United States

After a lot of soul searching, on what is, I'm very aware, a small point of friction in the general clusterfuck that is the world these days, there are some countries whose books I am not comfortable acknowledging. I'm sorry for the individual authors whose work I cannot now support, but in whatever ways I have available to me, I have to do what feels right. So, anything that has been reviewed from failed, failing, misogynistic or warmongering states will remain on the site for the time being, but anything in the To Be Read piles will be unpublished and it's highly likely remain unread for the foreseeable.
