About Me

Hi, I’m Alexandra, I live in Québec City, Canada, with my long time partner, a library-sized collection of books, and an unhealthy amount of toys. I love to read genre fiction, watch scifi and murder-mystery TV shows, and generally moan about the weather.

You can also find me on: Hardcover
