✨️Get to know the reader ✨️

♡Hello everyone! I came here as a booktok refugee - & I see some other people did too. I've had Tumblr for a long time but only recently downloaded the app again and got back into it! I sort of found a community on TikTok, but it is something I continue to look for online.

♡I'm hoping that I can make more bookish friends/connections on this platform and get recs & thoughts & reviews on books as well :)

♡I like to read high fantasy, sci-fi, historical romance, cozy fantasy, and romance (in general). I've recently been trying to get into the mystery & thriller genre!

♡Some of my favorite books include Parable of the Sower by Octavia E Butler, The Beautiful Ones by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, & Swept Into the Storm by Louise Mayberry.

♡If you like any of the same thing I do (or even if not) let's follow one another! I am also on StoryGraph. We can build the bookish community together :)
