About Me

I am the Cookie Monster of books. Reading is my special interest, my tonic, and my dopamine hit.

Writing reviews helps my neurodivergent brain better engage with what I read. This space exists as a home for some of these reviews and the drawings I make for them.

I'm a sucker for

• the found family trope
• books that explore the question, "what does it mean to be human?"
• books with robots and AI
• cosmic horror
• sci-fi
• weird lit
