About Me

I always hate writing ‘about me’ or intro posts. They’re so awkward but I guess that they are somewhat necessary!

I’m Amy, a book blogger from the UK. I’ve been running a book blog for seven years (as of January 2022) and I also have a PhD in English Literature. I mainly focus on classic literature but I am trying to branch out into contemporary literature. I’m always looking for recommendations, both classics and contemporary, so feel free to tell me your favourite book!

Please note: I am not accepting review requests at the moment because of my workload. I’ll review my circumstances in July 2022 but until then I will not reply to unsolicited emails or messages.

If you like the work I do on this blog, please consider supporting me on Ko-fi! You can also find me on twitter and instagram but I tend to forget that my accounts exist.

    1. I usually read during my commute to and from university so that’s a guaranteed two hours of reading per day. All of that has obviously changed right now and I’m reading less than I used to but I just try to carve out some time in my day to dedicate to reading. Also, I don’t force myself to read a book I’m not enjoying because that just takes all of the joy out of reading. I don’t really have any other tips. Sorry!
