I mentioned in the update post I wrote in December about wanting to improve this blog. And I have some plans and some ideas that I am ready to share with you.
First, I am going to do reading themes for some of the months. I don’t want to do a theme every month because sometimes I just like to read a mixture of things. For February the theme is Fantasy, not just because it is an alliteration but because the highly anticipated third book in the Crescent City series is being released on January 30th. And while I did preorder it, I do not think it will arrive on the day of. I will read and review the first two books in the series in preparation and hopefully by the time I am done I will have a copy of House of Flame and Shadow. I think the timing is perfect because I have been looking forward to reading the third Sarah J. Maas series, and I am also tired of dodging spoilers on the internet.
Secondly, I think I have improved the blog slightly with the pictures I have been taking. I do not know why I had not been doing it before. I love beautiful books, and it brings me happiness to think that everyone might be enjoying looking at all the lovely books I have in my collection. I’m hoping to improve my photography skills with time.
Third, I am hoping to improve the overall look of the blog. I will admit that it isn’t pleasing to look at. I know it can look better. Perhaps I will be able to do some web design on my own or maybe I will get some help from a friend or a professional. I have seen a lot of really beautiful blogs and personal websites and I want that for myself. I don’t know when that update might happen, but the thought is there.
Finally, I started a bookstagram. A long time ago a friend of mine suggested that I start one and I said I didn’t think it would gain any interest as there were already so many existing accounts out there. But I recently decided that why not just do it? It was easy enough, and I have already made a surprising number of connections with other bookstagrammers. It is really nice finding a community of like minded people. I love that we all support each other, no matter how few or many our followers may be.
