How's it going everyone! I hope you're all having an
amazing day! Today my blog, The Little Book Spy, is two years old!
I still can't believe it's been two years since I started this blog!
I'm still in complete awe that two years have just flown by.
Because of that, today I wanted to reflect and kind of update everyone on
my blog and talk about some things. I know it's probably not that interesting
of a post because it might be similar to something I wrote last year, but I
like writing these kinds of post. It's kind of a reflection of growth and how I
want to improve here. So, I hope you all enjoy!
Now, the past couple of months I've been scarcely posting on
my blog, which I'm sad about but I have a really good reason as to why.
If you've read my About Me page, you all may or may not know that I say I
take school very seriously and like several others, I'm in college.
Currently, Jordan and I are on our second semester of our first year of
college and there is only one thing that I can say about college. It's
hectic, crazy, and exhausting because I have little or no time to do what I
want! In addition, it’s stressful and
something new because I am deciding what I want to do for the rest of my life,
besides try to publish my books on the side.
Reading and writing has been put on the back burner unless I can figure
out how to squeeze it in every once in a while.
I started writing this post in January, the first weekend of February,
and as I continue to write and edit this, it’s the middle/almost the end of
February. This is what 5 classes does to
a person who has little to no spare time.
But I’m trying to make time.
Luckily by the time it hits spring break, March 12-16, one class will be
done and over with, which might give me more free time (hopefully, I’m praying
that I do because this is absolute torture having to do homework every day
without taking a day to relax and if I do take a break its one day out of the
entire week, like Sunday).
One thing that some of you might have noticed was my blogs
new look. Originally, I had used a
simple white theme, but I upgraded it on Jan 13th, to the pink watermark
slide. I edited and changed it to the
way I wanted it to look. Personally, I
wish I would have used this theme sooner because it makes my blog look so much
prettier and it doesn’t look too plain or boring. I’ll probably continue to use this theme for
a long time. Also, I decided to put in
my own 2018 Reading Goal on my blog. I don’t have a Goodreads and I really don’t want to get one because I have so
many accounts, it’s not worth it.
Anyways, I want to try to read 30 books before 2018 is over, and if I
make that goal, with the books that are currently on my TBR list, I’ll try to
bump it up to 50, just to see how many I can read. Normally, I don’t count how many books I
read within a year, but I’m willing to try it because I’m curious. So maybe this year I'll be able to see how many I can read within the year.
Anyways, onto more bookish stuff. I want to read more popular books that people
have talked about over the last year to 2 years since I joined the book
community on Twitter. Since I’m starting
to dwindle down on my built up TBR list of books that I’ve found, I’m looking
to reading some of the more talked about books that I have marked on my
list. I think it’ll be fun to explore
new and different kinds of books and read books by different authors. I’ve been lucky enough to catch a few sales
of some eBooks like, Daughter of the
Pirate King, Lucky in Love, and Catching Jordan. Hopefully when I have time, I’ll be able to read and review all of these books, along with a few other books that I've been meaning to write a review for.
That’s it for my update everyone. Thank you all so much for reading, I hope you
enjoyed this little blogiversary update!
I appreciate everyone that has come here to either read my reviews or just
to check out my page. This has been something
that I’ve really enjoyed writing and creating.
Thank you all again and until next time!
