Dogbane Beetle

Welcome to my bookshelf! Here, I keep track of all the books I'm reading and have read. Technically, I already do this on my Storygraph, but I wanted to share my reads on here directly. I'm still using Storygraph to source all my info for each book, though!

If you click on a book I've read, it'll take you to my review of it, and if you click on books I'm reading or want to read, it'll take you to the basic Storygraph info page for that book! Feel free to check out my Bookbug page, too! I hope you enjoy my little library.
