About Me. Hello! My name is Kelly Aker. I am a bibliophile, an avid baker, and a big fan of my dogs. I currently live in the Shenandoah Valley area of Virginia, but I have previously lived in London, UK and West Virginia. I read, on average, about 125 books a year. Most of those are fantasy and science fiction, but I also love contemporary romance books, thrillers, and graphic novels. I’ll read anything from Middle Grade to Adult and am always looking for recommendations. This site is mostly to document the books I’ve been reading, providing my thoughts on them, and writing about books I’m looking forward to picking up soon. I hope you enjoy!
