About the Bookworm

Hi there fellow book nerds! My name is Alexandra Nae (or simply Alexx), a 24-year-old introverted bookworm and fangirl from the Philippines.

I have been fond of reading since I was a kid, but it wasn’t until I was twelve that I started reading and collecting books wholeheartedly. Now, I’m 24 years old and convinced that my TBR will be the death of me.

I read mostly Fantasy novels, though I can also be seen reading Contemporary/Romance novels occasionally. I love reading diverse books, queer books, and those that have my favorite tropes. When I’m not reading or writing book reviews, I’m most likely watching a movie with my sister or listening to BTS.

Some rapid-fire bookworm questions:

  • Favorite genre/books: Fantasy. SFF. LGBTQ+ reads. Diverse reads.
  • Favorite authors: Rick Riordan, Leigh Bardugo, Victoria Lee
  • Favorite Book: Several books come to mind. I can’t pick one, sorry I’m a Libra
  • Hardback or Paperback: Both
  • Bookmarks or dogears: BOOKMARKS

I’m an active member of the bookstagram community where I can be seen talking about books on the daily.

“He looked like someone who had found his purpose, and now that he knew what he was supposed to do, he wouldn’t let anything stand in his way. Those were the sort of people who changed the world, who unraveled the threads of fate and rewove history. But those were also the sort of people who died, who burned themselves out hot and fast on nothing but a dream.” “I would rather make another terrible decision than live knowing that I hadn't tried.” Yeah, I've read the big three. And I'm a fan. 🤧 “I don't think I could possibly have found a more doomed first love, but it's worth it. It's probably going to break my heart, and it's still worth it.” Okay, I promise I did not paint my nails black just for this. However, it kinda matches the mood?? And I love it 😭😂 “​Life isn’t all joy and flight; it’s also raw aches and pains. It’s loving someone so much it makes it hard to breathe, and then letting them go. It’s good and it’s bad and it’s too much to keep contained inside you.” “​Your heart will never lead you wrong, but it can be hard to hear it. You have to give it space to speak. That’s a form of love too.” The way I immediately caught sight of BTS book recommendations at the bookstore 😩 (apart from queer books ofc 😆) “​She feels like spine of a book about to crack and spill out all the love story guts.”

But this blog—this blog is going to be a collection of my detailed reviews. I’ll also be posting blogs/listicles, interviews, unboxings, and just altogether bookish things. You can also expect occasional personal blogs or music-related blogs from me.

Anyway, that’s it for now! I look forward to talking to you nerds!

Sincerely,

Alexx
Enthralled Bookworm
