About Me

Greetings & welcome to Skye’s Scribblings, a blog for bookish talk. I'm so glad you stopped by! :)

She Who Blogs Here

Skye is a early thirties asexual she/her who looks like a teen and reads like one too. She aspires to be a published novelist (you will read her work one day!), but for now contents herself with reading others’ work and reviewing it. If you are a published author and she loves your books, you can be sure she currently stalks you on Twitter, so feel free to stalk her back (@skyelyte).

Her reading tastes lean mostly into Young Adult with a smattering of sci-fi. She prefers stories with magic and/or a space setting, and it is a rare, pigs-fly day when she reads anything contemporary that does not also include the words “romance” or “light” in its description. Her favorite authors include Gail Carriger and Kasie West, while her favorite books vary with her mood and each passing novel she reads – see her Goodreads Favorites Shelf for the growing list.

When she isn’t reading she is thinking about writing (the actual writing part is currently a struggle for her). Her story ideas mostly cater to her reading tastes, and she tends to write about magic, the future of books, and going where no one has gone before. She started out a pure discovery writer but has since discovered the advantages of an outline.

As a Japanophile she adores Japanese culture and hopes to visit one day - although she can never seem to retain the language (her brain is a sieve) and doesn’t really like the food (she still strives to find something she can eat, though). Her strengths include typing, cat wrangling, and brainstorming (not only for herself, but others as well), while her weaknesses are driving, remembering names (brain sieve), and letting go of books from her extensive collection. She collects cats (3), books (innumerable), and maneki-neko (Japanese greeting cat statues). Her loves are (if you haven't guessed some of them by now) books, cats, magic, rain, and chocolate chip muffins (gluten-free and dairy-free), while she can’t stand bugs, balloons, heat, and strong smells.

You can find her online on Twitter and Goodreads, and while she has a Facebook and Instagram she doesn't post on them. Tumblr intrigues her but she's afraid to go down that rabbit hole.

Skye currently resides in the East Valley of Arizona. Not by choice.
