Welcome to “ThisIsMyTruthNow” where I’ve created a portal to all the things worth talking about during the course of a day.

• Book Reviews
  • A collection of ~950 book reviews (as of November 2019) from every major book genre. I choose books based on a variety of tastes. I will occasionally accept a request to review a book, but my reading queue is usually booked ~3 months in advance on when I will be available.
