About

You’ve come to this page, so I assume you want to learn a little more about ThirstforFiction. Well, quite simply, we are a YA book blog! Founded in 2009 by Rhys, ThirstforFiction offers book reviews, author interviews and book giveaways as well as the occasional book news or meme participation. We are all passionate about books, and love reading (just like you, we hope!)

How did it all begin?

Well, it all began a couple of years ago when Rhys started reading mountain loads of books from his school library. His passion started with fantasy, but soon swept across many other genres. After establishing himself as a book worm at his school, friends would often ask for book recommendations and advice, which Rhys gladly gave. One thing led to another, and Rhys decided to write reviews on the books he was reading. Rhys’ book sites went through various incarnations, before finally becoming what is now known as ThirstforFiction- when Rhys started to take what he did seriously.

Who is ThirstforFiction?

Rhys

Rhys is in his GCSE years (that’s the middle years of high school for you Americans…) at a school in South East England. Rhys writes most of the reviews that can be found on ThirstforFiction. When he is not reading, Rhys enjoys listening to music, watching films, drawing, singing or messing about with the blog. There are way too many books that Rhys loves, but suffice is to say that he enjoys fantasy novels, and his guilty pleasure are coming-of-age dramas (such as The Perks of Being a Wallflower).

Stevie

Stevie is an insidious, somewhat hairy life form that favours a warm, dry habitat with plenty of shelves and a sturdy reading lamp. She is known to sacrifice countless cvs to the god of job-hunting in the hope that he will provide her with something better than McDonalds. When she emerges from the depts of her duvet she enjoys wrestling with the strands of her first novel and feeds mainly on a diet of Stephen Fry, Jasper Fforde and Tamora Pierce. She is still waiting for her letter from hogwarts.

Daisy

Allera is the editor for ThirstforFiction. She’s currently going to university for English, but tries her best to put aside time for reading and writing. Her favorite genres to read include science fiction, fantasy, historical fiction, romance, and mystery. She’s currently trying to read the more recently popular Young Adult fiction novels. In her free time, Allera enjoys long bike rides, playing video games with friends, and designing her future dream home.
