About Me

Bkwmlee: Hi, I’m Lee! I’m a lifelong bookworm who loves to read books and write about them. I like to read across all genres for the most part, though I try to avoid horror and science fiction, since neither genre is my cup of tea (though I am fine with reading books that have a science fiction element to it, as long as it is not hard core science fiction). Outside of that, I read pretty much anything that sounds interesting to me. I’m a fan of Classics but I also like to read contemporary works too, especially ones that deal with history and culture (both my own as well as others). For non-fiction, I prefer biographies/memoirs, as I find that everyone else’s lives are generally more interesting than my own and I usually end up learning a thing or two from them – but again, I don’t like to limit myself so I’ll read basically anything as long as it sounds interesting (and I have the time to do so).
