sharing the magic of the written word
Honeycomb Stories
Nice to meet you,
I'm Mattie
I was born and raised in Southern Utah and am a red dirt girl through and through. I love reading, exploring the outdoors, and spending time with my family.
​
My obsession with books began at a young age. I have always been fascinated by the ability of books to teach us and take us anywhere in the world and in time. My collection of books consists mostly of historical fiction, fantasy, and fairytale remakes. However, you can find a wide variety of genres on my bookcases.
​
I strongly disagree with the idea that "some people just don't like reading." You just need to find the right genre or author and you will be hooked, I promise.
Join me on my book adventures over on the blog, Goodreads, Instagram, Facebook, X, and Threads.
here are a few fun facts about me
let's be friends

My favorite food:
My heart loves Italian food. I will chose it every single time. I'm currently searching for an authentic Italian cook book so that I can learn to make all the yummy things.
If I could travel anywhere in the world where would I go:
I would love to take my camera and spend a few months traveling across Europe. My heart longs to see all of the art museums, historic buildings, ruins, and abandoned buildings.
