About


Hi, my name is Islam Ahmed and I'm the author of booksandtype. I live in New Jersey (don't you dare blech!). I, not unlike the hundreds upon thousands of books bloggers out there, enjoy reading (obviously), blogging, taking pretty pictures, going to the movies, drinking coffee, etc.

I initiated this blog in June 2015, and originally, I was using the (unfortunate) Weebly platform, but subsequently moved here (here being Blogger) for a better blogging experience and more technical freedom. Then abooksblog, this blog was solely dedicated to the review of books, but I thought it was too dull and so once, Tumblr piqued my interest in typography, and lo and behold, booksandtype was born. So, now, in addition to book reviews and open letters, I publish posts about relatively diverse topics without straying too far from the original purpose of this blog (though I may publish a few occasional random posts).  That said, my writing and perspective has developed and changed over the years, so please don't take me to task if my older content sounds juvenile and/or very surface-level. 

    My Reviews


Okay, a disclaimer: the reviews I write aren't particularly formal. I try to make them so, but I end up getting carried away and write just about whatever comes to mind. Also, I don't sugarcoat. Or rather, I try not to. I'm not very evasive when it comes to my reviews. If I don't like a book, I'll say so. It's my duty as a professional reader and reviewer to convey my thoughts on books as they are, unfiltered and unmodified. Also, I don't proofread my posts, so if you see a typo or read an awkward sentence, it's because I didn't proofread and not because I can't write.


Please appreciate the beautiful yet completely irrelevant picture of these flowers I found on Pinterest.
