Welcome to The Bibliophile! I’ve been an avid reader since….well, since I learned to read in the first place.

Growing up in the age of Harry Potter has certainly left its mark on me. The idea of a secret, magical world lurking right alongside our own captured my imagination and never let it go. (And, incidentally, led to my pursuing a career in the STEM fields, but that’s a story for another day.)

So, what kinds of books can you expect to see on this blog? While I like to read a variety of genres, urban fantasy will make up the bulk of books I review. I also enjoy some fantasy, historical fiction, and nonfiction books. While I don’t do it on purpose, I tend to read a lot of female authors, so if you’re on a look out for new books by women, this blog is definitely the place for you.

“What the heck is urban fantasy?”, you might ask. Turns out Harry Potter is a great example. We’re talking some element of fantasy, but present here on earth. So Harry Potter counts as urban fantasy as opposed to pure fantasy like Game of Thrones because yes, it’s about wizards, but it also takes place in the UK.

Have a book you’d like me to review? Feel free to drop me a message in the contact form! I’m always on the lookout for new reading material.
