I’m Amber. A reader of thriller and horror fiction from Chicago. I’m big on human rights (especially relating to women and the BIPOC and LGBTQ communities). I may share the occasional political commentary followed by complete utter silliness all in the name of balance. Also, I hope you like cats. 🐈‍⬛

There are women deep in the patriarchy and think they are using it to their advantage, only to find out later, they’ll be left with nothing and no one.

I have determined that everything right now is All Too Much and it needs to be Considerably Less, so if reality could just dial it down a fucking iota or two, I think we'd all like that

Read books. Or maybe listen to books, if that's your thing. Absorb yourself in stories, is the point. Imagination is what's kept me going for so long. Make believe is where it's at when reality is so grim.

Books alone can’t fix everything. But they can help us think critically and inspire our actions to build a better world.

Reading is a superpower. It builds amazing skills like critical thinking, empathy, and knowledge.

Here's to not only more reading in 2026, but using our superpower to create a better world 💗
