New Blog! I need opinions

I have been struggling, working on this blog for over a year now. I love sharing all my personal life experiences and daily chaos, with a little of everything thrown into the mix, but I want to start a separate blog just for my books. One of my many  passions is reading, anything! I have joked that I even read product labels and the phone book purely for entertainment. I have been searching and researching TONS of wonderful book review blogs lately and even joined/follow a few. Now I want that! I want to share my love and opinion on whatever it is I read. Also, I tend to forget who wrote what book or what the title of something really good I read was. So it will also be a book diary for myself.
Me being well.....me, I want it to have a really catchy title.Now, by catchy I mean something witty and unique, and not including my name in the title e.g. Trema's readings. It just sounds so limited and down the road I may want to host guest posts or review something my daughter has read.So, I don't want people to think it is limited from the beginning. Also, that reminds me. I will be doing many genres, including YA and JR so I want a name that is appropriate and doesn't scare off any younger readers. Here is a quick list of blog names my daughter and I came up with one night. I am stumped and cannot get those creative juices going today. Let me know what you think. Any comments, suggestions, changes are appreciated. I really want to know what you think and will take any help you give.

1.Pages for Pleasure
2. Log on Library
3.Library Reads
4. Passion for Pages
5.A Novel Affair(this was my favorite until I googled the words and found 4 other book blogs with this title)
6. A Read a Day
7. I Read This....
8. Just Keep Reading
9. Got Books?(corny, I know)
10.Shall we read...

Blogging for Dummies!

Yes, That's me!!
Ok, I could really use this book!! I am either really blonde(which I am, kinda),  I'm just slow, too busy or too impatient. I absolutely love blogging, and reading blogs. But would really like to do all the fun things and the little add-ons also. I admit I am new to all of this. There are so many great blogs out there and I want to have one. A really great blog! So, here are my bumps in the blogging road, and questions I have.
1. How do I list all the blog buttons to show off my favorite blogs?
2. How do I join all the give-aways and blog hops? (I'm really interested in this)
3. How do you get a "chat/comment" box in the side bar?
4. Are they worth it?
5.How do I add a slide show without having to add the whole "album"? Just a few specific pics.
6.What is the best site to use to get paid for blogging? (for in the future, possibly)
7. And what's up with my Shelfari? I added the code, but it just shows a link and when you click it, it goes to the home page!(not my list of books)
Wow! I really need help! Bare with me ladies, I really am trying to get the hang of this.
