Thanks for being here and following me on this creative bookish journey. I hope we’ve gotten to know each other over on Bookstagram, but if we haven’t…yet…

Let’s officially meet!

Again, I’m Leah, book blogger and content creator. Fantasy story lover and book-to-screen obsessed. I actually read and love a lot of genres, but fantasy holds a very special place in my heart and is my top tier genre to read, rave, and retreat within.

Taking pictures and creating content to connect with and help others also brings me so much joy. I work directly with fantasy authors and publishers to craft and design branded bookish marketing content for Instagram. The dream!

I’ve always had a creative side and my bookstagram account became an outlet for not only reading, but creating as well. I spent almost 10 years in the corporate property industry before I left to pursue my creative aspirations fully.

That’s when my Bookstagram account was born!

Leah’s Little Pleasures is actually a play on the sentiment “life's little pleasures” because at the end of the day, I’m a pretty straightforward and simple person. I love to have fun. I love to laugh. I love home, my family, friends and pup. Plus the simple things and little pleasures in life. Books, content creation, and helping others pretty much sums that up!

Let’s see what else?

I’ve been a wife and dog mom for the better part of a decade. Riley is our 12 year old sweet and lovable lab / staffordshire terrier mix. Nate is my chef-inclined, golfer of a husband, 8 years strong, who is ever doting on me.

And no we, unfortunately, do not enjoy the same genre of books or other entertainment media (#thestruggleisreal), but sometimes our tastes do overlap. Give us a fantasy story sprinkled with real life aspects (Game of Thrones), an enticing thriller (Behind Her Eyes), a good true crime documentary or docuseries (we’ll watch almost any), a binge-worthy heist (Outer Banks), or something set in Charleston and both of us are there! If only this were true of books. Our only real overlap is *sometimes* thrillers and mysteries. But he’s still a catch in my book :)

I love astrology and all things related to being connected to the universe.

I grew up on Disney, Supernatural, the Lord of the Rings movies, Harry Potter and Gilmore Girls.

3 things that I’m obsessed with?

The Rings of Power and Haladriel.
Movie and TV soundtracks.
Having a story shock me so much, I can’t stop thinking about it for days.

I’m here for…

The homebody, cozy life and thriving at home, but love a good road trip to the beach, lake, or mountains and generally find the greatest inspiration and calmness in nature.

Walt Disney World is my home away from home.

I also love meeting and connecting with new people! And kindness is the name of the game.

Most days…

You can find me in my converted office slash reading room and library whipping up creative content for myself and others, reading, filming or taking bookish photos.

I love analyzing the books I read and finding creative ways to show the world and my bookish community if that book is (or isn’t!) for them.

When I’m not busy making content…

I’m likely out for a run, taking my pup for a walk, or somewhere outside enjoying nature and the scenery of our somewhat secluded backyard.

Otherwise, I’m probably snuggled up on the couch with my next fantasy read, cleaning my kitchen, talking to my book besties, or admiring my master chef husband as he expertly whips up our next homemade meal and cocktail we can have together.
