Hello dear readers! I’m Amanda, the reader, writer, and Bookstagrammer behind Her Infinite Archive. I’m an introvert, homebody, aspiring author, and former librarian. I’m also a New England native, where I live with my husband and our Yorkie, Winnie, who’s my best reading buddy. I enjoy reading all types of books and graphic novels. My preferred reading format is physical books, but I sometimes listen to audiobooks and have recently come to enjoy e-books. I loved deckled edge pages, and I mostly borrow books from the library and usually only buy them after I’ve read and loved them and want to add them to my shelves. My favorite book-related pastime is exploring the many amazing used and independent bookstores and public libraries throughout New England.

I love reading horror — particularly gothic — and while I don’t think of myself as much of a horror movie watcher, I recently realized that I actually do watch and love a lot of horror (just nothing too extreme). I’ve been Bookstagramming since 2017 and started Her Infinite Archive in May of this year. I love reading, reviewing, talking about, and recommending books, as well as connecting with other readers, writers, authors, and booklovers.
