Hi there! My name is Ava, and i'm a sophomore creative writing major in university. I like to review books (typically YA, New Adult, contemporary, and romance) but I've been known to post some short stories as well. If you're looking for quirky reviews from a gen-z reader who spends more time scrolling through #booktok on TikTok than actually reading- check out my blog!

Foremost, I post here on me blog. I also will post on me Goodreads account and on Amazon. If a book is sent to me by a publisher then I will email a copy of me review to their preferred account as well. Please note that while me blog does not list ratings, I do rate novels on Goodreads and Amazon. Happy sailing and reading!

Simply put, The Perpetual Page-Turner is a book blog that has no boundaries. I read and review young adult literature of all genres, adult fiction (of most genres) and non-fiction (mostly travelogues and memoirs). Think of it as sitting down with a friend (with some margaritas and chips & guac) and just talking back and forth about the latest book you just read or want to read.

We're always interested in hearing about new books, but even with a stable of writers across book blogs we can't get to everything. So if you'd like to tell us about something, shoot us an email. Before sending something for consideration, take a look around the site to get a feel for who we are, who our readers are, and how we go about things. Bonus points will go to submissions that have looked at our contributors and can suggest which contributor might be a good fit for the book.
