About

Thank you for checking out SR Westvik's Bookshelf!

I blog about books I love, both old and new, especially fantasy, young adult, history, and current affairs. My background is in English literature and war studies, which filters into the kinds of stories I crave. Give me fantastical dramas wrapped in politics or spooky fairytale whimsy. Let me in on stories about science or the hidden faces of war.

I also post reviews on Goodreads and Medium

Outside of bookish pursuits, I'm a freelance research consultant, a writer of both fiction and nonfiction, a student of international war studies, and an aspiring Tolkien scholar. In all domains my main interests are chatting about media, conflict, and the places where the twain meet.
