Natalia

Natalia (she/they) used to sell books at The American Book Center. She was the buyer for the Fiction and Romance section in our Amsterdam store.

She’s still an avid reader of mostly speculative fiction, young adult and contemporary romance novels; especially if they’re LGBTQIA+ – themed. 

Besides having her nose in a book, she loves to cook, watch movies, learn a new language, or practice a hip-hop routine. She loves reading because books are a source of inspiration, recognition, and escapism for her; giving her the ability to travel through worlds far different from her own.
