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.

“It doesn't seem weird to think about other people's perspectives. It seems weird that most people don't do it.”

“A spirited fantasy enriched with Filipino culture and history.”

“...the whole point of fandom is the community of acceptance. We’re here to support each other in our weird obsessions no matter where we come from or what we’re like in real life.”

“You can't tell whether people are gay by what they look like. And gay or straight aren't the only two options.”

“There are things out there for you that you haven’t even thought of yet, that you don’t even know how to think of yet. Who you are here doesn’t have to be the same as who you are out there.”

What books did you buy or receive last March? 🤔

“Look, lady, we're not going to go all Hunger Games on each other. Isn't going to happen.”

“I’ll tell you what doesn’t work: conforming. Giving in to the expectations that the white supremacist hetero patriarchy puts on our behavior, on our expression of ourselves, our identities, our love. The future won’t be built by us becoming them. It’ll be built off of them slowly, painfully, learning that we’re human too.”

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
