Hello! Come in, take your shoes off, make yourself at home, use my toothbrush, etc. This is my book blog, a space where I post reviews for the books I read. I started writing these at the beginning of 2021, because I like my thoughts organized and I have an aggrandized view of my own opinions. It began as a purely personal project, just a list of reviews on a Google doc that I shared with pretty much no one. In fact, I assumed I'd give up on it after 2 or 3 write-ups, and "reviewing books" would be just another in a long line of hobbies that I'd tried and left behind. At the same time, I set myself a goal to read one more new book than I had in 2020, bringing my goal up to a whopping eight books. Cut to December, and I'm now 17 books and 16 reviews deep, with no plans to stop. That kind of change felt significant personally, but it's also left me with a whole heaping helping of written reviews that are collecting digital dust on my laptop. So, of course, what have I decided to do? Share (by force) my very important and ultimately correct opinions about things with everyone I can reach! And that's where we've arrived.
Each review comes with a rating out of 10, which I hope in time will come to be considered the definitive quality judgement on the planet for every book ever. A gentle reminder that this blog is composed of my opinions, and while I believe them to be categorically true, I try not to present them as fact. You may feel differently than I do, and that's fantastic (if wrong). I like discussion far more than I like speaking in a vaccuum, so if you feel oh so very strongly either in support of or in conflict with something I've written, or you just want to gush over a book you particularly liked, feel free to (respectfully and with great reverence) reach out! I'd love to hear from all 8 billion of you.
Happy Reading!
