Hey, you guys! Today I am coming to your Reader feeds with a rather exciting post – or at least I think it’s exciting, we’ll see what you think! Basically, ever since I’ve come back from my little break and since knowing that Sandra would be leaving the blog, I had been trying to come up with a new URL to give the blog a bit of a revamp going forward. I wanted it to represent myself more. Which is where The Caffeinated Bookworm Life came from!
I absolutely love coffee and I am a bookworm at heart and combining the two just felt absolutely perfect! But things didn’t stop there because I also knew I wanted a brand new look to go with the changed name and so I had been trying out different things for days until it finally hit me! The (in my eyes) perfect design for the blog. You guys are currently all looking at it! What do you think?
This was definitely quite a bit of work and a lot of conversations with Sandra (who continues to cheer me on and is willing to give tips on the design) to get done! But I couldn’t be more excited! I feel like this is finally a theme I’m really proud of and I absolutely love that the blog name is reflected in so many of the design elements!
I think it’s safe to say that I have been staring at this design for days now, trying to fix and tweak little things here and there to get it to where it is right now and I am so glad that I actually decided to take the time on this particular theme to really work on things and give myself the opportunity to change things as I got new ideas. And seeing the first post that is going to go up ‘in the new era’ all edited to include the new theme elements was so much fun too! I might have been really close to publishing everything early just so you guys get to see it too.
But I also want to make sure and give the previous design a little moment because it was the stepping stone in the right direction for me and definitely helped me get to this design.
So yes. Before I continue on rambling for another couple of hundred words, how about we stop here? I just wanted to give you guys a quick update so you know where Reading Through The Nights has gone off to and introduce you guys to The Caffeinated Bookworm Life!
What are some of you guys’ thoughts on the new blog name and theme? Is there anything that isn’t working out quite right on your end? Is there anything I could maybe tweak? Make sure to let me know! I am here for any and all kinds of feedback! 🙂

Ah, this is absolutely gorgeous and wonderful! I can’t even with how pretty it is, and I just LOVE the aesthetics! And the Penscratch 2 theme is SO PRETTY; I wanted to use it as my theme so bad, but it didn’t look good with my blog; the horror! I totally feel you on wanting to publish things early because of the new look; I was so excited with how pretty my blog posts looked and all the ideas I had that I wanted to publish all my posts right away. XD

Ahh! Thank you so much, Mikaela! That’s so very sweet of you to say! Penscratch has to be my favorite theme so far! It’s just really clean looking and that’s 100% my thing!
I have to say, I really love your new design elements you’re using on your blog at the moment! They are a fantastic way of breaking up the text while also introducing a new section! It works great!

I feel like coffee and books just go together so very nicely! If it weren’t for coffee, I probably wouldn’t get through some of my long nights of reading!

Yay, loving the new theme! Also, I am totally on board with this new URL– coffee and books are basically my two life essentials, haha.

Thank you so much, Madalyn! Right??? I mean, what would us bookworms do without either of those things? We’d be so done!
