I haunt libraries, read books, and drink tea.
 
I read 200 books a year—you can find my favorites on TikTok at @theaceofbooks. I love weird stories, strong characters, and narratives that make me go, “I’ve never read anything like this.” Think Harrow the Ninth, In the Dream House, and Annihilation.
 
Join my Bindery page for the Elsewhen book club; in-depth discussions of SFF stories; and longform bookish breakdowns of Latin, linguistics, and references to the classical world.
 
The book club reads new and backlist SFF with mind-bending plots and diverse characters.
