Hi, I’m Dominique! Your bookish bestie.
I love books! Especially the fantasy, adventure, romance, mystery, and thrills they bring. The best part of my day is coming home, cooking dinner with my kids, and curling up with a good book and a glass of wine. Nothing beats the escapism of diving deep into a story and losing yourself in the pages.
As a lifelong reader, professional book reviewer, and your go-to book blogger for emotional, in-depth takes on every book I read, I created this space to celebrate the kind of books that stay with you long after you finish the last page, and to spotlight the voices that deserve to be heard.
If you’re searching for a book blog with book recommendations, ideas for your TBR list, and unique book reviews, The Diary of a Reader is the perfect place for you. I hope you stay a while and find your next favorite read.
I’m here to give you the books you’ve been dreaming of.
