About

Hello, welcome! 

I’m Lotus (she/her), a Chinese-American teen book blogger. I love reading as an escape from reality, delving into fictional worlds and living lives through characters that warm my heart and break it at the same time. Being an Asian American, diversity is really important to me and I love seeing different representations in the books I read. 

On my blog, you’ll see me talking about all things bookish and once in a while, my photography and writing.
