Bookhive is a blog about literary culture, readership, and books. Although I’m technically a librarian, my writing will be focused on my personal connections to literature, especially in weekly posts reflecting my current reads.

My writing will be focused on my personal connections to literature.

The creation of the blog was largely inspired by #ReadWomen2014, and much of the content will reflect that, including a weekly recommendation of female authors from the world of literary fiction, as well as regular posts on my favorite female-oriented non-fiction. I’m more interested in writing about contemporary literature, but you can also expect the occasional post on “the classics” as well as a regular round-up of my favorite think-pieces, interviews, and blog posts on literary fiction from around the web.

Although reading itself is a very solitary activity, my enjoyment of literature has always been enhanced by lively discussion with others about the books I love and hate, so I encourage you to please share your own literary viewpoints, recommendations, and experiences in the comments section.
