Welcome,

Thank you for stopping by to check out my takes on the books I read! If you’d like to read my newest reviews, head straight to the book reviews page. If you’d prefer to read reviews by genre, or if you’d like to read about the books I consider Must Reads, you can do so by selecting a category.

This blog started as a way for me to be more conscious of what books I choose to read, intentionally diversify my bookshelf, and encourage my friends to do the same. You will find that I am specifically committed to reading women, queer, and BIPOC authors. I do my best to support authors by reading recently published books, or—at the very least—books written by living authors, but I do occasionally turn to older classics (I’m looking at you, Ursula K. Le Guin and Octavia Butler!). My most-read genres are literary fiction, historical fiction, and SFF. If any of that sounds good to you, maybe I can help you find a book you’ll love. ❤
