About Me


Thanks for coming to my book blog. My name is Ricky Grove. I'm a writer, bookseller and avid reader. During the day, work at a great used bookstore, the Iliad Bookshop, in North Hollywood, CA. I also write non-fiction reviews and articles for Renderosity.com, an online computer graphics site. My personal website is at rgrove.com. You can find out more about me there. If you like what you read here, I urge you to subscribe to Booklad by email or via my Google+ site.
