Stories in Space, formally Olivia Chanel's Stories in Space, is a personal English-language book blog run by Olivia Chanel. Its predecessor was Olivia Chanel’s Galaxy of Books, founded in 2016. The author describes herself as an English student living in southern Sweden. The site centers on book reviews, reading lists, and reading-related discussions, with a particular focus on diverse books, romance novels, Young Adult fiction, fantasy, contemporary romance, and works by authors from marginalized communities.
It is not an e-commerce site or an e-reader, but a content-driven blog. Its main sections include reviews, book recommendations, book playlists, book tours, Interviews, monthly wrap up, releases, and Book Your Future Reads. Posts typically include publication details, publisher information, genre, summaries, purchase links, and the author’s personal reading impressions. Some posts also create Spotify or YouTube playlists for specific books, offering a distinctive kind of “book atmosphere” recommendation.
The site’s content is free to read, and it also supports email or WordPress subscriptions. The crawled content does not show any paid membership, courses, or paid downloads. Some reviews include outbound book-buying links to Amazon, Barnes & Noble, The Ripped Bodice, and similar sites, so there may be affiliate or promotional elements, but no paid services are clearly presented.
Its strengths are a clear editorial focus and a strong personal taste, making it especially useful for readers looking for English-language YA, romance, and diverse literature. The author emphasizes inclusivity and recommends authors from marginalized backgrounds, free books, and more niche titles. The downsides are that updates appear to be irregular, with the crawled pages showing recent posts concentrated around 2020. As a personal blog, its search and filtering capabilities are weaker than platforms such as Goodreads or Douban Reading. Its reviews are also fairly subjective, so it is not suitable as a serious academic or publishing-industry database.
It is suitable for English-language readers, romance readers, YA fans, and book lovers interested in diverse topics such as LGBTQ+, immigration, and mental health. It is also useful for anyone seeking inspiration for English book lists. It is less suitable for users who need Chinese-language content, systematic ratings, a massive book catalog, or real-time price comparisons for book purchases.
The site is hosted within the WordPress.com ecosystem, which means access from mainland China is often unstable or partially restricted. In addition, X, Tumblr, YouTube, and some overseas book-purchase links embedded in the pages may not be directly accessible. As a result, whether Chinese users can read the main text may depend on their network environment, while external media and social sharing features are more likely to be limited.
