I got back into reading a couple years ago and have been loving it ever since! I love love romance but will dabble in other genres from time to time.

I have found that a lot of my favorite romance stories are a bit too spicy for my liking but still want people to be able to enjoy them without worrying about the spice. And that's when The Cleaned-Up Romance Collection was born!

I recently got back into reading after having my son to help me stay awake during night time feeds and I’ve been hooked ever since!

My first and true love is fantasy but will always take a break for a good romance. My top books of all time: Harry Potter (of course), The Stormlight Archive, and Throne of Glass (I read them before they were cool).

I grew up loving books as a kid and got back into reading as an adult back at the end of 2022/ beginning of 2023. It has brought me so much joy and it is so much fun being able to connect with others over this love for reading.

I am a huge romance girl as well as fantasy / romantasy! My top favorite books that fall into this category as Better Than The Movies, The Gaill, Powerless, The Do Over, and Redeeming Love.

I just got into reading in December in hopes of finding an escape from my busy life! I believe reading is a personal experience, it's truly what you make it.

I am predominantly a fantasy reader, however, I do enjoy romances, memoirs, and classics (Pride and Prejudice fans wya?!). While I love reading for myself, I also love to help others who are looking to get into reading by offering tips and tricks on my BookTok!

I rediscovered my love for reading earlier this year, all thanks to Fourth Wing. While I enjoy almost every genre, I have a particular soft spot for dystopian and fantasy.

I’ve never been a fan of spicy content, which had me hesitating on picking up many of the books that are now among my favorites. Now, I’m excited about helping others dive into these captivating worlds without the spice.

I was an avid reader as a kid, and that love for books has stuck with me throughout my adult life. I’m happy that I can now share that love for reading with my son.

I really enjoy immersing myself in fantasy worlds, but I'm also open to exploring different genres from time to time. Some of the books I really adore are The Stormlight Archives, Reiyalindis, Sands of Arawiya, and Goddess of Yesterday. I appreciate a clean reading experience and can't wait to share that joy with others.

I rediscovered a love for reading three years ago after reading A Court of Thorns and Roses. Since then, I've read countless fantasy books and am so passionate about making sure these books are loved by everyone that wants to read them!

I am a life-long reader. Fantasy has always been my preferred genre, but I started reading romance as well a few years ago. I have always wanted to make reading something everyone can enjoy and am so excited to participate!
