Hello,

I am Oletha Hall a.k.a The Book Diva. As you can tell from my pseudonym, my passion is books. I love to read. Obsessively. My life revolves around reading. When I finish a good book, I don’t know what to do with my life. I do have other interests, but reading is my identity. If you ask anyone who knows me about me, the first thing they will say is “she reads… A LOT.” the genre I read the most and am very passionate about is romance novels. I read contemporary, historical and romantic suspense/thrillers. I am currently binge reading Chinese romantic web-novels and comics. They are very interesting. I also love to read romantic and action manga. This is who I am. Welcome to my world!

Ok, I admit I am exaggerating. I do have other interests and hobbies, but a big chunk of my life is spent in a book, whether print (hard/paper back) or an e-book. My Kindle is the closest friend I have at the moment-my best friend deserted me to move with her husband- how DARE she. The next best thing in my life is music. I love music. My father plays the saxophone, so I grew up with music. I mainly listen to K-pop, R&B, Gospel, Pop and Country, in that order. If I could play any instrument(s) it would be piano and/or guitar. I took piano lessons briefly as a child, but sadly, we couldn’t afford to keep it up, but I never lost interest in music.

My other interest is watching anime. I was watching anime before I knew that’s what it was. Dragon Ball Z took the place of The Power Rangers for me. I thought it was just an awesome cartoon, but I was wrong. I also watched an anime called Case Closed, which is my favorite, but again, I didn’t know it was an anime. Now, I watch a lot of different anime, including: My Hero Academia, Black Clover, Dragon Ball Super, and Fairy Tail, just to name a few. If you pay attention during discussions on Canvas, my profile pic is from Case Closed.

My hobby is playing The Sims 3 and 4. I really enjoy playing The Sims. Playing God is so fun. It is the thing I do when I am in between books and anime.

Despite that, my main thing is books. To the point that if you explore this sight, you will realize that it is a book review site, as evidenced by my URL. So, that is what I will continue to focus on. Although I haven’t had much time to blog lately, I am hopeful that after this semester, I will have the time to continue. I am so going to enjoy this part of the assignments, because I will have the chance and excuse to go back to reading and reviewing books, even if it means losing sleep, which I often do, especially when a book is addictive.

I am glad to share my obsession with you, and hope you enjoy the journey into my ever changing, but very consistent, romantic world.

See you soon,

The Book Diva
