About Us

Meet The Reader & The Chef:

The Reader:

Hello there! I’m Melissa, the reader of this blog. I’m 26 years old and I live in Mexico.

I love reading fantasy, paranormal and basically all things YA with a hint of romance, but I also enjoy reading New

Adult, Classics and sometimes Adult novels. I strongly believe that books are the perfect companions and all the therapy you need when you want to escape from reality and dive into amazing worlds!

Besides this blog, I’m also the owner of a bookstagram tour company called MTMC Tours, the Instagram Manager and a Staff Reviewer at YA Books Central, and a social media coordinator at Kate Tilton’s Author Services, LLC.

Find me on: Instagram, Twitter, and Goodreads.

The Chef:

Hi there! I’m Isabel, a 27-year-old professional chef in real life and of this blog.

I also love to read books, but most importantly, to cook. I’m here to help out my sister from time to time with her blog by creating delicious treats found or inspired by the books we read. Check them all out on our bookstagram!

Find me on: Instagram, Twitter, and Goodreads.
