Hello! You can call me Candle. I’m a graduate student by day and a book reviewer and blogger by night. My favorite genres are LGBTQ+, fantasy, science fiction, and romance. I’ve been an avid reader since I was a child (thanks hyperlexia), and I hope to spread my love of reading to as many people as possible! My goal is to help combat the rising literacy crisis by helping people find books they will love.

For Readers

In a reading slump? Want to branch out? Browse through reviews to find your new favorite book! Maybe even leave your own thoughts or recommendations for others to find!

For Writers/Publishers

Since I love helping other readers find new books they will love, I am always looking for new books to request ARCs for! I am on NetGalley and publish reviews to my blog, Goodreads, and StoryGraph. I also post updates on TikTok, BlueSky, and Instagram. Find me @candleoversunday on all three platforms or email me at candleoversunday@gmail.com

For Educators/Parents
