About

Hola mi gente! Life long lover of books. My tastes generally lean towards Romance although I’m always ready for a good Fantasy or Paranormal fiction. Love a good spicy book but I can also rock with clean Y.A. Although physical books are my preferred format, I mostly read ebooks and audio due to the convenience. Constantly on the hunt for the best love stories from indie BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other marginalized authors, so please send me ALL the recs (A+ if the MC is plus sized). I do a lot of ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) reviews, (mostly Romance) and trilogy/series.

You can reach out with your book recommendations & follow me via IG, Storygraph, Fable & Goodreads under TravelingBookieMonster.

I am still recovering from the losses of Michelle and Nicholas, so adding this one to the list was gut wrenching. Like many elder millennials, I was introduced to Anthony Stewart Head, through Buffy the Vampire Slayer where he taught us about life, grief and the power of knowledge. For seven years we were gifted with the many talents of...
