About Alaina

Alaina is a woman in her mid-twenties, and has never categorized herself as such before now.  Excuse her while she pours herself a strong one to mask the pain of growing old.

She has been reading since her third year, and doesn’t see herself stopping anytime soon.  She enjoys most genres: literature (classic and modern) and mysteries are her favorites, and any book that can make her fall off the couch in laughter moves up the list quickly.  She reads romance novels when she needs to give her brain a break, and favors those of the historical persuasion.  She keeps trying to get into pulp for the same reason, but hasn’t quite gotten to that section of her to-be-read pile yet.

As you have probably guessed, Alaina is also rather fond of speaking of herself in the third person. 

By day, she is lower-level management at a local-yet-internationally-known retailer.  By night, she fights crime and whips up pastries that put Betty Crocker to shame.  Also, she writes a lot, though she never seems able to complete any of her many works in progress.

As for why this weblog is titled “That’s What She Read”?  Well … let’s let xkcd explain:

If you like Alaina’s reviews of her books, you’ll most likely love (and also be horrified by) her theories and reviews of Movies Alaina’s Never Seen, over on Movies Alaina’s Never Seen.
