Welcome to the blog!

Welcome to Lillian’s Library! My name is Lillian Kennedy, and I am a college student attending university in Ohio. I have always been a huge bookworm, so much so that I used to stay up late reading when I should have been sleeping. The only difference now is that I’m in college and there isn’t anyone to tell me not to. It was well known in high school that I was an avid reader, and once I moved away people started reaching out to ask me for book recommendations. After a few requests, I decided it would be fun to start a shared Snapchat story for myself and other book-lovers to post reviews and discussions when we finished reading a new one.

After all, I was already reading all the time: on the bus, between classes, even at the gym, so why not have a platform to share my thoughts and recommend the books I read to those with similar interests?

A little less than a month ago, I got a call from one of my best friends (and partner on this whole project), Abby Kay Griffith. She proposed an idea: why not start a blog? It could be like the Snapchat story, but so much more. I was already reading and writing reviews anyway, so would I be interested in expanding a bit? I was immediately interested in the idea, which was good because she already had a logo made and a name picked out, Lillian’s Library. If I wasn’t already convinced, that was the tipping point. I quickly agreed to the plan and got to work.

Now, you’re looking at the result. Feel free to explore my personal bookshelf at your leisure, but I’ll warn you that the reviews do contain some spoilers! Please remember that this is in no way a professional review, just my own personal thoughts and opinions on the books that I read. If you would like to open up conversation on something I talked about (or didn’t talk about) please feel free to do so in the comments of my individual posts. All I ask is that everyone respects one another, this is supposed to be a safe place to freely share our opinions, and it is perfectly fine that we won’t all agree. If you have a suggestion for a book you think I should read and review, email me at lillianslibraryreviews@gmail.com. I hope you like what you find here, I know I’ve loved making it!
