Hi there.

I’m Deedi.

I’m a book blogger and Instagrammer who reads all sorts of books, but especially hard-hitting literary fiction, fun fantasy & sci-fi, and interesting nonfiction. You'll never find me without a book, even when I'm on the treadmill (easier than it sounds, I promise!).

I love talking about books and the bookish life in general, and nothing makes me happier than matching someone up with the perfect recommendation. The review blog on this site is filled with 8+ years’ worth of spoiler-free book reviews.

I also run a monthly book club dedicated to the Booker Prize — more on that below — and you’ll hear me talk about how awesome indie bookstores are all the time.

Let’s be friends.

My Friends (ty for the copy @randomhouse!) had been on my TBR for months, so I was especially excited when it was nominated for both the Booker Prize and the @nationalbookfoundation Award. I had a ton of friends who had loved it, so it was no surpris
A little reading update as I sit here and soak up the gorgeous, bright gold leaves outside my window. 😌 Today is my last day of parental leave, and I’m closing it out by marathoning The Safekeep before I go to my weekly ballet class this even
