Hi, I’m Alex and I’m an avid reader. That was pretty obvious, wasn’t it? I’m from Ontario, Canada and I am an LGBTQIA+ reviewer. I love indie books and small presses, and do my best to highlight them over books from large publishers.
I love diverse stories and queer rep in books. Some genres that I love are Fantasy, Science Fiction, Horror, Cozy Mystery, Historical, and Contemporary, and Romance. I love spooky books, as well as light and fluffy books. I have a list of tropes and themes that I enjoy and don’t enjoy in books. So, to help you get to know me a bit more I will list some of them here.
My Literary Wheelhouse (reoccurring tropes, themes, settings, etc. I enjoy):
- Queer Relationships
- WLW in horror
- Spooky settings
- Thieves/Heists
- Dragons
- Morally grey characters
- Characters exploring their identity
- Monster Horror
- Dark/Creepy/Morbid vibes
- Group/Pair of characters on a quest who have tension/dislike each other
- MCs that are experts in a topic (from studying/learning/experience)
- Restaurants in space
- Murderous Fairytale creatures
- Murderous vampires
If you appreciate the work I do and the reviews I post, consider buying me a coffee!
Some of My Favourite Quotes
“Monster was the best, his favorite word. The first half was a kiss, the second a hiss.”
Jennifer Giesbrecht, The Monster of Elendhaven
Where there’s water, we find mermaids. Maybe it’s time we started asking ourselves exactly why that is.
Mira Grant, Into the Drowning Deep
He felt almost as though he could have planted his feet and become a tree himself, a strong oak reaching up to the sky, brother of the old oak who ruled the wood.
Emily Tesh, Silver in the Wood
Soulfully Alex
