The librarian who reads the reviews and writes her own love stories.

Hi, I'm Aleia — romance reader, author, and head librarian of this corner of the internet. I started Aleia's Library because I wanted more people to talk about the romances I love. When I'm not busy penning my own stories, I'm falling in love with the heroes and heroines that find their way to my shelves.

Every week I'm in your inbox with fresh recs, release roundups, and the kind of honest takes that make your TBR pile dangerously tall. You've been warned.

Stocked shelves. Zero filler.

Diverse romance reviews from a reader who finishes the book and turns it into her personality. Release roundups so your pre-order list and TBR are long enough to wrap around planet Earth (twice). Positive reviews. Just really good books and the people who love them.
