ABOUT ME

I’m a graduate student in biology, voracious reader, and semi-recovering used book sale addict. I’m a pretty eclectic reader – mostly fantasy, young adult fiction, historical fiction, and general fiction, with an increasing smattering of non-fiction, but I’m willing to give most genres a try.

ABOUT THIS BLOG

This blog allows me to keep all of my book reviews and other reading-related information in one place. Since the beginning of 2006, I have reviewed every new book I’ve read (plus a few that I’ve re-read). I’m slowly transferring old reviews over here, but you can view them all at LibraryThing.

YOU DO REALIZE YOU MISSPELLED “FIREFLY”, RIGHT?

I actually am usually a fairly competent speller, but I’ve been using various permutations of “fyrefly” as an online handle ever since I was a teenager, when I decided that it would be cool and rebellious to spell “fire” with a Y. The fact that I thought this counted as cool and rebellious should give you some indication of what I was like as a teenager.

MY TBR PILE

I’m attempting to only read the books I already own, or at least clear more from my TBR pile than I add to it. For the curious, you can see my TBR pile here or at LibraryThing.

PUBLISHERS AND AUTHORS

I’m always happy to consider review requests! If you have a book you’d like me to read and review, please let me know… although please check out my full review policy first.
