Welcome, I’m Alexia!

blogger | writer | beta & sensitvity reader

I’m a lifelong reader with a passion for promoting diverse, fun, and unique reads. Some of my favorite genres are romance, fantasy, and women’s fiction. I also help writers shape their stories into their best versions.

  • I love enemies to lovers, camp settings, and unreliable narrators.
  • Perks of Being a Wallflower is one of my favorite books
    and film adaptations.
  • The Nancy Drew series was one of my favorite series growing up.
  • Libby and the Kindle app are my lifesavers.

I hope you find what you’re looking for on my blog!

Featured Reviews

Cover of The Helm of Darkness by A.P. Mobley
“This is the kind of book where you wonder why everyone isn’t raving about it because it’s the best thing since sliced bread… Mobley did a great job writing believable characters that grew over the course of the book but never strayed from their original identity. The characters in this, even minor ones, were given so much detail and show how well-thought-out the story is.”
Cover of Daughter of Poseidon by A.P. Mobley
“The ending shook me, and I’m so glad I had the next book to jog my memory about what happens.”
Cover of None Shall Sleep by Ellie Marney
“I think None Shall Sleep is a stellar psychological thriller, and I’ve already recommended it to so many people. Especially for the YA thriller genre, this is peak literature and one of my new favorites.”
Trust Falling For You by Charish Reid
“The first two pages had me cracking up so much, I knew I was gonna love the story.”
