Welcome to the Books & Caffeine bookish blog
Here you'll find more in-depth book reviews, mostly of young adult, fantasy, and contemporary romance books.
These are all my personal opinions, but hopefully it'll help you decide if a book is worth picking up or not. Or if you've read them already, then you can check if we're on the same page about the book or not.
At the bottom of the page, you'll also find thumbnails leading to my Goodreads reviews. Sometimes that's just quicker than writing a full blog post but they're honest reviews nonetheless.
If you'd like to talk about any of these books or have recommendations you think I might enjoy, message me on my Threads or Instagram: @dorkakardos_
