A Little About Us

We’re Lola and Stephen. Between us, there’s usually a fantasy novel to finish or a Korean thriller to talk about. Pressvana is where we write about books, movies, TV, and the decisions behind them. We have our favorites, but we’ll still notice when a story takes three chapters or two episodes too long.
