Reviews and Comments
Avid reader of books both lofty and pedestrian… but mostly somewhere in the middle. Love hearing what others think about what they’re reading and responding in kind. Fave genres include contemporary fiction, mysteries (mostly series), some sci fi, some fantasy, some romance. Also, @PlatinumWarlock@mindly.social
