Book Review: Since Drew, J. Nathan

Title: Since Drew Author: J. Nathan Published: 23 April 2015, Self-published Pages: 253 Source: Giveaway Format: Ebook Rating: 3/5 All Andi Parker ever wanted, all she's ever dreamed of, is a spot on the Olympic track team. But when an accident leaves her hospitalised with serious injuries and shattered dreams, she's not only uncertain what her future holds but also completely alone. Drew Slater is a wanted man. Professional football teams want him for his arm. women want him for his good looks and magnetic personality. but the well-crafted disguise he wears, the one that helps him score on and off the field, hides secrets. Conceals, lies. Threatens the happiness of everyone around him.  Once chance encounter brings Andi and Drew together, changing their worlds in ways they never thought possible. Unfortunately, what they thought they knew about themselves - and about each other - might just be the biggest lie of all!

I got Twitter!

As the title suggests... I FINALLY GOT TWITTER! You can now follow me @myexpandingbook. I've been meaning to do so since I first started this blog in February but I kept putting it off. Mainly because I've been so busy. But also because I have no idea how to use Twitter. Therefore, any hints and tips any of you lovely people can offer would also be greatly appreciated. On a side note, as you can see I've made a few (a lot) of changes to my blog design. I'm still not one hundred percent sure if I like it and I'm trying to make myself a snazzy banner but any feedback would also be great.
