About Me

Hi there, I’m excited for you to learn more about me! Welcome to my cozy corner of the internet, where I review young adult books!

I’m Victoria, a 20-something year old avid reader and obsessive tea drinker. I have always had a strong passion for reading and with time, this passion has only increased. I made a decision to start blogging to provide me with an outlet to talk about books.

In January of 2017, I began my blogging journey on Tumblr and in March of 2018, I moved over to my new home, on WordPress!

Fun Facts

I have always loved reading and I attribute the Harry Potter series for fuelling this passion.  I love reading and collecting physical books and only resort to using an e-reader when travelling. The feel of flipping through the pages of a book is the best.

I am an Elementary School teacher and am qualified to teach Kindergarten to grade six. I’m excited to introduce my current and future students to wonderful worlds and adventures through the written word.

I love dogs. My two Border Collies are my constant companions and are always around while I’m reading. Skype is eight, and Rory is one.

Apart from reading, I love watching television. I constantly wish that I was living in Stars Hollow, bonding with Rory about books. Friends is always on repeat. Need TV recommendations? Feel free to ask!

My favourite authors include JK Rowling, Sarah J Maas, Cassandra Clare, Stephanie Garber, Helen Hoang and Jane Austen (I’m a sucker for Pride and Prejudice!)

I love to wrap myself up in a blanket and read on the couch or sit down by the dock at my cottage, overlooking the lake. You’ll most likely find me with a cup of tea while reading. That being said, I am not very adventurous when it comes to trying new flavours.

I am based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
