Books, Books, Books & MORE Books!

img_0706Since this is a review blog, I thought it’d be best to start out with a catalog of my collection so you all can get a feel for what’s in store. As you scroll through, you’ll likely notice that I’m really into thrillers, which is ironic considering I don’t really watch scary movies too often.

This collection is laid out by genre, then alphabetically. I was going to sort it by “finished,” “being read,” and “TBR,” but I thought it’d be best to sort it as though it’s literally an online catalog. There are a whopping 320 books in my collection as of June 16, 2019, and it only continues to grow.

The unread list is way longer than the finished list because I have a bad book shopping problem.. I just can’t stop So, every now and then, I’ll republish this blog.
