Hi! I’m Ashley Holstrom, a professional book person who likes to yap about good books and mental health whenever she can.
Crooked Reads is a monthly collection of three bite-sized book reviews, fitting to a theme. My goal is to give you two things: the basic plot and how the book will make you feel—no verbose blurb words here.
It’ll show up in your inbox on the third Sunday of every month.
The name comes from my wannabe intellectual English major days, when I started a blog and called it Crooked Prose. Because I have scoliosis. And my spine is crooked. Get it? The name stuck and is my brand, now, I guess.
