Marines' Default

The morning after the election, as I was processing my feelings in real-time, I dropped this little prediction in my Discord:

an office refresh turns into an unhaul, a TBR and a book review

Sometimes you just want to rearrange your room, okay?

Marines

Reading has never been something I’ve been interested in doing wholly alone. The joy of reading is magnified when it’s experienced in the company of fellow book lovers. I’m Marines, a reader, reviewer, content creator, event organizer, editor, and champion of a well-told story. Here on this page, I’d love to be your companion as we navigate the tides of literature, create a community connected by a love of books, and work together to bring fresh stories to life.

Mari - booktok + media reviews

my name is marines, my home is the internet, my default setting is snarkiness, my true love is reading, my feelings are many.
