About Me

 

The blogger

Hiya! I’m Anastasia, and this is my blog. It’s not my first blog, but it’s pretty much the first one which a) is viewable to the public, and b) written under my own name. So that’s exciting!

I’m a 23-year-old lady who graduated from college with a major in English (and a minor in medieval studies). I started reading when I was around 3 years old and I’ve been going strong ever since. I love talking about books and anything related to books, including authors, book events, and the publishing world in general.

I’m a recent transplant to southern California and I’m looking forward to meeting other SoCal bloggers, going to lots of book events, and generally having an awesome time!
