Who Am I?

I've been an avid reader ever since preschool. My reading tastes include a deep love for fantasy, YA, romance, graphic novels, and stories set in Japan. Some of my favorite authors include Christopher Paolini, Garth Nix, HL Burke, Kathryn Reiss, Patricia C. Wrede, Raina Telgemeier, and JRR Tolkien, among others.

My Star Rating System

What Do The Stars Mean?
5 stars means that it's a new favorite! I want to reread it immediately and shout from the rooftops for everyone to read this book!
4 stars means that I really enjoyed it and would recommend it
3 stars means that it was okay, but I probably forgot the entire story as soon as I shut the cover
Two stars means that I was in actual pain while reading
One star means that the book was the worst thing ever and has bad representation for marginalized communities
