About Us

Welcome! Our names are Amie, Meilun, Sarah, and Tonia, and we are four teenage friends who decided to start a book blog during the summer of 2020! READefineToday is a blog aimed at teens to get rid of the stigma that comes with reading, and to make reading more relevant and accessible to teenagers. ​

The four of us actually became friends over a book club. Our goal is to inspire others to read through our love of literature. Here, you will find reviews of books we love (and books we don't love so much), lists of books to read, and many other bookish things.

 

READefineToday is a teen book blog made by teens for teens, and we aspire to make authentic content that other youth are able to connect with.

Keep scrolling to get to know us better!

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us! 

Happy reading!

About Amie

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn the more places you'll go." - Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Places You'll Go!

     Hi all! My name is Amie and literature has taught me many things that make me wise beyond my age (just kidding (^.~)☆! Just a little smarter than the other young people of my time). I'm introverted and don't talk much, because all the words happen in my head. Although I'm quiet, my personality is quite loud (and fabulous, *flips hair*). ┐( ̄∀ ̄)┌   .I am new to blogging and very open to constructive criticism, so feel free to comment. I'm flexible and open minded, and will chase you if you hurt the people I love. It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt, so please be mindful of what you say (online and in person). 

Just some fun facts about me: 

  • I LOVE Korean Dramas, Chinese Dramas, Novels, Webcomics & Movies  ♡\( ̄▽ ̄)/♡ 

  • I am a K-pop Fan ( (ノ´ з `)ノ BTS are Kings )

  • I am pretty quiet, and I only voice about 60% of my thoughts (unless we are fan-girling / fan-boying / fan-humaning about a common interest) 

  • I REALLY like eating and enjoying good food, which made me to get into cooking and baking (っ˘ڡ˘ς)

  • I have a late birthday 

  • YA / Teen Fiction Fantasy was what got me really into reading, and my favorite book series and most read, is Darkest Powers x Darkness Rising, cross-over trilogy series by Kelley Armstrong

  • I'm also really into mystery and paranormal fiction (because of the Darkest Powers x Darkness Rising) --> Read my review on The Summoning, first installment of Darkest Powers Trilogy

  • I am a PASSIONATE shipper; I invest a lot of time shipping, matchmaking and caring about the romantic relationship between fictional characters  _(:3 」∠)_

  • I'm an (over)thinker and sometimes a worrier 

  • I have many aspects to my personality (persona?), I am very different person depending on which lens you view me through

 

Thanks for checking out our blog! Just Enjoy the little things in life and embrace your inner fabulous ~

About Meilun

Founder and Social Media Manager

"To the stars who listen and the dreams that are answered"- Sarah J Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury

Hello Readers!

My name is Meilun Yu, and I am a YA and poetry enthusiast. I am currently 14 years old and attending grade 9. 

I am a young writer who works on mainly poetry, songs and short stories. I really encourage teens who love to read to start writing, as reading is what leads most writers to writing. If you have any questions about creative writing and the process, feel free to message us, as I love to help other writers on their path. As well, I'm a very outgoing and extroverted person. I love talking to new people with similar interests, so if you have any questions about me or my team feel free to shoot us a email.

 

Here's a lil more about me:

- I love to sing and play guitar

- I like country, pop, folk and jazz music

- I go by a seefood diet. Any food I see, I eat

- I kickbox in my free time (ง •̀_•́)ง

- Currently bingeing The Witcher (the books are still better)

- I love fantasy books the most

- Favourite authors either George RR Martin or Sarah J Maas (KWEENS)

- If you read books from any of the above authors, feel free to message me so we can fangirl together <3

About Sarah

"I am thankful for all those difficult people in my life, they have shown me exactly what I don't want to be"

Hi there! I'm Sarah, and I'm a huge fan of shojo manga, music, and cute miniatures. Although I read mostly manga, that doesn't mean I'm not in love with novels and other genres! Of course, I'm without a doubt here as a novice blogger, exploring and experimenting with the world of blogging. I'm pretty quiet and introverted around people whom I don't know well, but I'm the loudest when it comes to my friends! So please be respectful when you comment, as I'm quite unresponsive (and sensitive) toward destructive criticisms that hurt me and my buddies. 

A little more about me:

  • I'm a big K-pop fan, especially when it comes to Blackpink and BTS (Blink and Army ~_- )

  • Watch a ton of K-dramas, C-dramas, J-dramas, and anime (mainly romance~ and sometimes thriller)

  • REALLY into crime fiction, murder mystery, and detective stories (even though I get freaked afterward)

  • I'm all crazy about food and would do anything for it; chocolate-flavored drinks are my favorites!

  • I want to become a musician or a doctor (or the person who finds a cure to COVID-19; just kidding~ 

  • My sister and I adopted a really cute kitten ᕙ(^▿^-ᕙ) only 4-month old

  • I love to learn new languages! although I'm not very good at it and make mistakes all the time

  • Interested in interior design and plants; I love lavender and cactus!

 

Remember to love yourself and always smile! Enjoy the rest of your day!
