About Me
Hey hi hello, friends! 🖤
If you’re new here - I’m Rune, but a lot of people know me from work as El.Pronouns: they/them
I’m non-binary, pansexual, and demi-sexual.I live with my Sir and my pup way up in northern Alberta (for now), and I spend most of my time working, reading, yelling about books, and finding the absolute best deals/freebies on books whenever possible.I’m neurospicy, chronically ill, enduring daily chronic pain, and disabled, which means life isn’t easy. I work from home and put a lot of my energy into books and this space specifically. 🖤I’ve read energy always. I’ve been a practicing pagan for over 20 years. I’ve been told that forest-meets-whimsigoth is my vibe. I love anything dark + moody + colourful, and I’m basically just a fae in the modern human world and a body that betrays me at times (okay, most of the time).I read a bit of everything in spicy adult romance. Romantasy, paranormal, monster, omegaverse, dark romance, contemporary romance, mafia, taboo, why-choose… and more.Only real nopes: YA, unaliving of a love interest or best friend on page by su!c!de (nøøses) and anything made with genAI.
Tropes I can’t resist: one bed, forced proximity, denial of attraction, fated mates, banter… gimme all the pain and tension, please.Some random things about me:
– Autumn is my fave season 🍂
– I’m covered in tattoos
– axolotls, ducks, and wolves have my heart
– I will rewatch Gilmore Girls, HIMYM, and Brooklyn 99 forever
– I listen to Rainbow Kitten Surprise on repeat but I’m #polyjamourous
– I read on literally anything (Kindle, Kobo, phone, physical books, whatever works)When I’m not reading, I’m usually gaming, crafting, napping, working, having a rave in my house, or outside pretending I’m in a fantasy novel (aka touching grass, no really).I’m an ARC reader + ALC listener and I love hyping books and authors, especially indie ones.If you’re an author or creator and think we’d vibe, my DMs (or email) are open. 🖤 And if you’re here to hang out, rave about books, or enable my ever-growing TBR problem… welcome, you’re in the right place!Note: If you are looking for author services, please head to readingreaper.com
