Announcements
Accepted Wisdom is going to get a revamped look!  I feel it's something that can bring in more readers and improve how people view this blog. Laurynne from CBL Book Review Blog will be designing the new layout and I'm so excited to see what she comes up with! I'm not sure exactly when the revamp will be done, I just know it will be soon. Once I have more information, I will be sure to share! :)

The 31 Day Blogging Challenge is almost over and I'm proud to say that so far, I've posted every single day in the month of October! Only a few more days... do you think I can make it? I guess we will have to wait and find out... =-P
