about me

welcome stargazers & story seekers!

i’m aly blair, the chaotic mind behind bookish belle blair, where i shout about books, obsess over fictional characters, and hoard TBR lists like a dragon hoards gold.

who am i, really?

  • reader of everything — but especially fantasy, romance, and stories that make me cry at 2 a.m.

  • writer of my own chaos — currently drafting my debut fantasy novel crowned in starlight and silver, full of celestial magic, sisterly betrayal, and a girl who’s a little too stubborn to die quietly.

  • certified caffeine addict — usually found with an iced sweet tea in one hand and a cat (or three) in the other.

  • professional tbr curator — because what’s the point of a to-be-read list if it doesn’t physically threaten to crush you.

my vibe?

  • writing at midnight under fairy lights

  • bookshelves organized by “emotional damage level”

  • a wardrobe that’s 50% black, 50% cozy sweater

  • cat hair on literally everything

and when i’m not here?

i’m probably

  • re-watching south park (again)

  • wandering a bookstore like it’s a religious experience

  • trying to explain to my cats why they can’t eat my bookmarks

  • manifesting that one day my own book will sit on your shelf

what you’ll find here:

  • book reviews — brutally honest, occasionally unhinged, always spoiler-free (ish).

  • curated tbr lists — because i can’t stop adding books and you probably can’t either.

  • writing updates — sneak peeks, worldbuilding rambles, and meltdowns when the plot won’t cooperate.
