I’m Mariah! I am a lifelong reader, book annotator, and story chaser. I started Wondered Pages as a cozy corner to collect the stories that linger long after the last page. I love books that crack your heart open, characters who feel like friends (or enemies I secretly root for), and prose that makes me pause and reread.

You’ll find a little of everything here, but my shelves lean toward:

• Fantasy (dark, romantic, or wildly magical)
• Contemporary & Literary Fiction
• Thrillers with emotional depth
• Romance (especially slow burn, angsty, or speculative)
• Historical fiction that haunts you a little

When I’m not reading, I’m overthinking endings, journaling with too many tabs open, or planning my next trip to a bookstore. I hope this blog feels like a soft place to land for readers who love to wonder.
