It’s me, hi!

Profile by @sennydoesarty

I’m Gwen, an avid reader, massive Swiftie, and self-diagnosed hoarder of stationery. Gratefully Gwen was created as a space for me to review books, celebrate my love of fashion, musicals, and everything in-between.

Typically you can find my nose buried in fairytale retellings, sports romances, and romantasy titles that have a healthy dose of powerful female main characters, magic, and a loveable (yet morally grey) found family. Some of my auto-buy authors include Emily Henry, Lauren Roberts, Jessa Hastings, Rory Scott, and Maren Moore.

When I’m not indulging in my wildest fantasy (getting paid to read while laying in the sun like a cat), you can usually find me hunting down copies of The Princess Bride with a vanilla Dr. Pepper in tow.

As a mood reader, my tastes can turn on a dime, and sometimes you start a book that just isn’t hitting right - and that’s okay! Here lies all the books I’ve started over the past year that I’m saving to come back to at another time.

To save my sanity, here’s a snapshot of the books I’ve leant out to friends so I don’t panic when I don’t see them on my shelves.
