Welcome to the Quirky Spine, a blog for readers, writers, and thinkers.
Who’s Behind the Curtain?
This blog is a labor of love for Galena the Poet. A voracious reader since childhood, she enjoys reading, talking, and buying (more like hoarding) books. Her interests are wide — cozy mysteries, dark mysteries, psychological thrillers, horror, fantasy, romance, and more.
When not working a day job, you can find Galena wrapped up in a book. Her favorite reading spot is the comfy chair by the window, scents of cinnamon, pine, and citrus surrounding her, with a cozy hand crocheted (not by her) blanket on her lap. Her frenemy cat, Thunder God, sometimes joins her on her lap (usually b/c it’s time for food).
