30 things I learned in 6 months of blogging

1. Planning out content is the way to go. 
2. When the idea is already there wiriting does not seem as daunting.
3. Pictures are a must. But sometimes you have to go without.
4. Missing one upload does not mean the whole blog is doomed without redemption.
5. It helps to have some type of ongoing series on the blog. That way if you don't know what to do, you can work with an already familiar concept.
6. It helps to have a content guideline (eg. I have a blog about books!) but shaking things up does not hurt.

A 6 month recap: A bit of Palaver

On the 27th of March 2017 I decided to properly re-start my blog. I have had this platform since 2015, and another one before that. But I never took it seriously enough to post regularly. 

By March this year, I was knee deep in the booktube/bookstagram community- eventhough I enjoyed consuming the content other people crated, I was left unsatisfied with my contribution to the community. 

Whats on my bookshelf

This week I'm taking you on a visual tour through my bookshelf!
There wont be any reviews here today, just a few pictures of some pretty covers. Hope  you enjoy.

-V.E. Schwab: A darker Shade of Magic

Ever since I read the A darker Shades of Magic series, I wanted to cosplay Lila, Kell and pretty much everyone else. I fell in love with the world, the characters and the way Schwab describes them to us. Unfortunately I am a bit short on money and time at the moment. So a full on cosplay is postponed. 

But luckily, last week I found this wonderful scarf in a charity-shop in my neighborhood. One side is red, the other grey. It inspired me to create two outfits (and makeup-looks) that would fit into the world of A darker shade of magic! 

August Wrap-Up

Summer is in its last breaths, Autumn is approaching fast.
Uni has't started yet. I was spending my Summer Break on my aunts farm without an Internet connection. Because of that, I had a lot of time to read. In total I read eight books this month, so we have got a lot to get through. Lets get started!
