About Kayla
I'm a 27-year-old living in Houston, Texas. I love reading, spending way too much time sleeping, and watching too much HGTV.
I finally decided to start a book blog after months of thinking it over, back in October 2017. I wanted to become more involved in the book community, and I'm glad I took the leap. Books and Blends is where I share book reviews — spanning contemporary romance, historical romance, reverse harem, cowboy romance, young adult, new adult, manga, and fantasy — alongside wine recommendations for fellow red-wine lovers.
Other Things I Like
- Red wine — especially red blends and merlots
- K-pop and K-dramas
- Shojo manga and anime
- Pinterest scrolling
- HGTV marathons
I love to talk, not only about books. So if you want, start a conversation with me!
For Kayla, pairing a good book with the right glass of red wine is more than a pastime — it is a small ritual that makes reading feel complete. Whether she is sinking into a steamy contemporary romance or getting lost in a fantasy world, there is something about the way a bold red blend mirrors the tension and release of a well-told story. Her reviews try to capture that connection, offering readers not just a sense of whether a book delivers on its promises, but also a suggestion for what might taste good alongside it. It keeps the blog feeling personal, like swapping recommendations with a friend who knows your taste in both genres and grapes.
