About the Blog
How did the blog start?
In 2018, the founders of Book Nerds were 5th graders enjoying their adolescence in the midst of a routine school day. Their schedule consisting of math, science, social studies, and ELA. However, apart from their core studies, they had classes that were similar to encores or electives. One of those classes being media, a class in the school library. Our teacher gave us weeks to create a project and being the over achieving nerds we are, we chose to create a book blog. The rest, as the say is history.
Why are we doing it?
In 5th grade, we saw the problem of having to find appropriate books for our reading levels, or just books we like in general. We had seen the problem time and time again whenever we went to the library after finishing a book. We were sure that other people had this problem too, and we saw an opportunity to resolve it. To help people find good books to read, we started Book Nerds. It is no longer hard to find appropriate books, but we still wanted to share our passion for books, hence continuing Book Nerds.

Salutations! I hope you've enjoyed the site! A little about me... My favorite genre is realistic fiction. I have read way too many YA romcoms (go check out my podcast episode about romcoms)! I'll read anything though. I'm one of four, now five girls that decided to create this blog. When I am not reading I am knitting, golfing, watching tv, or participating in one of my many extracurriculars. I no longer regularly write reviews. Instead, I've been focusing on the Book Nerds Podcast with my co-host Gea!

Welcome to the site! I'm Lena, one of the founders of Book Nerds. Some genres I love are realistic fiction and mystery. All my friends already know what they want to be when they grow up, but I'm not really set on any careers at the moment. I hope you enjoy the site and you find that the reviews are helpful. If you have anything to say you can take the survey.

Hi, I'm Annabelle, one of the 5 girls part of this website. Some fun facts about me, I love reading (duh), writing, acting, painting, researching law and criminology. My favorite genre's are Fantasy, Mystery and Realistic Fiction. When I get older I would love to be involved in law. If I were to write a book it would probably be fantasy. I hope you enjoy our site and take our survey to put some of your own book reviews out there!

Welcome! My name is Allie, and I love to read. My favorite books are The Boy, the Bird, and the Coffin Maker and The Girl Who Sailed the Stars. As much as I love to read, I love to write. In my spare time, I like to do things other than reading and writing. (I know, what a surprise!) I like to play basketball, run cross country, and I like playing video games. When I get much older, I hope to go to college and become an ophthalmologist. (An eye surgeon) In the closer future, I hope to become an author. Have fun using our site!

'Sup. My name is pronounced Jaya, by the way- needed to clear up any confusion there. I'm new to the Book Nerds website, but definitely not new to being a book nerd. I love reading, and my favorite genres are dystopian, sci-fi, and fantasy. I'm also a writer. Other than that, I enjoy hiking and being out in nature, exercising (mainly running), learning Spanish, and playing with my cats. I do cross country and track & field. When I get older, I want to be an activist and focus on issues like climate change, protecting wildlife and the environment, and social justice- racism, sexism, and anti-LGBTQIA+ discrimination. I am obsessed with animals and with saving the earth. I also hope to publish the book I am writing at some point, and likely will continue more professional writing from there. I hope you enjoy the website. And check out our podcast! We would much appreciate it if you took the survey, as well- feedback is highly valued. Thanks for checking out Book Nerds!
