Hi Everyone!
My name is Gabby and welcome to my Book Blog.
From a young age, I loved books and reading. I also always kept a reading journal in which I wrote all the thoughts and opinions on all the books that I have read over the years. However, through my degrees and time at university, I fell out of love with reading as most of my reading was related to my degree. The Covid-19 pandemic and all of the lockdowns allowed me to get into reading and back to loving books again...Also, lockdowns made me realise that I want to brave myself and share my reading and favourite books with wider audiences. Thus, I have created this blog so that I can share my thoughts and opinions about the books I have read with other fellow bookworms...Those who want to get into reading and those who just want to find a great next read.
I mainly read books in English and Lithuanian, so in this blog, I will review books that I read in both of these languages. I will also share some book challenges, bookish news and other interesting posts about books. I also want to connect with fellow book lovers, share my opinions and recommendations, discover new books to read and discuss books with others. I do truly hope that in this blog there will be something for everyone.
My go-to genres are:
Non-Fiction:
- Biographies /Autobiographies/Memoirs
- Travel
- History
- Environment / Humanities / Politics
- Academic Literature
- Science & Technology
Fiction:
- Classics
- Romance
- Historical Fiction
- Thriller
- Comtemporary Fiction
- YA
Although, I am always open to exploring other genres too!
Book Review Policy
I am happy to review hard copy (paperbacks/hardbacks) ARCs/Proof copies on this blog and I would love to join in with book tours & readalongs. I am sadly not reviewing eARCs other than those from NetGalley at the moment.
Please note that all my reviews are my honest opinion about the book. I always give honest and balanced reviews with both, positives/negatives and I will always highlight what I liked/disliked about the book, and give the book a rating (my book rating system can also be found below).
I post all reviews on this blog and share them on my BookTwitter and Bookstagram (and Goodreads if requested).
All enquiries, questions and review requests, please sent them to bookish.gabby@gmail.com
Once I receive a request I will let the sender know if I am accepting or declining the review request and discuss how long it will take to read and publish the review. My current estimate on how long I will take to read and review books on my blog is about 6 weeks (Again, this can be discussed on case to case basis).
Feel free to connect with me on my Twitter - @Bookish_Gabby and Instagram - @bookish_gabby
Looking forward to sharing my book reviews and book ramblings with everyone!
