New site features

An overview of new features on the website:

* Over 200 new books added -- all series are up to date now!

* Powered by WordPress so it is fully searchable and makes use of tags and categories for organization

* The addition of graphics, or a "feature block" on the main page allows us to quickly let you know when there is a new author interview or book contest.

* The Fiction Guide section has been expanded, adding more books to each category, and new categories such as Urban Fiction

* New "You May Also Like..." feature that directly links you to related books that you may be interested in (I get a lot of requests from people who have read a certain book or series and are looking for suggestions, so I suspect this will help many people find new titles to read)

* Fiction series now list all books on one page for easier browsing

* Each book or series has a link to share it on Facebook

* We will be doing a book of the day post through our Twitter feed that will directly link you to a new book or series each day -- discover a new favourite author!

* This blog is new and I plan on blogging about book related news, my thoughts on the books I am reading and more
