Then and Again, I Say Yes—Ask Again, Yes

About the Blogger

My name is Robin Chan. I currently work as a book buyer for an independently owned English bookseller in Hong Kong. In general, I enjoy my work—getting to know all the new books, restocking the old ones I consider good books, curating lists and catalogs and writing about them and getting paid for all that. But it’s not possible to talk about all your personal favorites if you don’t own the business. So here I am, this is my personal business about everything I love in reading, and yes—you see it already—gaming. I started gaming pretty young and I am proud to say that I still thoroughly enjoy exploring new worlds and characters and narratives which sometimes in their own unique ways surpass the ways books interact with you, and of course, it’s the same for books the other way round. And this is where I explore the interactions of my two favorite mediums.
