My name is Laura Fabiani and I live in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I'm an author, book reviewer and blogger since 2009. My reading tastes vary greatly and I read both fiction and non-fiction. I review adult, YA and children's books, since I love reading to my children. I review books for pleasure and learning. I prefer books free of profanity, explicit sex, violence or paranormal themes. I post my reviews on my blog Library of Clean Reads, Goodreads, and Amazon.

I am also the owner of iRead Book Tours and Italy Book Tours. I coordinate virtual book tours for authors. Find us at www.iReadBookTours.com.

I have a degree in Special Care Counseling and have worked as a psychiatric child counselor and as a special education technician at various ins ...more
