@liamslyceum

I am Liam, AKA Hemvar, and I love to read and write, and I study literature and language and so make videos on those topics from time-to-time. Edward M. Kovel Award-winning booktuber. “We hang out in smokey basement channels, listen to very loud audio books and console ourselves by feeling intellectually superior to the sell-outs of mainstream booktube, secure in the knowledge that people who have not read The Mirrors Of Tuzun Thune know nothing about literature.”
