Meet About That Story

Welcome! I’m Gretchen, the one-woman show behind About That Story. I am a reader, romance book blogger, and reviewer. I’ve been blogging since June 2013. I read a variety of romance including contemporary, historical, paranormal, and suspense. All my reviews are spoiler-free.

Fun Facts: Enemies to lovers is one of my favorite tropes, I love a grumpy hero and a strong heroine. I also love when kids are in the mix. Sports and small-town romance are also favorites. In general, I enjoy all tropes but I don't like big age gaps or taboo reads. 


10 Things About Me

  • I’m one of those people who love Mondays (seriously! But Fridays are pretty fantastic too).
  • I’m also one of those people who is a total morning person.
  • I’m a huge fan of coffee (it’s probably what helps me be a morning person).
  • I have a coffee mug addiction. They’re cute, what can I say!
  • I think flavored Vodkas and Bacardis are amazeballs.
  • Popcorn is my favorite snack.
  • If I ever misplaced my Kindle for more than 12 hours I’d order a new one, no question. I’d be lost without it!
  • When I work, I listen to Pirates music (that is, the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtracks).
  • I have a serious addiction to Classic Rock (which is what I listen to when Pirates are on).
  • I like to workout (for real!).
