Welcome to my little corner :)
If you come across this, you probably already know a little about me but I'd figure I'd go ahead and do a quick little introduction for you all.
My name is Joana and I'm just another reader out here in the universe trying to navigate life. I love to read! I consider myself a multi-genre reader to the max! I love fantasy, romance, science fiction, contemporary, etc. I love trying out new genres and challenging myself to reading new things. For a lot of people, they see reading as means for enjoyment but I see reading as means of research. I like to critique the books that I read, respectfully of course, and provide in-depth reviews while trying to stay as spoiler free as possible. I'm not the fastest reader, I don't care too much about metrics.
My priority is to just read, write reviews, and put it out there.
Some nonbookish facts about me... well, I love trying new foods. If you have any recommendations, let me know. :)

What Is This Place?
Consider this space my personal digital journal. My main goal here is pretty simple:
- Book Reviews & Recommendations: Unfiltered and honest breakdowns of what I’m reading in addition to book recommendations. I realize that there are several people out there that have different tastes, so a book that might not have worked for me might be the perfect pick for you and I don't shy away from still recommending them.
My reviews are split into two categories: Book Reviews and ARCs. If you don't know what ARCs are, they are Advanced Reader Copies. It's an early, near-final version of a book given to reviewers, librarians, booksellers, and influencers before the official release date. I receive both physical ARCs (actual books) but I also read a lot of eARCs (sent to my Kindle). Should you ever have any questions on how yourself can get into it, let me know and I'm happy to help. - Monthly Wrap-Up Newsletters: A recap delivered straight to you once a month so you never miss a beat on what was read sprinkled with some other miscellaneous things that I might find interesting to share.
