Non-1001 Book Reviews
Find posts about our non-1001 book reviews here. We do have eclectic tastes but you’ll see that some genres are represented more than others. We’re planning to add guest contributors to post reviews for genres that we read less frequently (non-fiction, science-fiction, etc).
Reviews for books on this page will be focused on books for adults. Some books review cover mature topics not appropriate for children. No spoilers in any reviews unless explicitly stated at the top of the review.
