My name is Chrysten. I’m a homeschooled high schooler in Southern California, and I am what I like to call a bibliophile–someone who loves books.
My earliest memories are of reading Dr. Suess and Beatrix Potter stories with my older sisters, then slowly, as I grew older, being drawn to books of all sorts.
I don’t really know why I’ve always loved stories so much. Honestly. How am I supposed to explain the thrill I get every time I open a book or step into a library? It’s weird, even to me.
This website was derived from my passion for books (well, also out of a school assignment), and through it I share my thoughts and ideas about literature.
When I say literature, I don’t just mean novels and picture books. I mean writing techniques, theology, history, movies based off a book, anything crafted from words. I also love to sketch out scenes from books, and that’s an example of telling a story through pictures.
Of course I’ll have the book reviews and lists of my favorite reads, but literature goes a little deeper than that.

These posts are all written by me, so it’s probably helpful for you to know a little bit about the author to realize where I’m coming from.
I’m a homeschool kid, which means I’m cool, but kind of nerdy sometimes, so bear with me.
Also, I’m a Christian, which means I believe and put my trust in God. Click here to read my post about how the Bible explains becoming a Christian.
And I’m from a big family, so my sense of humor is slightly sarcastic and kind of weird sometimes. (I apologize in advance for any jokes I make).
Anyways, I hope you enjoy my blog and find it helpful. Happy reading.
