Tarotlive is a small independent blog about reading life. It is written and edited by Alex Nash, based in Reims, France.

Why this site exists

Most online writing about reading life is either thin gear-review content or polished aspirational pieces that skip the practical detail. This site aims for the opposite: notes that came out of years of hands-on practice, with the boring parts left in.

Posts here are not sponsored. The site does not run affiliate links. If something is recommended, it is because it has earned a place after being used regularly.

About the editor

Alex Nash has been writing about this subject for over a decade. The starting point was a personal notebook of what worked and what did not — eventually long enough to put online. Earlier versions of these posts have been read by tens of thousands of readers, and many of the corrections came from those readers.
