Hi there! Welcome to Amanda’s Nose in a Book, my place to chat with you about all things reading, writing, and bookish.  I am a reader, writer, and teacher who loves to share the joy that books bring me with others.

I typically read young adult fiction, but you will see some middle grade and adult books sprinkled in here as well. My favorite genres are fantasy, sci-fi, and paranormal, but I love anything with an engaging story and characters I can root for (even if they are unlikable).

Writing wise, my current work in progress is The Girl in the Glass Coffin, a YA paranormal novel that has been years in the making. I’ve done NaNoWriMo every year since 2013 and plan to do it every year I can to stay creative and keep writing new books.

While Amanda’s Nose in a Book is where you will hear mostly about young adult and middle grade books, I also review and talk about historical fiction, write about some B-A ladies, and talk writing over at Creating Herstory.

I also love crocheting, Doctor Who, dogs, going for walks, bookstores, and the simple things in life.

If you would like to chat about books or writing, please feel free to contact me. My information is in the Contact Me section! I am currently not accepting books for review.
