About Austine
I have it on good authority that when you read a book, part of your soul is trapped within the pages. In which case I have trapped so many pieces, I will never die so you will all have to suffer my presence for eternity.
You can call me Austine. I’m a twenty-something U.S. based research grant developer who enjoys reading dead trees. I’ve reviewed books since 2011 on NovelKnight, where my literary questing sends me to battle dragons and save princesses (and the occasional prince) and find a happily ever after.
It’s a work in progress.
If it’s mystical I’ve probably read it (or plan to, hard to tell with my TBR pile). I’m a sucker for nail-biting action and starry-eyed romances. And dragons. A book has dragons? GIMME.
Pretty sure I’m actually just Mushu in human form.
To the important things in life:
When I took the test it told me I’m an INTJ so I guess that’s right? I have a terrible habit of being snarky first, thinking later. I have both a Nook and a Kindle but prefer physical books. Everything’s better as a series (with the exception of The Night Circus and Uprooted because they’re fabulous). If you dog-ear my books I will find you. Monster reads are preferable to something short and sweet, but both have their perks. And if it’s packed with action and a starry-eyed romance? Hell yeah!

About Katie
The entire world is made up of stories, and stories just happen to be my favorite thing.
Hello hello, my name is Katie, and I love books. (Obviously, right? I mean, this is a book blog. Why are bios so weird to write?) I’m a twenty-something aspiring writer, and I’ve been blogging and writing slow-burn love stories since 2014. I have three dogs and three cats and a husband, and they’re all constantly trying to get me to pull my nose out of whatever I’m reading at the moment.
So yes, I love books. But more than books, I love stories. Give me a good story, and I’m set. Whether it’s Katniss battling it out in the 74th Hunger Games, or Eragon and Saphira racing across Alagaësia to escape the Ra’zac, if a story has adventure, competition, romance or characters I’d die for then I’m golden.
I’m an INTJ Ravenclaw, and let me tell you, I AM an INTJ Ravenclaw. Think Mr. Darcy as a fast-talking millennial woman. In my opinion, the bigger the book, the longer the series, the better(I’m looking at you, Wheel of Time). The longer it takes the two characters who obviously have feelings about each other to admit it, the happier I am. I split my reading time between my Kindle Paperwhite and physical books. I also love comics, video games, movies, tv shows, basically anything that has a good, you guessed it, story.

“Talk. About. Relevant. . . . Light and fluffy and fun.” —Internet Famous, Danika Stone (listed under posting for Sip Sip Bang Bang)
The Cityborn by Edward Willett
“I really enjoyed this glimpse into the other twin. It made me hate her a little less but not enough that she’s won me over completely (Jude is still my fave). Honestly if you’re deciding whether or not to buy this, DO IT. It gives more insight on Taryn’s character and I liked that I understood her reasoning more.” — The Lost Sisters, Holly Black (bookstagram feature)
