About the Romance BloggeR
My goodness, I hate doing the ‘about me’ section for anything! I’m Malia, a romance reader and book blogger. Or as I like to put it, simply just a wanderer desperately seeking happily ever afters. My days are filled with being a stay-at-home mom to my toddler and furry child. With the mister in the military, we’re constantly on the move and going on all sorts of adventures! There’s never a quiet moment in our lives, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Ezrah: I quite envy your constant moving! It’s an awesome way to see the world!

Where You Can Find Me
First Romance Book I Read
I want to say it was the Twilight series and that was during my sophomore/junior year of college. A girl that I worked alongside with was from Forks, Washington and being a Washingtonian myself, I was intrigued and devoured the series. I go and forth back on what started it all for me, but I’m pretty sure it was this series.
Ezrah: OMG! Forks has an interesting Twilight event with the whole town participating! Apparently the Twilight franchise saved the town! It was Screen Junkies on YouTube that did a video on it.
Favorite Romance Genre/s
Paranormal/fantasy and contemporary
Ezrah: I do love all of the above!

Favorite Thing About the Romance Community
Just the genuine conversations I have with everyone in this community, my DMs are always open, everyone 😉
Ezrah: I can attest to Malia’s open DMs! I’ve also had genuine convos with other romance readers and its’s glorious!
Romance Myth that You Hate
Ezrah: It’s very similar to “formulaic” because all the other genres aren’t. *sarcasm* This also drives me crazy!
It was fun having you here, Malia! Thank YOU!

Great picks Malia! And I totally agree about getting the “aren’t they all the same” speech and making me ragey. Hello! Do you people not watch Marvel movies? Those are formulaic too. Why is that formula okay?
Samantha recently posted…Down Too Deep by J Daniels: Excerpt!
Another blog for me to follow, lovely! I also hate hearing “they’re all so similar”. Ugh. Literally every other genre is encompassed inside romance and we still can’t catch a break! LOL
This was such a fun post, I had fun answering your questions! Thanks for having me 🙂
