ABOUT ME

Hello, and welcome to my blog! My name is Ivan, an avid reader from Texas. This is Ivan's Insights, my book blog. It started out as a site where I could showcase my professional skills for my job search. I posted book reviews from the beginning, though I didn't turn Ivan's Insights into a serious book blog until 2022. Since then, my blog has been exclusively focused on reviews and other book-related posts.

Obviously, my favorite pastime is reading novels. I read most books in English, though I also get novels in French when I can find them. They're not easy to find where I live in the U.S. My favorite genres are mystery, sci-fi, fantasy, and romance. I'm a big fan of the Harry Potter series, but I have other favorite books. I use The StoryGraph to keep track of every book in my collection.

Ivan's Insights is my means to connect with the world. Through it I want to share my enthusiasm for reading. Social networks aren't quite suited for that, so I decided to launch this blog. I'm a casual book reviewer; I write reviews for most of the books that I read for pleasure. This means I don't take review requests. I will post new book reviews every week, on Wednesday mornings. Rest assured, I do not reveal spoilers.

RANDOM FACTS

My Hogwarts House is Ravenclaw (it was the one that most caught my attention when I discovered Harry Potter). I consider myself intelligent, creative, and a bit of an old soul.
My favorite car brands are Porsche, Acura, and Tesla. I like reliable small cars with great fuel economy (or an electric motor) and plenty of tech features.
My favorite Pokémon types are Steel and Flying.
