If you're here then I am likely no stranger to you but just in case you have been living under a rock for the past few years, I'm Charlotte Murphy aka Charli and I've put this introductory post together to welcome you to my brand new website (as of 2024).
At the time of writing, I'm 35 years old with a two year old tornado of a toddler named Daenerys. I live in London with her and her dad, a tall, bald and bearded warrior named Zeus and we spend our days, reading books, writing novels, listening to music, watching movies and keeping our little dragon Dae Dae alive!
My bookish likes/tastes vary but I'll read pretty much anything (except non-fiction. No one needs to read non fiction!). My favourite genre of all time is Fantasy but I have been known to dip my toe in the waters of Sci Fi, Crime, Historical Fiction and of course, Romance.
I grew up on Tolkien as well as Danielle Steel but a lot has changed in the publishing industry in the last decade creating the murky waters of Romantasy. I have a love/hate relationship with the genre but it has definitely made its mark along with the even murkier depths of Dark Romance, Monster Smut etc. in which I am deeply invested. More on that another time...
The point is I will read mostly anything given the right incentive or in the best cases, have a cheeky hate read! A bit like angry sex that isn't meant to be that good but...wait...it's probably exactly like that. Almost cathartic!
Alongside my respectfully honest reviews of the books I love (and others I don't), there'll be discussions and debates and art work and anything else that takes my fancy to be honest. Updates on my books can also be found as well as other goodies I can cook up.
If there's something you'd like to know, ask, discuss, rant about, let me know and we'll have some fun with. I hope to engage with so many of you in this new space of mine and look forward to all the reading fun we can get up.
Happy Reading!
