I’ve always been a reader which is a ridiculously obvious statement, because authors are always readers first. But since forever I have loved talking about, analysing, digging into, embracing novels that I’ve enjoyed reading. Sometimes all that thinking poured out of me in the form of round-table discussions at Uni, or even before that at high school in the form of very one-sided conversations with anyone who stood still long enough. But when I became a proper real actual author, I wanted to share my passion for the works I’d read, but I didn’t want to write a whole essay about them. I also didn’t want to write something so small that it couldn’t express all my thoughts. So these responses weren’t going to be essays; they weren’t going to be comments. They would be a thing halfway between the two. Therefore, essay-thingies. 
Sometimes I have opinions that are not book-related. They're simply opinions. Those essays are in the black boxes to the side.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy my books, my blog, my blathering.
