Super passionate about books, history, anthropology, and everything 🪴 organic, I spend lots of my time researching, sunning, and discovering. RiaReadsBooks was birthed from my experiences in the public school system in underserved neighborhoods. I'm here to not only make you think but bring smiles 😊 to middle-grade and YA kids' hearts.
