Change is upon us.

Hello!

I hope your New Year is going well and that the weather hasn't been getting you down (if your in England).

In light of the New Year, New you mantra that seems to be being batted around I thought that the start of 2014 would be a perfect time to introduce some of the new ideas and changes that I have been thinking about for a couple of months. Hopefully they will be good and have definitely been thought of with blog improvement and audience enjoyment and participation in mind. So fasten your seat belts here the changes come ...

I'm going to start writing my reviews in a less formal way. I have been feeling for a while now that my blog doesn't make me very friendly, and I assure you I'm very friendly! I have also found that I have been feeling obliged to write in that very prescribed fashion, as I thought that I needed to remain consistent, and this has taken away some of my enjoyment and I really do love sharing my thoughts of books and other topics with you.

Secondly and this isn't so much of a change but a notice. I don't know if any of you were or are interested in following this blog on Blogger? Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a follow button on this template and I don't know how to get one without drastically changing my beautiful blog. I am currently trying to get hold of Blogger to see if they can give me one  it for now, if you are interested in following me, contacting me, and staying completely up to date with new blog posts and other blog related things you can follow me on Google+ : https://plus.google.com/app/basic/113392820266902977583/about?cbp=8h6beab2gjk0&sview=27&cid=5&soc-app=115&soc-platform=1 (sorry for the really long link - I don't know why it is so long. ) or you can contact me on thebookshelfreviews@gmail.com and ask for an email announcement. Equally, you can just email me and say hi - that would be nice :)

Any way, that is all I really have to say about the changes to the blog, I hope they work out. Please share with your friends, family and google+ it means a lot and getting the blog out there so to speak and word of mouth (technological or not) is the best way.  I love you all, keep reading! Xxx
