Welcome!

It feels surreal to be writing this post. Ten years ago, I wrote a post similar to this when I began my first ever blog. At the time I was only fourteen years old, lonely and a lover of books. Even though some things have changed (I’m not fourteen or as lonely) but others have not (I’m still in the same bedroom as when I was fourteen and I still love books).

I have been blogging since 2009 across several blogs. While I’ve had a personal blog for a few years where I shared my thoughts on the books I read, I didn’t have a specific place for that. So, today, I’m going to change that. My first blog, called Life According to a Bibliophile (formally Reading the Best of the Best), still exists but I’ve made it private. I haven’t found the courage to delete it off the internet yet.

If there is one major difference between my first blog about books to this one is how my reading tastes have changed. For one, I only read Young Adult books for a very long time. It wasn’t until I went to college where I made the move to adult books simply because I didn’t think I should be reading them. For the past few years, however, I’ve changed to pretty much only reading adult books (especially adult romance).

And that’s what the majority of this blog will be focused on: adult books in various genres. I’m trying to branch out and read more genres that I normally don’t:

• Thrillers
• Urban fantasy and paranormal
• Fantasy of all kinds
• Science fiction
• True crime
• Mysteries

Of all of these genres, thrillers are the ones I’m most worried about because I really don’t like anything that could scare me. And when I tell y’all that I’m scared easily, it’s not a joke. But either way, I’m very excited to see all the new books I’ll find.

I do still read Young Adult and I will write about some of these titles on this blog but those will probably be few and far between.

This long-winded introduction post is just a taste of what’s to come. Even though I also have a YouTube channel, I find that writing has always been my preferred way to share my thoughts. I hope that you’ll join me on this new (and old) adventure.
