Please review my book blog
I have a book blog which I started December 2009. I review books that I read and also showcase new books and movie adaptations. I would like to have some feedback on improving my blog.
Thank you ..
Nice blog. The one word that leaps out of the screen as I see the blog is 'commitment'. Keep writing.
Few ideas - what can you do to you help the reader locate something? There is the labels widget but it is way down to the left of the screen and anyway it is of little help for searching. Can there be a category search such as Fiction, Travel, Biographies, etc etc.
Also, do you wish to keep it a blog that is totally devoted to room reviews or is it a personal blog with a positive bias towars books? If it is the first, then you can't be having posts like 'Ranting' or 'Movies I am waiting for' or the likes. Nothing wrong with the posts per se, they are nice.
I haven't gone through your blog with a fine tooth comb, but at first sight it appears that you review mostly fiction. How about expanding to other types too? Unless you only read fiction :-)
Wishing you all the best,

Hi Swetha,
Great blog! I am a regular library goer and always on the look out for new authors and works. I am really happy to have come across your blog.
Yet to go through your entire review collection..on first glance I am damn amazed at your speed of blogging. Please do include a more user-friendly way of searching for books, you can probably even include a slideshow widget of blogger to display the covers of books you have reviewed.
Thanks for the great suggestions Pushkaraj and Lakshmi.
It's a book blog but I don't want to make it look like some review magazine. It's my outlet for views on books and related stuff so I plan to maintain the personal touch it has .So I guess rants and movies will be featured :)
Thanks for the suggestion about book genres. I took care of it. I also made a review database and made a button on the top nav bar.
I also arranged reviews according to authors so I guess for now , it's better accessible than before.
Thanks again for your great suggestions!!
Wow....It's an awesome blog that you have here ; very informative and love the personal touch.The rate at which you post is quite incredible too.
Will check out a couple of books from your '5 starred' ones. :)
