Welcome to my bookish corner of the internet! I’m Carla, an audiobook addict, crime-and-spice enthusiast, and lover of all things dark, twisted, and unputdownable. If a book has psychological thrills, morally gray characters, or a romance that burns as intensely as the suspense, I’m probably already obsessed with it.

📚 Favorite Genres: Psychological thrillers, mystery, horror, romance (especially dark romance with crime), fantasy, and women’s literature.
👀 Favorite Tropes: Morally gray characters, forced proximity, found family, unreliable narrators.
📖 Favorite Author: Kristin Hannah (because she knows how to break my heart in the best way).
📕 Favorite Book: The Great Alone—a story that wrecked me in the most unforgettable way.
🎧 Favorite Narrators: Zachary Webber (aka Jacob Morgan), Aure Nash, plus anyone who can make a villain sound irresistible.
💀 Favorite Bookish Aesthetic: Dark academia meets “I’d totally survive a thriller.”
🔥 Favorite Type of Protagonist: Badass heroines, antiheroes, and characters with a dangerously compelling edge.
📖 Favorite Reading Format: Audiobooks, but I’m a sucker for a beautiful sprayed-edge edition.
🖋 Favorite Bookish Habit: Collecting signed and sprayed-edge books—I may or may not have an addiction.
📦 Favorite Book-Related Item: My Brood Faye mug and my first edition of Lights Out.
🎬 Favorite Adaptation: Misery by Stephen King—because Kathy Bates nailed it.
🖤 Favorite “Guilty Pleasure” Read: None—because there’s no guilt in reading what you love!

I’m also incredibly passionate about supporting indie authors. Whether it’s discovering hidden gems, hyping up their work, or sharing reviews, I love helping indie books find the audience they deserve.

When I’m not lost in a story, I’m reviewing books on my blog, Bookstagram, and BookTok, where I share honest thoughts, snarky commentary, and the occasional bookish meme. Let’s talk books! Connect with me on my socials below. I love hearing what other readers are obsessed with.
