Not Your Typical Book Review Blog
On the surface, my blog may seem like your typical book review blog. As you can expect, you’ll see book review posts with occasional commentary posts about the books in between.
The only difference is that my blog is mainly about manga and light novels, with some nonfiction books once in a while.
Does it qualify as a book review blog?
Well, maybe.
If anything, I will say that my blog is more like a book recommendation blog instead. The way it works isn’t that different from a review blog. But what you see instead is a list of books that are worth dipping yourself into.
Feel free to take a look at my Goodreads profile if you’re wondering about other books that didn’t make it to the cut.
Of course, this blog is more than just a book recommendation blog.
You’ll still get to hear my two cents about specific anime, video games, and the anime and manga industry in general on my blog too.
If you’re into this sort of stuff, then you may find my blog enjoyable to read in your spare time.
