HAPPY FRIDAY!
In case you missed it last week, I have a whole bunch of new logos for you to choose from for the F56. Use the old one if you like or one of the new ones! I look forward to seeing what everyone chooses!
Also, don't forget about my Short Story Challenge.
My F56 this week comes from The Lady Elizabeth by Alison Weir. This was an impulse buy and I have no idea when I'll get around to reading it since I'm still working on reading through the Wheel of Time series again. Only on Book Three. This is the REAL challenge for myself this year!
Not sure what's happening here but I can guess based on the fact that at the top of the page it says Elizabeth is 6 years old here.
"There are so many ladies at court!" Elizabeth had marveled at their rich gowns, their bejeweled hoods, their air of sophistication.

Cherry, it is historical fiction, which I've gotten more into lately. I really enjoyed Alison Weir's first book Innocent Traitor and am looking forward to reading this one.
Thanks, everyone, for the compliments on the blog. I really wanted to do something completely different from what I had before. Just was so tired of the old look.
Happy Friday everyone from a frozen midwestern US. :) Mine is up here!
Wow, this sounds like a good one!
Love the new image! I "borrowed" it from The True Addict's post, but I see that you have it, too, so you're probably the one who created it!

Sounds like she's sneaking a peek at a ball.
Here's mine.
thanks for the new logos...will be checking them out.
peads? what's a pead?
No offense but that red lettering on the background is awful. I couldn't even see the 56 to read it.

She sounds so enthralled in yours!
My Friday 56 is up too.
Do you mind that I made my own button? If you like it, I can link you to the file.
Happy Friday!
Love the new lQQk, too! Happy New Year, Tonya!
As for your F56... made me wonder what's going on. Happy Reading!

New pics to use! I must go look.
Here is mine.
Lots of new players today, I'm so excited! Sorry everyone for the red writing, I'll go change that. I used that when I had the old layout and wasn't even thinking how it would look in this one. If anyone wants me to add the logos they did fr the F56 to the page with all the new logos, feel free to email them to me tonyablum@yahoo.com
Wow... love your blog! :)
