Alma (she/ella) is a voracious reader and bookworm who started talking about books on Twitter starting in 2020, reviewing on StoryGraph in 2021, and joined the BookTok crowd in 2023. Alma enjoys SFF both as an escape, and to reflect on the state of our world. She especially enjoys reading from BIPOC and LGBTQNIA2S+ authors, and loves it when folks ask her for SFF book recommendations - she keeps lists of different kinds of SFF recs based on what friends, acquaintances, and strangers on the interwebs enjoy. When she's not reading, Alma is engaged in social justice activism, nerding out on data analytics or ttRPGs, is teaching her dog a new trick, spending time under the surface of the ocean for fun and as a citizen scientist, or researching the best location for her newest native pollinator plant acquisition. Alma lives as a transplant in Austin, TX with her dog Mabel alongside lots of vinyls, books, and plants.
