Updates and Giveaway Winners!

So, what's going on here at Staffer's Book Review (and occasional musings)? Regular visitors may notice that I've substantially changed the way the blog looks. Specifically, I've changed the name of the blog because it sounds more like what it is, a book review blog. It's also brought about a new character here on the blog courtesy of an idea from Rob at Rob's Blog o' Stuff (he's waving hello in the banner).

In other news, I've got another giveaway coming up next week of Tobias Buckell's new novel Arctic Rising. I'll also have a review of the novel up, and a piece I wrote taking a look at him as an author and a dude. There's going to be an interview with Elspeth Cooper, author of Songs of the Earth, next week as well.  Furthermore, I promise to try to do something that'll piss people off.

Have a great weekend!

      Great!

      On a side note - I miss the old banner. It always amused me.

      There's also a professional reason why I dumped it. Let's just say, Google is too powerful.

      That I can understand - if you notice I don't use my real last name anywhere on my blog and keep seperate Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. accounts for my blogging personality and personal life. And anyone who digs far enough will still find the connection, which annoys me but I've come to terms with it.

      I'm always bothered when I log into linked in and see it recommending someone like Aiden since I try to keep it all so seperate.

    Can I assume I'm the "Sherryl from Panay City, Philippines"? If not, I'm waging war on RoB and Ken for stealing my winnings.

    Oh, like we're fooled just because you changed Cheryl to Sherryl.
