About Deven Reads
Growing up, I always had a book in my hands. When I became an adult, I quit reading to focus on adulting. I've listened to/read books here and there throughout the years, but not with any consistency. At the beginning of 2022, I started to pick up reading, devouring book, after book. In April, I discovered booktok, and have since accumulated a bottomless TBR. I joined NetGalley shortly after, and have been reading and reviewing ARCs ever since. I want to spread the word about the awesome reads I'm finding, beyond NetGalley, so, here I am, making a book blog.
