Working on my blog design

So what do you think about the additions to my blog? I’ve been working on some new pages and tweaking the elements on the sidebar.
I added a book catalog page where you can order my books without having to go to my web site or an online retailer. I also added a “Hire Me” page to promote myself and my writing credentials.
On the sidebar, I added things like an “About Me” widget, a cover gallery and a Twitter feed.
I figure it will be an intermediate step in my blog design. My next step will probably be jazzing up the title font and backgrounds. I wanted to see how these additions work out first.
So how is it looking to you so far?
