Welcome to Home of Bibliosmia

 

While "bibliosmia" may sound like a new word to most of us, its meaning is comforting and as familiar as an old friend. Bibliosmia is the smell of new books. As you may have already guessed, this blog will have a lot to do with books.

I enjoy reading. Although I am partial to non-fiction books, I am practically helpless when resisting a book calling me by my full government name. When one embarks on the journey of becoming a reader, they are either spoilt for choice or clueless. In this case, book reviews come to the rescue.

Book reviews are beneficial when determining whether or not to spend money and time on a particular publication. The writer of the reviews uses them as an excellent way to capture and present the salient features of the book, its vital message, and possibly any dissatisfaction the reader may have with the book. 

Many are the times I have come across a book that looks interesting. In a bid to determine whether it is well-researched, informative, and beneficial, I will read several reviews before reading the book itself. This practice has encouraged me to read books I would have otherwise never looked at again. It has also spared me the waste of resources on a poorly-written book.

I hope that with this blog, I will give you the same benefits I have experienced across a variety of genres. If you have already read any book I will be reviewing, I would be thrilled to hear about it! If you are yet to read it and finally do, I would be equally excited to hear your thoughts and opinions on the book. I will be posting new content every Saturday. As the audience hopefully expands, I may invite guest bloggers and occasionally break the monotony by posting something other than a book review.

Now let's inhale some more bibliosmia, shall we?
