Welcome to Starry's Books book blog

Hi, I'm Ioana Visan, a science fiction and fantasy writer. You can find out more about me and my works on my website and my writer blog.

Starry's Books is my reader blog. I intend to showcase here books I read, but I'm also willing to spotlight indie writers. Many of them have been a great help to me so I'm returning the favor. This isn't a book review blog. It's just a place where you might get some ideas of what to read next.

I'll be going through my books and reading list for a while, but feel free to send in requests.
