Hi, I’m Marlo
Hello and welcome! Whether you found this website via an online search or a social media platform, I’m happy you’re here.
Since 2016, I’ve been creating book notes and summaries as a way to help me process, retain, and review all of the knowledge I’ve learned from amazing books I’ve read.
At first, these posts were simply the raw notes I took while reading. Over time, however, I’ve been refining the way I published these notes to be easier to digest for readers like yourself. Now, readers usually come to my site to check out a summary of a book they might be interested in, or for a refresher of a book they’ve already read and enjoyed.

If you haven’t already done so, I highly recommend subscribing to my Yolocruz Book Club email list. As I read new books and publish my book notes, I’ll be sending the best highlights, quotes, and summaries of the book into a quick, easy-to-digest email.
