Welcome!

Hi! My name is Natalie. I’m an aspiring romance author and am currently working to earn my MFA in Popular Fiction and Publishing (which I generally refer to as creative writing) from Emerson College. I’ve always been a BIG reader- so much so that when I was a kid, my punishment for misbehaving was having my books taken away.

Since I love reading and writing so much, that is what this blog is going to be about. I have a bookstagram where I post about the books I read and love as well as my writing, and I plan to also share those thoughts here. It’s @nintiharwrites (super creative name here, I know!)

Anyways, this is my first post but I’ll be sharing lots of book reviews, recommendations, writing content, and more here. I’m so glad you’re here and I can’t wait to get to know you!

❤ Natalie

ARC Review: Enter the Villa by Anna Peele

Publication Date: May 19, 2026 As a longtime Love Island fan, Enter the Villa was fascinating. Hearing from production about the stereotypes of various characters on the show, how the show morphed over time, and how the show became the mega popular force it is today was incredibly interesting. It truly was a look behind…
