Welcome friend. Somehow, in this small corner of the internet, we meet. Me and you. Reader and Book Creep. Some might say it’s algorithms, but I say it’s kismet. The original universal algorithm.

Subverse Reads is a community of book lovers. This is a place to think deeply and be entertained. It is written by me, Natalie, Anxious Millennial. Reading for a living is difficult, so my day job is spreadsheets, passive-aggressive emails, and hand-holding. I love jeans I can actually sit in and my goal in life is to achieve the perfect liquid line. I don’t get high unless it’s on books. I love art of all kinds, but especially the kind I was raised on (library books, scary movies, and cable TV). I am especially fond of lit fic & classics, crime & horror, and the spooky & macabre. I don’t have human children yet, so I obsess over my two cats, Minnie & Rizzie. I have control issues. I also have a potty mouth.

As Lorelai Gilmore once said, I can be flexible. As long as everything is exactly the way I want it, I'm totally flexible.

what your club membership gets you

I send a free weekly Curator newsletter that contains curated book lists, recommendations, and reviews, whatever reading-related thing is going on in my brain that week + happenings in the book world, what I’ve been reading & watching, plus links to other good things on the internet.

I also write book-ish and personal essays for paying subscribers. This one is a personal fav I gave away for free. Note: if you are struggling financially in any way or are a fellow book/culture writer and want to swap subscriptions, send me a direct message or respond to any email.

I love to discuss - writing into the void can be SO boring - so always leave a comment if so compelled. Or connect with me on Instagram @thebookcreep - it’s way chill over there.

Join me in curating your moody [pop]cultured reading lifestyle.

Sound fun?

See you around the bookshelf!
