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.
