Blog Related Update:
As most of you have probably noticted, I recently changed the background of Lauren's Crammed Bookshelf. I'm really liking the change because not only has it allowed me to add new gadgets to my blog like tabs (Check them out! New info (including an actual bio for and written by me) has been posted in the About Me tab), share this buttons, and more, but it's the first time I've changed it in nearly two years! AND I would love to here what you all think! Love it? Hate it? Any suggestions? Let me know in the comments! :)
