What is your favorite genre or subgenre?
Fantasy and Dystopian. Fantasy has always been a way to escape the real world and to show what a world can feel like if things were done differently. Dystopian because it allows you to see destruction of a corrupted world for whatever reason, but then you see the strong souls of survivors to make a decision to build a better world.

What is one of your favorite 5 star reads?
The SEPA Project by J. Moody.
Do you have any unique reading quirks?
I prefer to read multiple POVs. I judge a book by its cover all the time.
Who is one of your favorite authors and why?
Christopher Paolini. He just gave me a beautiful world with dragons. A different world that allowed me to see dragons and humans being together.
What bookstagram accounts do you love to follow and why?
I follow a ton of bookstagram accounts. I cannot even name them all. I like to see different bookstagram accounts and what they bring to the table. I love being able to see different genres being represented and how much fun they have making their reels. I do find a lot of ideas to pursue, however, it has been hard. I do know that I want to bring forth multiple genres and not just the books that are hits.
What’s one of your favorite bookstores (city, state) and why does it stand out? Can you share their insta account?
Book-A-Holic in Wichita, KS. This bookstore is huge and has a lot to offer from new books to used books. This store has a bunch of genres and its not minimal on what they offer in those genres. They also have tons of seating around the store in comfy chairs and sometimes with tables to allow you to get sucked into your books. Not only do they do really great 10 for $10 deals and 50 cent deals, but they have games, vinyl's, movies and more. The staff is also very nice and welcoming.
What’s a book on your upcoming TBR list or wishlist? Why can’t you wait to read it?
Oh so many, however, I am excited to read, Murder Out Of Character. It is a new book that I picked up at Book-A-Holic and it is about a murder in a library. Brings forth two of my favorite things, libraries and murder mystery!!!!
What book character would you dress up as for Halloween?
The question should be who will I not dress up as? I love cosplaying and if my life was in a better and calmer state, I would be cosplaying a multitude of different characters. I always do Freddy Krueger though. This year will be slightly difficult for me as things are constantly changing and most of my stuff is now in a different place, but if I can choose a character right now, I would probably choose - actually you know, I cannot choose. I have been asked to cosplay Sage from the Diamond City series because she is a bad ass main character. But when it comes to cosplaying characters, I want to have a semi difficult character that is just not super common.
ALL DONE!!! Thanks for reading the interview!
