About the BLOG

Wallflower Reading is a book review blog primarily dedicated to fictional literature. I'd like to focus on literature in the realm of issues relative to young adults (which often just means, Young Adult Lit) but I can't promise I won't hold off on the classics or adult novels because they're just that great! In the future, it'll hopefully expand to include related news, blog memes, fan art and more.

All book summaries are  stolen from Goodreads (Thank you!)

About the BLOGGER

This is me, captaining The Dawn Treader! 

My name is Ashley and I'm still a High School slave. I admit that I'm new to this kind of blogging. I've had a personal Livejournal the past five years in my life, but the only person who sees any of those posts is-well, me. But I have been a lover of books my entire life. It all really began when I read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in first grade. I still have the piece of paper scrawled with misspelled words that I wrote on the day I finished that book, expressing my happiness at finally reading "a real book."It all just grew from there. Growing up, I devoured at least a book or two a day. I couldn't get enough of reading.

And while my love for books and for the insight they give me has not left me, it changed as I was promoted to middle school and then onto high school. As homework and projects and school stress piled up, I found myself reading less and less until all I mostly read was what was required in English class. I still read for fun, but not as often as I wished I could. Today, much of that is still the same. But I never stop beating myself over for it, and "Read More Again" always makes it near the top of my New Year's Resolutions. Every single year.

This blog is a personal project in away. It's a way to encourage me to read more again and to rediscover that hunger I once had for reading. I've always been interested in reading, writing, editing, graphics, the publishing world, etc. A blog seems like a fun way to put all of those things together.


Just like this About will change overtime, I'm planning to keep experimenting and take it all in as a learning experience. Here's to an exciting journey ahead! I know that I'll encounter many challenges along the way, mostly revolving around failing to post, but I hope that I'll always remember to keep checking in.
