Hi!

I’m Karina, a 19 year old bibliophile from Philippines. I am taking Bachelor of Science in Economics at Polytechnic University of the Philippines. I am studying economic models and curves by day and reading books and devouring words by night. But you can mostly spot me procrastinating most of the day.

I started to become a reader when I was still a kid, probably when I was on grade school. For the countless books I’ve read since I began reading, it is really hard to tell which are my most favorites out of them all. But as of now, my favorite books are Looking For Alaska by John Green, A Court of Mist and Fury by SJ Maas, Red Queen series by Victoria Aveyard, The Illuminae Files by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristof, Harry Potter series by JK Rowling, and Melophobia by James Morris.

I read YA Fantasy, Sci-Fi and Dystopian a lot. But I also read Contemporaries and Poetry whenever I feel so. I love books about royalties where I can feel and imagine myself as a queen.

• The name of my blog Afire Pages was inspired by Ed Sheeran’s song Afire Love, one of my favorite songs back at the time when I created this.
