ABOUT KAT
SO! This is the place where I talk about myself -unabashedly! *takes deep breath* Don't worry. I won't tell you the icky bits. You'll only get to see the sparkly part of me instead. (Well, not really.) Let's also agree to skirt around the "WELCOME TO MY BOOK BLOG" part, since I already did that here. Now that's settled, getting personal in three, two, one...
Hi, you lovely reader!
I'm Kat, a teenager who, evidently, loves books. I spend most of my free time reading, emptying my wallet at my local bookstore, sharing the love for books, and then back to reading some more. Fantasy is definitely my cup of tea -especially high fantasy!- while dystopian novels do catch my attention at times. (By that I mean a lot.) Contemporary is my go-to genre whenever I am in a reading slump. Also, I stay away from horror or paranormal titles like the plague -I just can't stomach all that gore and creepiness.

There are times when I have drifted in and out of both short and long periods of book slumps, but never once did I rethink my love for books. It became official one night when I knew I wanted to be a part in sharing the love of books, and thus Perusing Bookshelves was born. I'm not one to stick with newfound hobbies but I've already pledged myself to books so it's safe to say that this book blog'll be around for a long time!
I'm not just a book reviewer, but a fangirl too! There are a few books -or, say, series- that will have a place in my heart forever. The Harry Potter series without a doubt, the Percy Jackson series along with the Kane Chronicles and the Gallagher Girls series. Along the way, I have added The Young Elites trilogy by Marie Lu, the Throne of Glass trilogy, and The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski.
And hey, I'm a lot of fun and can never be too serious, so don't feel shy to comment on my posts! My blog is always open to fangirl-y comments or constructive criticism. I don't bite -except when people give snide remarks about books- and will be very happy to read what you have to say!
Here's a little secret: I've also taken a liking to typography and art! View my typography by clicking on the "typography" tab in the upper right corner. For more typography, you can visit my Instagram account: @katerrific_designs!
If you are an author, publisher or publicist and would like to send me a review request, please read my review policy and rating system thoroughly before submitting your review request here. You may also want to click around my blog or read my reviews to get a hang of my review style. I can also be contacted through email: perusingbookshelves (at) gmail (dot) com
I'm also very active on Twitter, so don't you hesitate to tweet me! I'm a friendly person and will tweet back with lots of exclamation marks! (...with the exception of really crappy days that leave me in a foul mood, but these days rarely happen. So go ahead!)
Now that you know all these things about me, won't you stay and have a look around at my blog? :)
