Recent Rambles: A blogging crisis

So after 9 months of blogging, I have finally reached 100 posts, of which this is the one hundredth and this really crazy when I think about it because that so many posts. I started this, not even knowing where it would go and now we are here. It is quite mind blowing.

The thing about this is I don't actually know if I like a lot of stuff on my blog. I mean sure right now what my favourite song is on a Thursday or the top 5 books that I was spoiled for are fun but are they actually the stuff that when I look back in five years time and go, "Wow I'm am making some good content." Short answer no. I feel like memes - e.g. Top Ten Tuesday or Top 5 Wednesday- are good for so long, they are great for you to build and grow your blog but they are not the best content in the world. I am not criticising anyone who does memes because let's face it I do them. I do them because they are quick and easy and they can be done in like 20 minutes and for a Uni student, they are great but are they really what I want to create? Not really...

At the beginning of the year, I said to myself that I want to give myself more freedom to create what I wanted but I guess this has not happened. At all in fact. OK, so I lie because my A-Z of YA Mental Health books is something that I have wanted to do for a long time and am so proud of but for a lot of my content not really.

I guess what I am trying to say is that I want to make content that I care about and I like writing and even if this means that I don't post as often as before then that is OK because as long as I am creating stuff that I care is all that matters.

I think that if there are still topics that I care about then I will still do the memes but this may not be every week.

I hope you continue with me on this blogging journey with me.

See you soon,

Amy

PS I am still going to be talking about books! You don't have to worry about that.

Book Review: The Great Godden by Meg Rossoff

* I am reviewing this book which I was gifted for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

In a holiday house by the sea, our watchful narrator sees everything, including many things they shouldn’t, as their brother and sisters, parents and older cousins fill hot days with wine and games and planning a wedding.

Reviewing All Of The Books

Earlier this year, I decided that I would review all of the books that I read. For the most part, I definitely have but over the last couple of months it has definitely gone to the wayside but that is because I have been so busy. I wanted to do it because I annoyed myself that I reviewed books years after I read them and I often couldn't remember the plot. Trust me this is still the case, but I have kind of run out of books that I need to review this year which is weird for me. My backlog is getting lower and as I am not reading as much, I genuinely think I might run out. This has never happened before. This is of course quite nice because I think that it creates feelings that are much better than remembering a book from two years ago. Thinking about it at the moment does definitely make it easier as it goes into my head on a computer screen and less memory space is always a good idea. I also do think that sometimes it does take the fun out of it though but there are a lot of benef...

Book Review: A Semi Definitive List of Worst Nightmares by Krystal Sutherland

The Solars are consumed by their fears and, according to the legend of the curse, destined to die from them. Esther doesn't know what her great fear is yet (nor does she want to), a feat achieved by avoiding pretty much everything. Elevators, small spaces, and crowds are all off-limits. So are haircuts, spiders, dolls, mirrors and three dozen oth...
