About

Hi! Welcome to CravingGreatReads.com. I’m Viane, the founder and main contributor. I’m a blog entrepreneur based in the Philippines. My main interests include entrepreneurship, stock market investing, and Christian living.

I share book summaries and reviews on books I’ve read. In my free monthly newsletter, I share full of cool goings-on in my little book world.

I’m on a mission to help people see the beauty of God’s creation first hand—so that they will stand in awe and they’ll fully experience the wonder of being loved by Him and loving Him in return.

What People Say About Me

Very insightful. I liked how Viane put actionable advice at the end of the book summary. Nice key points.

 5/5

Viane’s blog looks awesome, and she appears to be on the right track as far as what I’d recommend doing! Keep it up.

“For you, O LORD, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy.” (Psalm 92:4)
