Welcome!


Well, hi! This is weird.
It's my first blog post and I already have no idea how to start. Great! I will probably look back at this in some time and cringe anyway, no matter how much I try not to make this a tragic first post, so let's just keep going!

Hello, I'm Lei, a (currently) seventeen year old reader who really wants to be a writer someday. My first language is actually spanish, so writing this blog will definitely be a challenge for me, (but your girl is not afraid. Ha.).

Here are some facts about me!
- I have a bookstagram! It's 'dazzlingwriting' (shameless plug, I know, I'm sorry). You probably came here from Instagram anyway, so I don't even know why I'm mentioning this.
- Divergent was the first young adult book I read when I was 13, and it made me start reading! Thank you Roth!
- I've wanted to be a writer since I was like 6 but I never actually write, which doesn't make any sense. Definitely need to change that.
- I've had my little doggo since I was 5 and I love him way too much. He is a West Highland White Terrier, in case you were wondering.
- I'm a slow reader, and it has taken me months sometimes to finish a book, especially if I'm not really enjoying it. This is actually one of the reasons why I'm starting this blog, because I will probably want to write reviews, and I can't do that if I don't read! I know, I'm a genius.

So, as I just mentioned, I would like to post honest reviews about the books I read. I always find some things I don't like in books and that for some reason no one really mentions, so I will make sure to write about them too, apart from the things I did like, of course. When I do have to comment on some aspects I didn't like about a book though, I will always make sure to be the most respectful since I know that writing a book is a lot of work, no matter if someone thinks it is good or bad.
I would also find it very interesting to post discussions, and maybe I could also write about the music I listened to every month, or the movies I watched and give them a rating! So. Many. Possibilities. AHH.

Hope you keep reading!
