About the Blog

This blog aims to bring honest, well-thought-out reviews on books spanning numerous genres. Armed with a degree in Comparative Literature, I seek to provide something more in-depth than a simple recommendation. It is my hope to help the reader uncover something new and present insightful ideas to consider.

Reader be warned, there will be spoilers below the photos!   ​
