Hi, I’m Paige.

Nice to meet you.

Hey there! I’m Paige, the voice behind Paige’s Pages. I’m a lifelong lover of stories in all forms, whether I’m curled up with a juicy thriller, crafting a cozy world in The Sims, or stepping into character on set. Books, stories, and a sprinkle of life’s chaos—that’s what this blog is all about.

I spent six years as a teacher, sharing my love of reading with my students and watching them fall for stories that felt just as magical to me. While I’ve since traded my classroom for creative adventures, my love for books has never faded. This blog is my corner of the internet to talk about books, life, and everything in between—a space to move away from the polished, fleeting moments of social media and dive into something more personal and real.

When I’m not reading or blogging, I’m probably on set as a commercial actress. I love the energy of creating quick, impactful stories in front of the camera, but even more, I love how this career gives me the time to spend with my two amazing kids (and sneak in a few extra chapters of whatever I’m reading). I’ve also dipped my toes into feature and short films, but commercials remain my sweet spot.

Speaking of storytelling, let me introduce my other obsession—The Sims. I’ve been playing since I was about eight years old (yes, I’m an OG Simmer), and it’s still one of my favorite ways to create characters, build worlds, and let my imagination run wild. It’s like living in a sandbox of stories, and I’ll never get enough of it.

Now, let’s talk books. My shelves are a mix of mysteries, thrillers, and lighthearted reads—because who doesn’t need a palate cleanser after a nail-biting twist? I’m drawn to character-rich novels and fully built worlds that make me feel like I’m living in the story. And while 11/22/63 by Stephen King cemented my love of immersive world-building as an adult, my reading journey really started with Harry Potter, the series that hooked me for life.

Beyond books, I’m an early riser who believes the early bird gets the worm (or at least a few quiet moments with coffee). I’m also a gym enthusiast and firm believer in finding balance between work, creativity, and life’s beautiful chaos.

At Paige’s Pages, my goal is simple: to help you find your next great read, dive deeper into books you’ve loved, and create a cozy space where we can chat about stories, life, and everything in between. Whether you’re a fellow thriller junkie, a busy mom looking for escapism, or someone who just loves a heartfelt conversation, you’re in the right place.

So, grab your favorite drink, settle in, and let’s talk stories—whether they’re on the page, in a game, or just a part of life.

Bits About Me: A Bookish Q&A

Favorite Novel:
11/22/63 by Stephen King. This book pulled me into an unforgettable world and showed me what truly immersive storytelling looks like. I felt like I was there.

Morning Mantra:
“The early bird gets the worm.” I’m that person who actually loves waking up early, crushing a gym session, and feeling like I’ve conquered the day before 9 AM.

What Book Got Me Hooked on Reading?
Easy—Harry Potter! It’s where it all began. But as an adult, 11/22/63 cemented my love for rich characters and world-building.

Childhood Hobby That Never Faded:
The Sims. I’ve been creating chaotic stories and perfect little worlds since I was about eight years old. Honestly, I’m an OG Simmer.

Go-To Genres:
Mystery and thriller all day, but throw in a cozy or lighthearted read when I need a break from the suspense. If it has great characters and a fully built world, I’m in.

Favorite Part of Being a Commercial Actress:
I love being surrounded by creative people who can tell a story in seconds. It’s inspiring to see how much emotion and meaning can be packed into a moment. Plus, this career gives me time to hang out with my kids and read even more!

What’s My Ideal Reading Setup?
Give me a cup of coffee, my heated blanket, and a rainy/snow day and I am set.

Why I Started Blogging:
I was tired of social media and wanted a space that felt real—just me, books, and life. Paige’s Pages is my little corner of the internet to chat about juicy thrillers, heartfelt novels, and everything in between.

Random Bookish Hot Take:
If I don’t like the protagonist, it’s game over. Give me someone I can root for (or at least love to hate), or I’m out.
