About The Blog & Me

The Roots

I believe you must bring your whole self to the table if you want to thrive in today’s crazy world; your personality, your sense of humour, and most importantly, your heart.

All of these elements brought me to start SecretWorldOfaBook.

I've always been a huge lover of reading, ever since childhood and its that passion of wanting to share the written word and the stories that I read with like minded bookworms, so I launched this project on Instagram back in 2019 which has just been thriving and has quickly gained a loyal following, I have met so many lovely people since joining the Bookstagram community which has led me to begin this blogging journey.

So If you love reading reviews with minimal to no spoilers then browse my site, read my reviews, and explore what excites and interests me and hopefully, you as well.
