Long time reader, first time reviewed.

Name: Ashley (she/her/hers) but will also accept (they/them/theirs). I am 27 with love, hope, and aspirations in a time when I feel like the world does not want me to have those things.

I have been an avid reader since I was very young. Definitely a way to escape some personal traumas, trials, and tribulations. Such is the way of growing up in small towns with low tolerances. I am back into reading again due to some similar occurances except this time they are at a global scale.

I am currently finishing up my MS/MPH and have been reading to pass the time. I am exhausted, overworked, and unemployed. Life goes on. I start my new job in about a month and I will be moving in with my long term partner when I begin that job as well. Lots of very exciting life changes happening for me.

I am writing a thesis on HIV risk behaviors and health related quality of life which I plan on publishing on my tumblr when it is complete. I hope its received well because I have worked so insanely hard on it.

I have a dog (Murray) and a cat (Margo). They are both black (black lab and black kitty) and they are both older. My life is full of drama that hopefully will be funny to read about as I update intermittently between reviews on books I have read.

I am a safe space for all communities and am happy to assist in connecting you to resources that could help you in any situation.

I want to eventually make booktoks but I am nervous about posting myself on socials maybe. https://pin.it/4iljzpsPv this is my personal pinterest board that I update as my aesthetic and I have many boards you can follow.

Interests include: books obviously, my family sometimes, my boyfriend/partner when he acts right (he always acts right and I love him a lot), my pets, interior decorating, writing and journaling, public health, my thesis, helping people, loving things, studying, art even though I can't do art, instagram, my family and love and life. I like hiking and being outside. I am allergic to flies which I didn't know that was a thing. I have an immunodeficiency that I work really hard to manage. I don't use AI for anything on this page. I mostly read roman or green mythology but I prefer fiction. I don't watch a ton of TV because I spend most of my time working. I am into LoFi and easy going music but I will link my spotify sometime. I have my BS in microbiology, I have worked closely with the Moderna Vaccine. I lived in Hawaii for some time.

I love sunflowers, peonies, gardening, fall, rain, soft colors, dramatic speeches, love, the ocean, the mountains, mythology and psychology and the way one can explain the other, the moon, winning, being right, being wrong, learning, spite, anger, humanness, prophecy, Taylor Swift, lyrically beautiful music, caffeine, home, Gilmore Girls, beautiful things, the word ethereal, and the Throne of Glass series.

I am bipolar 2, have generalized anxiety disorder, clinical depression, and probably some other things I am forgetting. I work hard to manage it and I am medicated and managing. I am lucky. I have hypermobile EDS, arthritis, mast cell activation syndrome (MACS), chronic fatigue, and postural orthostatic hypertension (POTS). I was a collegiate athlete turned woman with chronic illness. In the last year I have torn both of my ACLs/MCLs, had full joint reconstruction on both of my ankles, managed to break my tibia, and continue to get out of bed and try not to hurt myself. Some days are better than others.

Favorite thing to say currently: "No revenge becaue I admire the way I grow after going through hard things and you're exactly where I left you"
