About The Clever Reader
My name is Sarah (she/her). I live in UT with my husband, two littles, dog Ronin, and cat Milo. I didn’t read much throughout my teen years but discovered a love of YA Novels when I picked up Twilight when taking a road trip. I was then transported into the arena with Katniss and Peeta in the Hunger Games, traveled between worlds in The Mortal Instruments, and was initiated into the factions of The Divergent. I visited the library and fell into the adventures with Percy, Annabeth, and Grover as they attended Camp Half-Blood, went on adventures in Seth and Kendra in Fablehaven, and discovered the Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel. I was hooked after that and began devouring all the books!
It only took one day of reading during the slow times at my day job to meet my bestie and Co-Founder of THE best book club in Salt Lake City, YA and Wine. I am a book reviewer and a confessed author event junkie. My first book event was Sarah J. Maas for the launch of Queen of Shadows in the fall of 2015. Since then I’ve met many amazing authors from Leigh Bardugo, Veronica Roth, Stephanie Garber, Renee Ahdieh, Madeline Miller, Lyla Sage, Sarah Adams, etc. If it weren’t for our local indie bookshop, The King’s English, I wouldn’t have made so many amazing bookish friends and attended so many memorable events.
I joined the moderators of the TBR Beyond Book Club on Facebook. It’s opened even more amazing bookish opportunities including taking ownership of the TBR Beyond Book Tours company and rebranding it to Toppling Stacks Tours in June 2025.
I wouldn’t trade this crazy life for anything.
