Film Festival Pre-Screener and Screener
In 2024, I started pre-screening and screening entries in the SLO Film Festival and the Reel Sisters of the Diaspora Film Festival. Both provide an excellent first look at over 400 shorts, docs, and full-length films.

Reviewer
In 2013 I opened my Goodreads account and tracked everything I read.
In 2014, I began reading and reviewing books with a more critical eye.
In 2019, I began reviewing titles for Netgalley and I am now a Top Reviewer with well over 400 titles reviewed.
In 2021, I started my blog and began working more with publishers. I also started reviewing for the NFAA which has brought nonfiction to the front of my reading.
In 2023, I challenged myself to read a classic piece of literature weekly. Join me on my journey.

About Me
Hi! My name is Kassidi. I am 45 years old, and I live on the central coast of California. I am passionate about reading and books.
I live in a beautiful city close to vineyards and the Pacific Ocean. I live there with my husband of 25 years and my three boys.
I spend most of my time reading or compiling lists of books I’d like to read. Some of my favorite things are books and book-related.
