Hi there, Nice To Meet You! Welcome.
Hi there and welcome to Rainbow Reading Nook. Rainbow Reading Nook is an independent Book Blog that recommends Fantasy and LGBTQ+ Books. On Rainbow Reading Nook, I particularly enjoy recommending diverse books with LGBTQIA+ representation.
At the start of 2020, I was leading a pretty normal life. I got a degree, a job working in a school and moved in with my amazing girlfriend. But I didn't enjoy the job and it never left me feeling fulfilled.
I watched some Youtube videos about starting a blog and it inspired me. I'd always dreamt of starting my own blog or Youtube channel. I remember in school I used to love making websites using sites like Matmice.
I decided to start my own blog. I initially started using the domain Notes By J. I wasn't sure what to write about so I just decided to talk about what I love - books and reading.
In the day, I would work in my fulltime job. In the evening I would write on my blog. And then lockdown happened. I was stuck in small apartment, unable to see my friends or family. The blog became an outlet and I poured my heart into it.
I've since changed the name to Rainbow Reading Nook. I share book lists, book recommendations. Rainbow Reading Nook has become a hub for Fantasy and LGBTQ+ book recommendations. Now I continue to work full time and update the blog in my spare time.

I frequently read eARCs from NetGalley but I mostly read books I’ve borrowed from my local library or from my own personal collection.
