Why I am here

I wanted to give a bit about me and why I am here. I started reading in February and fell in love with dark romance. My first book was Verity by Colleen Hoover and I loved it. I am constantly on social media looking for books to add to my TBR. So I thought I would join in to help others with my real thought on books. I also hate trying to do good reads, so this is my book diary. I am not and do not want to be a “influencer”. I want to be real, share my love for books, and join the book community ❤️

2024/11/20 Edited to

As a book enthusiast, I thrive on exploring genres that tug at the heart and challenge perceptions, particularly dark romance, fantasy, and stories with intriguing tropes like 'stalker' and 'mafia.' My goal is to create an authentic space where readers can share thoughts freely, rather than just focusing on the conventional social media influencer path. Books like 'Verity' have captivated my imagination, and I excitedly seek more recommendations to expand my reading list. I believe that every book tells a story not just within its pages, but also within the community of readers it reaches. Therefore, I look forward to enhancing my TBR and discovering hidden gems in dark romance. If you have any suggestions or favorites, let's share them and foster a community dedicated to celebrating our literary passions. Together, we can create a vibrant space for book discussions, recommendations, and authentic connections!
