The other day, I was reading this amazing post by Millicent
in which she talks about a lot of stuff. One of which was supporting friends
and other bloggers – I’ve been kind of terrible at this lately, but I’m working
on it. I don’t often get the time (or have the energy) to talk about every
single amazing blog post I read, but I have taken to sharing posts on the A Book SoFathomless Facebook page that I really enjoyed so if you’re interested in
seeing what I’m interested in then I’ve linked that. We don’t really share our
own stuff there, but I suppose we probably should start that.
Anyway, in her post Millicent also talked about blogging
niches. We are quite obviously a book blog with some other stuff thrown on the
side. Now, we’re still going to be a book blog but we’re hopefully going to be
branching out a little.
We’ve been running this blog for almost three years, and we’ve
talked pretty much exclusively about Young Adult books. We still love YA and we’ll
still being blogging about it, but we’ll be talking about some other stuff too
and by we, I mean pretty much just me.
I don’t think this is something I’ve ever mentioned but I’m
one of those weird people who actually really enjoys in depth responses to
book. Not so much a review, but sort of like a cross between an essay and an
article. I’m studying two literature units at University this semester and I
want to be able to share with you some of the interesting things I’m learning
about. By this I mean, I will be sharing stuff with you. These will be sort of
like a mixture between a review/opinion thing and a sort of informal essay.
I understand that not everyone will be interested in this
and I totally understand if you don’t want to read them, I just thought I’d
give you all a bit of a warning.
Basically, Millicent’s post always make me feel really
inspired to bring more of what I’m passionate about to the blog and to not
worry about what anyone else thinks. Hence the title of this post. With that, I’m going to return to the
three million readings I was doing before this post distracted me.
