. I have noticed that sometimes it misses some of the older reviews that have been posted, but for the most part, it picks up everything, I think.

We haven't forgotten the other things that we have been thinking about, such as a newsletter, but we want to make sure that our site is the best it can be before we move on to other things.

Don't forget that each day, we bring something new for you to enjoy.

Tomorrow will be our Teasing Tidbits, where you will be able to read excerpts of a few books that will be reviewed soon at DDR. Jen will also include a list of recent reviews posted here at DDR.

On Wednesday, Amanda will bring us, Wicked Wednesday. For the month of September, each guest is the author of a story that will be included in the Immortal Fire Anthology from loveyoudivine Alterotica! This week's guest will be Bryn Colvin. Wicked Wednesday is part of a month long contest, so don't forget to come back every Wednesday to enter to win!

Of course, we can't forget Temptation Thursday when Deb will bring us some delicious pictures to get our juices flowing! I can't wait to see what she has in store for us this Thursday.

Lastly, Feature Friday! Feature Friday is a weekly contest and features one author and one of their books. This week we have Regan Taylor. Stop back by on Friday and read the review and excerpt of her book, Michael's Flight and learn a little more about Regan. Don't forget to enter the contest for your chance to win a copy of Michael's Flight.

Have a good week!
