Hello friends!
Soon, it's going to be the start of a new school year for me, and I want to bring about some changes to this book blog. I like the way it is. Simple, sweet: just reviews and topic posts, the occasional interview and giveaways. However, I feel like I'm not servicing to your interests so I decided to change things, but I want to know how you feel about it.
There are already many giveaways planned for this year, guaranteed, and I know how popular those are, haha. But would you guys like to see more:
P.S. I may be adding some of what you say to a new page I'm making for opinions about my blog. If you want me to post what you say and link to you, do tell me!
