Welcome all readers!

This is TVH Bookfan, and as you can tell by my username, I'm a big reading fanatic. I read everything from classics to bestsellers, YA fiction to chick lit. TVH are my initials.

I believe that all stories, whether they're in books, movies, television, or comics, have the power to change lives and help us navigate through this difficult world of ours. I can personally attest to this, since as a child who experienced difficulties after my family had to leave my unstable father twice when I was young, in addition to being diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) when I was ten, the stories I got out of books, television, and movies were a big comfort to me and probably taught me more about the world than I ever got out of those around me. As a result, I've always been an enthusiastic bookworm and binge watcher, and hope to entertain and educate the world through my own stories whenever I get the chance.

I recently received an associate's degree in general studies, so I'm done with school for a while, but I am considering going back at some point, because you're never really done with your education and the job market is always changing.
