Starting the Year Right: The Christmas TBR Pile and Other Reading Resolutions

For as long as I can remember, my family has had three Christmas traditions: a standing rib roast and Yorkshire puddings for Christmas dinner, not-so-sneakily buying each other gifts we would immediately ‘borrow’, and visiting the local bookshop the day after Christmas.

About Me

Welcome to my corner of the bookish internet. I’m an American who has lived in the UK for almost 10 years, a publishing professional, and lifelong lover of books. I make it my mission to shout about books all over the internet and share my enthusiasm with other readers. I read a little bit of everything, but my main genres of choice are horror, fantasy, and science fiction.

I aim to start conversations about books and reading, link readers to new authors and titles they’ll love, provide insightful review the books I’m reading, and discover new writers and subgenres on this blog.
