Hi there. Let’s talk books!
I’m a lifelong bookworm and a freelance reviewer for Shelf Awareness. I read a lot, I read widely (and deeply), and I love talking about what I read. My favorite genres are mystery, young adult, food and travel writing, well-written fiction with heart, compelling nonfiction, memoir, poetry and essays.
I post semi-monthly reading roundups on the blog, which are linked below as they appear. You can also find me on Goodreads.
