Hello! I'm Joyie, and welcome to Joyie Talks Books, my little bookish corner of the internet where I talk all things books.

So, why do I talk about books?

Because all my life, books have always been my safe place where I found emotional comfort. Whenever I've been in distress, books are where I've found solace. To me, books are home. 

But, how does that concern you?

It doesn't, except if you, too, love books. Then I'm here to be your bookish friend. Reading is fun but you know what's even more fun? Having a friend to read and discuss you favourite books with.

Now, what can you expect from me?

Just my candid thoughts on all things bookish— the books I’m reading, the things I’m liking or disliking about them, the bookish goals I’m setting, the screen adaptations I’m watching, or even the reading breaks I’m taking.

I have no degree in literature, so you won't find any academic analysis here—just the ramblings of someone who loves reading more than anything else in the world.

If you find joy in the pages of a good book, and would love to find a bookish friend to share that joy with, you've come to the right place.

And I’m always happy to make new bookish friends, so if you’d like to chat with me, you can also find me on Instagram. In case you’d like me to write for you, contact me at joyiewrites@gmail.com
