Some Books Chris Read

Hi, I'm Chris.

I'm an award-winning RPG writer and musician from Manchester, UK.

This is my blog about books that I've been reading. It only exists because I hate Goodreads and Storygraph (despite maintaining accounts on both of them and linking to them just now) and I wanted somewhere of my own to write about books and track my reading. I've recently started doing some Instagram stuff, too.

I try not to use star ratings in my reviews because I think they're nonsense.

I do lots of other stuff on the internet. It's all here.

Currently Reading: Babel - R.F. Kuang
