Belle Can Read was created on November 29, 2016 as a platform for me to share my love for reading through reviews, discussions, and memes. Truthfully, I’ve always been a wishy-washy person, so I wanted to challenge myself to reflect upon the books I read and form my own opinions about them. Sometimes I venture away from bookish talk to speak about more personal topics, like being Asian American and mental health. Either way, Belle Can Read has become more than just a URL address on the internet—it’s a safe haven I can come home to and connect with the like-minded book community.

Hey there, I’m Belle! I’m trying to navigate my way around the real world by learning from make-believe ones 😅. Any fictional world suits me fine, whether they’re based in TV shows, movies, or video games. But, my favorite ones to escape to are by far the ones in books.
