About

Hi,

I'm Cas. I love all things bookish. You can often find me reading, taking pictures of books, and spending all of my money on books and awesome preorder swag. I enjoy dystopian, fantasy, and of course anything within YA.

I'm a full time student, majoring in biology. The plan currently is to become a RN. I wanted to become a writer in high school, but my counselor told me to pick a "real" job, so here I am now. I work for my university as tutor on top of all of my course work, so finding time to read is rather difficult.

I have attended several bookish events, and have a massive collection of signed books. They are kind of my addiction. I have three shelves dedicated to only my signed books. Also, I've started to have an obsession with getting my hands on ARCs, though I'm sure that's true for most of us. Honestly, who can wait the six months for a sequel? Not me! I've met so many lovely authors such as, Rick Yancey, Sarah J Maas, Victoria Aveyard, Rainbow Rowell, Alexandra Bracken, Libba Bray, V.E. Schwab, Veronica Roth, and Zac Brewer, just to name a few. I also have had the privilege of meeting one of my favorite authors, Julie Kagawa. So yes, dragons are my thing!

I hope you enjoy hanging out here. I know I love having other bibliophiles around here! Feel free to contact me at checkmatereads@gmail.com.

Outlandishly Yours,
Cas
