An Introduction to Booksmores Lounge
Hello, I have no idea what I'm doing. Bear with me, please!
Beginnings are hard.
Substack’s words for introducing me into this new world are true. I’m not a fan of starting things, I’d rather just get into the meat of it as soon as possible. Why? Because beginnings are awkward, slow and, excuse the repetition, hard.
So forget an intro to the intro, I’ll keep this short.
I’m here specifically because I love expressing myself through writing. I’m passionate about reading and over the years I’ve been afraid to write my thoughts on books. Be it reviews, recommendations (or asking for those), sharing my own writing and whatever else pops into my head book-related.
I’m looking to share my thoughts with people that have a similar interest. Mostly fantasy/literary fiction/crime-fiction books. Even romance once in a while. Non-fiction books not so much, 2-3 at most per year.
If you want a better picture of what kind of books I’m into, you can check out my Goodreads page and Instagram one.
I don’t have a particular plan on how to do this Substack blog. However, I do have a small bit figured out as a way to start out. Whenever I finish reading a book, I’m going to post something about it. Until I see what works for me or doesn’t, my posts will be once per week or once every two weeks. If you want to tag along with me, I’d be delighted.
I’m not going to add a paid version as of yet - I’m here out of pure enjoyment. I’ll see how my Substack evolves and what my ideas are. In the foreseeable future, though, everyone and all are invited to freely explore my blog.
Thank you for taking the time to read this far. If this wasn’t enough to convince you to stick around, that’s alright. Maybe one day you’ll stumble on my blog and it will draw your attention anew.
