Book reviews
Authors are readers too. Avid readers. And while I read mainly crime fiction, you may occasionally find reviews for non-fiction and more literary works.
We also know what’s involved in writing a book, which means I only post reviews for books I finish. If a book’s not for me, I stop reading and move on.
I hope my reviews will help you discover new authors and novels to enjoy.
