A New Blog Design and Other News
Some of you may have noticed that Books In Bloom is donning a new look today! I’m so happy to announce that I have finished my blog design. When I first started posting, I knew what imagery and graphics I wanted to use, I just had no idea what theme to pair them with so I just used a default theme. After a long search, I am finally at a design standpoint I can be proud of. In this post I just wanted to go over some of the features of the new design and also outline a few things coming in the future!

The Call of the Wild by Jack London
Buck did not read the newspapers, or he would have known that trouble was brewing, not alone for himself, but for every tide-water dog, strong of muscle and with warm, long hair, from Puget Sound to San Diego.

The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells
No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man’s and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinized and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinize the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water.

Top 6 YA Summer Reads
You may be asking yourself, what are the Top 6 YA summer reads? If you are, you’ve come to the right place! As some of you may know, I work at my local library so I get this question, and versions of this question, soo much…we are talking 2 to 3 times a day, every day. And It’s always hard to answer! (1.) because there are sooo many books and (2.) because my library doesn’t have super new releases. But after some careful consideration, I’ve come up a list of six summer recommendations that I think will appeal to most YA lovers.
