Hello nice people!
My name is Elif. I’m here to share my love of reading as well as the beautiful things that catch my eye. Well, they are mostly about books, but once in a while, I go out and explore the world.

I am interested in a lot of things, so I try to read as much as I can. Japanese literature excites me, but I want to read at least one author from each country. My favourite genres are fiction, literary fiction, contemporary fiction, nonfiction, art, memoirs and travel. I also like books that combine art and literature or food and culture. Most of all, I try to learn how to love everyone and everything. Reading helps a lot with this.
You can contact me by sending me an email at hello(@)elifthereader.com.
I would love to hear from you!
