UPDATE
You might wonder, what has been happening on Sandra's World of Books. Let me just help you out there. As I have posted before, I have been going back to school and this has limited my reading time immensely. In just 8 weeks time, I will be having my final exams and I will graduate with this particular High School Diploma. After that, just another year of pain and torture and then I will be able to finally study in University. For those of you that are interested in what I plan to do, I will end up studying Russian in either the University of Leiden, Netherlands or the University of Groningen, Netherlands.I have read books and I'm slowly coming around to reviewing those, but don't expect me to be fully active just yet. I need to finish my design for this blog and some things have not been fully working yet. As in, I don't have a rating system yet, so I'm redesigning all my blog posts, removing those that are not necessary or no fun, and rewriting and making the layout better for the reviews that I have written in the past. This takes a bunch of time, so most of the reviews are not up yet, plus the design might switch a bit and such and such. But that won't be noticeable.
What I'm going to change
- I won't be posting certain features anymore, such as Top Ten Tuesdays. Why? Because I think most of the blogs post that on Tuesdays, and I love reading them sure, but if you've read 10 of them that day, I don't want to read another one anymore. I just want to come up with an unique way to come up with some favorites.
- I will end up requesting not as many ARC's as I used to. I will first read all the books that I have collected over the past month (LOL HOW?!) and read them before I will start requesting books. My TBR of personal books is so LONG I have about 40 unread currently and I think this amount needs to lower.
- I will also read more literature. English literature, Russian literature and Dutch literature (especially the latter one for school purposes of course) and I will try my best to review them so it might help you decide what book you would want to read. And I just feel like I have read more literature.
- Reviews might not come as regularly. I don't feel like reviewing all the time so they won't be up every few days, just whenever I feel like them. Because why not?!
- I also would like to introduce a new feature that has nothing to do with books. I will show you all my MAIL ART. For those of you that follow me on Instagram, you might know that I have penpals and I have been writing letters and designing envelopes a lot, so I would love to share with you my art!
I like your new design, with all the green and the cat! Looking forward to see in which direction your blgo will go. I agree with you on top ten tuesday, I like the meme, but after I read ten of them I've had enough. They do have some great ideas for tens list though, sometimes I write them down so I can use them for a future post myself.
