Welcome!

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. Many people come to this 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. 📚
