About

I am a member of the Book Squad at LPL, and I may or may not be LeVar Burton's Best Friend Forever (or at least that's what my business card says). I like unhinged female protagonists, existential dread, scary stories, gothic tension, kissing books, old houses, old movies, and queer characters.

Finding that one book you thought was lost
LGBTQIA+ recommendations
Fun facts about Harry Styles
