I'm Simone and I like books. I'm a full time blogger living in Los Angeles, CA. I'm also a book reviewer for Publishers Weekly. A friend of mine once told me that you can't finish a book until you've written about it. This is where I have my bookish thoughts. You'll find book reviews, recommendations, fun bookish accessories, and thoughts triggered by what I read and see.
