ABOUT ME

I'm a lifelong reader who loves a good series. There's nothing like book after book of characters that you've grown to know, following their journeys through mishaps, heartbreaks, and celebrations. But I came across a problem. When I get excited about a book or author, I will read everything in real time. By the time the next book comes out, I'd forgotten what happened previously. I used to reread all the previous books before reading the new release, but now I'm a proper adult with bills to pay and a family who expects me to pay attention to them as well. I couldn't be the only person with this problem, so I set out to solve it. I review all the books I read, but any series books I read will also include a small summary of the previous books in the series (see them here). Check out all of our book reviews and their accompanying recipes, inspired by something in the book itself.
