Welcome to the Restive Reader Blog!

I have been thinking for a while about starting a reader's blog, and the start of a new year seems like a fantastic time to do it!

I plan to post reviews of the books I read, reading lists, and anything about reading that strikes my fancy.

About Me

I'm a lawyer turned librarian, with a particular interest in historical fiction, fantasy, and biographies - particularly of strong women throughout history. I live in New York with my husband and my beloved pets - cats Hercules, Pandora, and Nyx, and a puggle-mix named Alexstrasza.
