Reads

Made with Neocities and Phoenix Code

a woman with red hair and a yellow dress sits in a chair in front of full bookshelves. She has an open book
															   on her lap, books on the floor, and is pulling out a paper from between books
"The Library" by Elizabeth Shippen Green.

Books and essays that I've either read or skimmed that I want to keep a list of. The fiction section contains my particular favorites of that genre.

I use The Storygraph to track my reading as well as books I own and my to-read list. I add things to my TBR from Storygraph's recs, friends' recs, and lately from subreddits like r/HistoricalRomance. I also recently learned about the site A Book Like Foo, a book recommendation engine.
