About Me

Hi there and welcome to Lizzie's Reading Nook, a collection of book reviews and updates.

I'm Lizzie, and I'm located in beautiful South Australia. When I'm not reading, I'm either working as a laboratory chemist (I have a degree in Forensic Science - which explains a lot about my love of crime books and shows!), watching a crime show, or I'm watching or playing sport. 

I grew up surrounded by books, as both my parents were avid readers and collectors. We're more of a book dragon family than we are a book worm family! Being surrounded by books as a child was amazing - though I was often told I was reading way too old for my age. As a kid and teenager, I was happiest in a library or curled up reading a book. Unfortunately, as I've gotten older, reading has taken a bit of a back seat. However, nothing beats being able to spend several hours with a book, getting completely and utterly lost and consumed in the pages.

I will read pretty much anything, and I love a good book rec! If a book has been recommended to me by a friend, I will read it until I'm finished, even if it's a struggle sometimes. There have been plenty of books I've read where I haven't actually enjoyed them until the second half of the book (or even later sometimes!).

My favourite genres are:

  • Crime (fiction and true crime)
  • Paranormal
  • Romantic Suspense
  • Fantasy
  • Paranormal Romance
  • Dark Romance

Some of my favourite authors include:
  • James Patterson
  • Nalini Singh
  • Chris Hammer
  • Candice Fox
  • Charlaine Harris
  • Enid Blyton
  • Patricia Briggs

I can be found on Goodreads (along with my short, immediately upon finishing reviews) here: www.goodreads.com/lizzie_35 and on Instagram here: @lizzies_reading_nook

I'm always on the lookout for more books to add to my TBR pile, so please don't be afraid to drop a book rec for me to check out.




Happy reading!



Lizzie x
