Aev the Reader
Reading is still a relatively new passion of mine. I started getting back into reading late 2022-early 2023 and have been addicted ever since. I primarily read romance and fantasy.
A goal of mine is to expand the bookish community here on the small web and bring readers together. This has started with The Book Ring which has many community-focused expansions planned for 2024.

“Every good story needs a villain. But the best villains are the ones you secretly like.”
This is by far the best book shopping resource I have found to date! It’s a reputable online discount bookstore where you can buy books for 50%-75%+ OFF the new retailing price! I’ve bought entire box sets and tons of popular books from this site for a fraction of the new retailing price, and the reason they go so cheap is because these books are often returns, special buys, or overstock they receive directly from the publishers.
The buttons below take you to my referral links for the USA and Canada, which gives you $5 OFF your first order from their site. 🥳 And just a quick disclaimer, I will never recommend websites/products/services that I do not personally use and love on my website. If I share it, I’ve already been using it, I love it, and genuinely recommend it. ♥
Community Involvement.
As I’ve been growing more into this hobby as well as the small web, I really wanted to create a space where readers could easily find and befriend others who love books and reading. So I’ve created a webring and directory called The Book Ring!
The Book Ring isn’t exclusive to just the small web, but I am hoping it will become an avenue for others to discover the small web. Authors as well as book bloggers are also welcome to join. ♥ So long as you have your own website/blog with book-related content and can share our webring code, you are welcome!
As of 2024, The Book Ring has made some expansion efforts. It is primarily settled in my library subdomain, though, you can still access is through Neocities as well. I have implemented more social features and intend to keep expanding this community, so be sure to check it out and join if it’s something you’re interested in!
