About the Author
Hello there! My name is Taryn Kay. I am a bibliophile and artist with a passion for storytelling. I love when I find an author that I feel can spin a tale with skill. I created this site with the goal of sharing the results of my literary treasure hunts and to help connect readers with authors they might not have ever known existed or considered reading otherwise.
Feel free to message me with suggestions for books you think I should review.
About The Site
There are three sections to each post, first there is a short, spoiler-free summary and a section that rates the book on various aspects. It also contains information on reading level and easiest way to acquire the book. The second section contains spoilers though I try to keep them to a minimum. It will explain the ratings and give a bit more information on the book itself. Lastly, will be my personal opinion of the book.
