Basically on the appearance.

Ok, just the appearance! I love the template that you have, it looks like you were taking notes on all of the books that you have been posting about. And the idea of the blog is brilliant! I couldn't stop reading the posts!

I only have two things that, personally, I don't care for. The black background. Everything else is so light and airy that the black background brings the feeling of it down. Perhaps a color to match those little tag things at the top? A yellow, orange or blue? (Also, that owl is ADORABLE!) The other thing is the font. I guess it's not the actual font, but more of the size of the font. I think that something a little bigger would be better to read. I had to increase the size of my screen to easily read the blog.

I hope that this is what you wanted and that it helps. Great blog!

Looks good. The black background doesn't bother me and I am old with old eyes, but the font is small. I have a laptop with a huge screen and can read it fine, but can see where that might be a problem with smaller screens.

I like it. However the font of the posts is too small. So I would have to start playing with the zoom in order to read comfortably. Btw, I have good eyes for up close work. It's the farwaway stuff I can't see. Hope that helps.

I'm not a fan of the template you have to be honest, it seems a bit childish. I just looked further and I can see that you're about 14 years old? In that case I think you have a suitable blog that would appeal to a younger audience. One thing that grinds on me when I read a blog is spelling mistakes, which I think you should review and fix. Another thing is that you have many titles and sentences ending with exclamation marks, which I think could be toned down a bit.

Overall though I found you had interesting posts and your blog is definitely followable

Keep up the good work!
