I've been reading regularly now which has helped with my need to return, but I desperately needed a spring cleaning. At one point I even considered a new blog, though I ended up decided to just tidy up and organise what I already had.
So this post is a just quick update to let everyone know what I've been working on and intend to do.
Also a big big thank you to all the kind words on my previous post, I'm much happier now and things are looking better.
Books and Tea Updates
I run another book blog on tumblr - Books and Tea - which I decided should be my first re-entry into the book blogging world.
I have:
- Added a new theme to the main page
- Written a new about section
- Updated The Book Blogger Directory
- Kept the queue full of images
I still want to change the side bar image, create a 2014 and 2015 read books page, and work on a format for adding reviews there.
Northern Plunder Updates
So you have probably seen me stopping by a few blogs here and there, thats because I'm slowly making my way through bloglovin which has helped inspire me and I've found a few things I want to take part in.
I have:
- Started catching up with my bloglovin feed
- Draft and schedule reviews/posts here
- Cleaned up old posts (removed broken images/removed white backgrounds)
- Changed the main font here (hopefully it reads okay for everyone)
I still need to schedule more posts really, clean up my Twitter feed, and figure out what to do with the Facebook page, but my main thing I accomplisted was unsubscribing from all but one of the book tour hosts. I love taking part in book tours but I think that may have been what killed my passion here, as I felt like I was reading and posting because I had too, not becuase I wanted. Even though I enjoyed what I read it was still a bit too much.
Sweeeet! Glad to see you're starting to enjoy it all again :) Hope it's all going well and you find some awesome books out there.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you reentering in the blogging world. With almost 4 years under my belt I know how overwhelming it can become. Read and share books that interest you. I rarely tour unless it is a book I want to read and schedule it as a review
ReplyDeleteThank you :) yeah I definitely agree, most of the books I did read for tour I really enjoyed but wow I did feel overwhelmed
DeleteWelcome back!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI understand how you feel. I recently unsubscribed to a lot of book tour hosts to as it just becomes overwhelming and not fun anymore. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and I look forward to chatting more to you.
ReplyDeleteExactly, reading what I want and when I want on my own schedule has definitely helped a lot. No problem and thank you too :)
