New Year, New Blog

Though it's been a while for this blog, I still have quite a few followers. For those that are still actively following my feed, I wanted to give a little update as to my new blog/ where you can read new reviews from me:

Goodreads: Where I'm still the most active. I'm open to new friends/ review followers and regularly update what I'm currently reading or want to read. This is the best place to get in touch and know what books I'm talking about!

Tumblr: Also regular updates, though not as much as Goodreads. I'm more likely to reblog pictures and book lists, but I'm on fairly regularly.

Twitter: Auto-posts my ratings and reviews from Goodreads. I'm not currently on as a regular user, but if you don't check Goodreads regularly this is the best way to follow my thoughts.

I intend to keep this blog domain for a while longer as an archive for my older reviews. Thanks for following all this time!

The End of Google Reader

Unfortunately, as of July 1st Google Reader will be no more. I've been a fan of the service for years so it really upsets me to have to look elsewhere, but alas things must go on.

Thankfully, my search wasn't long. Feedly let me transfer over almost all of my blogs to their services. The only ones that won't be making it are the ones that I registered for through the Google Reader app. This isn't a major problem for me, as I already separated out the book blogs that I read frequently and put them in a new category that successfully made it to feedly.

This switch-over has also been very cleansing for me. I was following a lot of blogs that weren't posting anything anymore and many that were reviewing books that I wasn't interested in reading. It's nice that I'm kind of being forced to put my priorities in order and look again at what sorts of blogs I want to be reading and what sorts of content that I want to be reading.

I hope that everyone who is being displaced by Google finds the system that works for them!
