About the Blog

Hello friends, bookworms, and movie buffs. Welcome to my book and movie review blog. In early 2020, I started a casual blog to explore a longtime passion of mine: writing. I love books and movies, making them the natural topic for my blog and I’m lucky to have grown a small audience of readers.

As a brief outline for anyone new to Lit and Flicks, I review books and movies spanning many genres. I post a 1-5 star scale rating, including half stars, as well as a written review for each novel or film. Then I delve into an analysis and opinion. I also feature photos, brackets, and even an advice column related to books and movies. Happy reading and watching!
