Firefox Personas - Book Style

Who here is a user of the Firefox browser? Are you aware of Personas for Firefox? Well, I have been making Personas for some time now. In fact, I'm actually a Personas approver ... which just basically means that I can approve or reject submitted designs. But for the last year maybe, I haven't done a lot with Personas whether that be designing them or handling the approval process mainly because of a medical issue I was going through. I sort of lost interest in a lot of the things that I loved to do and I then turned to reading ... which is a good thing! However, I'm trying to get back into the other things that I used to enjoy.

Anyway, I have recently made some Personas that feature artwork from various book covers. So below are the Personas that are available to use if interested. Clicking an image will take you to the Persona page for that design.

There are a bunch of other designs that I'm planning to work on at some point. If anyone has any suggestions though, feel free to let me know.

Awakening by Karice Bolton

Interested in winning a signed copy of Awakening by Karice Bolton? If so, head on over to the Book Whore blog.

Synopsis from Goodreads.

Alone in snowy, remote Whistler village, Ana tries to build a new life since losing her parents. With a cozy condo, a sweet-faced bulldog and an evening job to leave the days free for the slopes, life slips into a great routine. If only she could shake the guilt for not remembering anything about her parents and banish the night terrors that haunt her every dream. On a whim, Ana goes out with Athen, a guy she’s just met in the Grizzly Pub... The only problem is that she feels like she already knows him. Within 48 hours of meeting Athen and his family, Ana’s world implodes. She falls for Athen quickly and before she knows it, a past life begins to resurface. As thrilling as the revelations appear at first, she fights against the chilling information that Athen is from the underworld. Soon she begins to struggle as her own supernatural gifts are slowly unveiled, and she realizes that the nightmares she’s been having might be premonitions and not dreams at all. It is up to Ana to decipher between fact and fiction before it is too late, and her new love, Athen, follows in her same fate - one that is lost between two worlds.
