Entertaining nearly 75,000 book-loving followers can be daunting, but Kirstie has already mastered the formula. Currently residing in Canada, she exudes a fun and inviting energy in her videos, reviews, and minimalist and eye-catching images.
Kirstie loves spicy romance novels. She rated Trilina Pucci’s Tangled in Tinsel 4.5 stars out of 5 overall and 3.5 stars on the spiciness scale.
