Reading has never been something I’ve been interested in doing wholly alone. The joy of reading is magnified when it’s experienced in the company of fellow book lovers. I’m Marines, a reader, reviewer, content creator, event organizer, editor, and champion of a well-told story. Here on this page, I’d love to be your companion as we navigate the tides of literature, create a community connected by a love of books, and work together to bring fresh stories to life.
