I'm Athina, 29 years old, originally from The Netherlands but living most of my days on a sunny Greek island. I wans't always a big reader, but everything changed after I picked up the After series by Ana Todd in 2020. I got hooked and fell deep down the bookwrom rabbit hole. Thanks to Booktok, I discovered een more must-reads and connected with amazing fellow readers, and, well.. let's just says things spiraled from there, lol.

In 2023, I turned my passion into something bigger by starting my own bookish shop, offering high-quality book merch that I knew fellow bookworms would love. Since so many shops are based in the US, I wanted to create something a little closer to home for European fans like me! As a female-owned, Greece-based small business, I’m thrilled to give book lovers in Europe and beyond a place to find licensed book merch that feels like home.

What do I read mostly? Definitely dark romance and sports romance, but I’ve recently been sucked into romantasy, too—thank you, Zodiac Academy!
