About the Blog
Hi! My name is Sam Kratman and this is my passion blog. For as long as I can remember, I have loved to read everything from classics to sci-fi to non-fiction. Even earlier than that, I developed a love for music – my parents raised my sisters and me on the Beatles, Phish, Journey, and Simon and Garfunkel. I’ve combined these two great loves of mine to form Books and Bops, where I review books and make a playlist for them. Each review includes the first and last line of a book, the book review, an associated playlist and explanation of a main song. Enjoy your time here!

About the Author
Sam is a biology student at Penn State, though she hails from New England. She and her triplet sisters were born in Boston but lived the majority of their life in Lincoln, Rhode Island. When she is not reading or carefully creating Spotify playlists, you can find her enjoying the great outdoors, catching up on the latest scientific journals, spending time with her very large extended family, or watching the New England Patriots (aggressively).
