I have a real love for Crime Fiction and thrillers as I love a little (fictional) human suffering from time to time, but don’t mind the occasional bit of Chick Lit, Young Adult or romance – I’m not completely heartless and consider myself an equal opportunity reader.

Welcome to Always With a Book! As the name implies, I always have a book with me wherever I go. Like any avid book blogger and book fanatic, I enjoy getting books to review. This is something I never even realized was a part of book blogging until a few months after I started my blog.

I emphasize nonfiction and especially love to feature nature and environmental writing, gardening, and books about social justice, sustainability, and our future. I write about books that can save lives on a personal level and collectively.

My name is Lili and I am a scholar at heart, obsessed with SFF and always carrying a book wherever I go. I did my Masters and BA in Women’s Studies and English Literature. I am obsessed with diversity and use USOM to champion books I feel deserve more praise and attention (including smaller presses and indie authors).

AFRICAN BOOK ADDICT! was created mid-2014 and it’s dedicated to celebrating BLACK literature through book reviews, book chats with fellow readers & writers, book hauls and more. To me, BLACK literature represents books by writers who identify as African, African-American, Caribbean, Black Brit, Afropean, Afro-Asian, Afro-Latinx – the list goes on!

Hi! My book review blog is dedicated primarily to fantasy and sci-fi books. I also feature promo’s, excerpts, and interviews. I primarily read books geared towards audiences at the middle-grade and young adult levels. I also occasionally read contemporary romance books. While these are the genres I tend to drift to, I’m open to giving most books a chance.
