Reviews and Comments
New to BookWyrm. Still very new to all this de-centralised, federation thing. Learning in small bites.
Picking up books again and remembering again why I have always loved books, and how I could let it fade away from my life in the first place.
I enjoy fantasy, crime, thriller, but open to giving all genres a try.
Melbourne-based.
