Book Review Blog Focusing on Manga, Light Novels and Nonfiction Books
My book review blog isn’t just for manga and light novels. But I also love to talk about interesting nonfiction books on my blog as well. What’s more, some of these books happen to be the books that I use as a reference for my novels too.
I’d like to think of my blog as a place for people to get recommendations on what manga, light novels, and nonfiction books they should read. So, I tend to write my reviews with the book recommendations in mind. And that means all the books that I feature here are only the books that I enjoy reading and worth recommending.
Curious about the books that I read in the past? You can take a look at my Goodreads profile for other books that I read before.
In a nutshell, my book review blog isn’t just the place for you to discover interesting manga and light novels to read. But it’s also a place for you to discover other books that already slip under the radar. If you’re interested in discovering the lesser-known manga, light novels, and even nonfiction books, you already come to the right place.
