Welcome to Checkmate Reads Blog!

Hi guys,

I'm Cas and welcome to my blog! I am very excited to be starting this finally. I may be new to blogging, but I am no stranger to books. I am frequently found at book festivals, author signings, attempting to take pictures of books, and reading a good book while eating. I am very privileged to have met so many awesome YA authors including Rick Yancey (who was pictured in my senior baby ad in high school), Sarah J Maas (who called me a rule breaker), Victoria Aveyard (who inducted me into the Scarlet Guard), and Ransom Riggs (who almost got sick on my shoes at a festival, then later photobombed me at an event). I'm going to be using this blog to post all of my bookish thoughts and feels as I continue to read. Feel free to comment and tell me recommendations and your feels too! I love making bookish friends who understand my ships (Rowan and Aelin, what's the ship name? Rowaelin? Aewan? Rowalin? Those all sound awful, so hopefully someone has something better out there.)

When I'm not reading however, I am a full time college student. My major is biology. Studying takes up most of my time, so I am forced to read books slower than I'd like, so this blog will contain more reviews during the summer and my breaks. However, I'm going to try to make it a goal to post once or twice a week, even if it is not a review.

You can find me on Goodreads, Twitter, and Instagram all at @checkmatereads ! Come hang out with me here on my blog. Hope you enjoy your stay and come back soon for the latest news and raves!

Rise Red as the Dawn,
Cas
