I’m feeling weirdly brave so I’m gonna do a self-promo tweet thread, apropos of NADA.

Hi! I’m Kam, and I’m a Filipino book reviewer who’s been doing her thing since 2012. You can check my work in my blog, Occasionally Random Book Reviews: https://kammartinez.wordpress.com"> https://kammartinez.wordpress.com 

I review mostly adult genre fiction, with a heavy emphasis on fantasy. Here’s a link to my review of T. Kingfisher’s Paladin’s Grace, which I absolutely adored: https://kammartinez.wordpress.com/2020/03/28/review-paladin-s-grace-t-kingfisher/">https://kammartinez.wordpress.com/2020/03/2...

I read nonfiction too, from time to time, with a focus on science, history, and food. Here’s my review of Rice, Noodle, Fish by Matt Goulding, which was immensely helpful in planning a trip I took to Japan with my friends two years ago: https://kammartinez.wordpress.com/2015/11/12/dreaming-dreams-of-sushi-gyoza-and-ramen-a-review-of-rice-noodle-fish-deep-travels-through-japans-food-culture-by-matt-goulding/">https://kammartinez.wordpress.com/2015/11/1...

If you want to know the kinds of books I love (and I admit, I’m quite generous/forgiving), here are the books I’ve chosen to rate with five stars: https://kammartinez.wordpress.com/category/books/five-star/">https://kammartinez.wordpress.com/category/...

Now, let’s be clear: I’m not a perfect paragon of a book reviewer. I realise there’s things I could work on, such as the lack of diversity in my reading choices and my overall attitude towards YA as a genre. I like to think I’ve grown since 2012, and I’m still growing.

But that’s partly why I’m posting this thread: to put myself out there and reach out to the wider bookish community, especially the Filipino book blogger/reviewer community.

So: this is me. Feel free to chat with me here or on my blog. I don’t bite, I swear!
