My name is Mara and I am a 21-year-old Canadian who is obsessed with reading. I fell in love with reading in middle school and have become even more invested in my favourite fandoms and series. Such as the Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi, The Mara Dyer series by Michelle Hodkin, and the Caraval series by Stephanie Garber.
As well as reading, I love taking book photos and am quite active on my bookish Instagram account. I really enjoy the book community friends I’ve made, and love hearing all of their recommendations!
