Welcome to Momma Leighellens book nook!
Hey there!
My name is Leighellen. I'm a cow kissing, weight lifting, book lover + literary lifestyle guru out of Crawford, TX. My favorite genres are historical fiction, literary fiction, YA fantasy, and inspirational memoirs. I am drawn to coming of age stories, family dramas, and anything with octogenarians!
I'm on IG at Momma Leighellen's Book Nook sharing reviews, giveaways, products, and author chats. On BOOKTUBE I share author interviews, bookclub discussions, and month end favs. Online I co-host Book Friends Book Club, a monthly historical fiction group. Reviews are posted to Goodreads and/or my blog. Stay tuned to learn more about booking weekend reading retreats on our ranch!
If you would like to work with me, please send me an email with a proposal and details of your product. I will follow up with my Media Kit and rates. I am happy to use my platform to share bookish + home products that fit my brand. My fees are based on content request. Applicable items may include clothing, candles, housewares, snacks, coffee, furniture, and any other literary lifestyle items.
fun facts about me!
I always take notes while reading. I like to tab & highlight favorite quotes and passages. It helps me come up with what to say when writing reviews.
I love ALL THINGS BOOKISH! This means tee-shirts, booksleeves, coffee mugs, candles, lotions, pillows, booklamps, bookmarks - if it improves my reading experience or has anything to do with books, I'm IN!
I am a sports fanatic! We lived in Colorado for 14 years so I'm a huge Avs fan. We also have season tickets to the Baylor Football + Basketball games.
I'm OTF obsessed ! I love all things Orange Theory. The workouts, the trainers, the friendships. It's the best!! When I'm not in the gym, I'm running trails with my dog. If I don't run, I get grouchy, so look out!
I love surrounding myself in books! I typically read a book a day. I don't watch TV so I spend all my down time reading. I'm also a really fast reader!
When I listen to audiobooks, it's often at 2.5 speed!
My man is my rock. We met at church and he's been saving me ever since! We couldn't be more different - he's a classic type A and I'm a crazy creative. But we love to hike and bike and play cribbage and raise our kooky crew.
Reading is my jam. I read every night, which means sometimes I plow through several books a week. Teen drama? Vampires? Knights & Lords? Yes please.
I'm a TOTAL mood reader and I LOVE Audiobooks! I never read one book
at a time!
