I have set up this website as a place to leave my thoughts on books that I’ve read recently. I am hoping that it will help me to read a bit more critically and to be able to articulate what it is I enjoy and did not enjoy in a book. I also hope to help you find new books that you love :)
A subtle and very human novel about outgrowing your younger self without ever fully being able to escape them.
In early 2025 I co-founded a book club along with some friends. It was during our regular meetings that I started to realise that I had either lost or never developed the ability to read critically. Don’t get me wrong, I can certainly not enjoy reading a particular book, but being able to articulate why is difficult. I find this happens too with non-fiction, that it is easy for me to get swept up in an author’s argument, without picking up on any of its shortcomings.
Let’s see how long it lasts. I don’t plan on reviewing every book, some will be longer reviews, some will be shorter. The goal now is to build a consistent habit on reflecting on what I’ve read.
