Hi friends!

I’m Toi and this is my ToiBox of Words- my home on the web. I’ve been sharing my love of books, writing, most things geekish, and so much more for close to 20 years. I’m so excited to continue my journey with you here on Substack. See all the years of my previous posts, interviews, book and movie reviews, and more here. The blog portion of The ToiBox of Words, is, has, and will always be free, but there are other things you can support if you’d like.

You can also check out my other publication, Lit Carnivale, where I host four bookish podcasts.

I will also be sharing information about my health and food journey in the section Knauthentic. There is a special book publication in the works for those interested in that content.
