Hello readers!
Since I started this blog back in September I have been a reading fiend! I’ve really enjoyed getting to post my reviews and interacting with those of you who have commented! It’s been a great start and I can’t wait to keep it up through 2020. You can expect consistent reviews, both spoiler free and spoiler full, as well as book lists, book memes, and the occasional commentary article.
It’s so strange to see how this blog has grown in such a short period of time. My early reviews are already so different than the most recent ones! I promise to keep improving the quality of my reviews in order to bring you the best content I possibly can!
For even more content please follow this blog through wordpress or by entering your email, follow my instagram @amanjareads, my pinterest @amanjareadstoomuch, and my goodreads @amanja. Authors, publishers, or just those of you who are interested can contact me at amanjareads@gmail.com.
Enough of that! It’s the end of the year and here are the 5/5 books I’ve read since starting this blog. Click the links to read the full reviews or to buy these wonderful books that I can’t stop recommending!
