Hello, book nerds! Just so you know, this blog is on hiatus as I’m writing my first book. If you want to stay up to date on that progress, you can sign up to my Substack here.

My name is Ashley, I’m a human living in Texas, and I’m a bookworm (insert “Hi, Ashley”). But you knew that already.

Here’s a picture of me, to prove my humanness:

I’ve been a reader since tiny humanhood, but I started my book review journey in 2021 on Instagram. By the end of 2022, I knew I wanted a permanent home for my thoughts and opinions, so January 1, 2023 I created this blog.

Here you’ll find reviews for a wide variety of fiction, and occasionally advance reviews for books coming out soon. But, perhaps even more importantly, I post discussion blogs where I discuss writing and bookish topics. Have you ever disliked a book, but couldn’t put a finger on why? I want to help readers hone their preferences. So with each new discussion blog (with approximately a 3-minute read time), I take a quick dive into a different writing or reading topic with the goal of helping you find what you like and don’t like. I want us all to spend more time with books we love, and less time with books we won’t love.
