about

Hi, everyone! I’m Anexis and my pronouns are they/them. Nice to meet you! I’m a blind college student majoring in english with a concentration in creative writing. I’m a content creator who began on YouTube with the channel Videl Blind-The Blind Reader. I now currently run the channel Anexis Matos and no longer post on my old one. I started blogging to share my writing. I’ve always enjoyed stories. I started writing when I was between the ages of 10 and 12. My stories started out as Dragon Ball fanfiction which will never see the light of day because I deleted them. Now, I write original stories that I hope to share at some point. My aim with this blog is simply to share my thoughts on whatever interests me. From reviews to blindness, you’ll see it here.

  • The Rightful Bride Chapter 1

    Single ladies, get excited! We have very good news from the palace. For years, we’ve wondered if the king would marry. Of course, marriage is not necessary to have a queen, but everyone enjoys a wedding. Everyone especially enjoys a royal wedding. Our last wedding was years ago when our queen, now princess, was married.…

  • Nine Perfect Strangers by Lianne Moriarty: I Did Not See That Coming

    I wasn’t looking for this book. I searched the NLS Bard web site’s most popular books section and I saw the title. I don’t remember if I read the synopsis or not. I only remember putting it on my wishlist. Synopsis Nine people attend a health resort. Everything seems perfect… until it’s not. Book Information…

  • Arch-Conspirator by Veronica Roth: It Needed More

    I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started this book. I got excited when I looked into Poster Girl and this came up, but I think I expected a lot more than what I got. Synopsis This is a science fiction reimagining of Antigone. Book Information Genre: Science fictionCategory: AdultExplicit violence: NoExplicit sex: NoContent…

  • Triptych: Psycho Mom and Nostalgia to the Max

    I was talking on the phone with a friend and we decided it might be fun to browse Netflix for soap operas. I found this series and the description grabbed my interest immediately. It also helps that an actress I really like plays the leading role. Synopsis In a hostage situation, Rebeca meets a woman…

  • The American Roommate Experiment by Elena Armas: A Lot of Improvement

    I have some history with Elena Armas. I didn’t enjoy their debut novel, The Spanish Love Deception. It was a terrible book and, while I understand why it’s popular, I’ve read better romance. However, their writing is good and so is the concept for The Spanish Love Deception, so I wanted to give them another…

  • Audio Description of Love Is Blind

    We’re back with the Lacheys. I know. Too short a break. I’m sorry. It just happens to be the next thing I finished. I’ve been watching Love Is Blind since the beginning. It was my introduction to reality TV. For that alone, it holds a special place for me. It got me into easily digestible…

  • My Sister, The Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite: No Satisfying Ending, But It Works

    This book and I have some history. I read it a few years ago when it was brought to my attention by Bookshare, an accessible online library for people with reading barriers. They emailed me about their book club and, for that month, this was the book. To learn more about Bookshare, check out their…

  • Audio Description of Money Shot: The Story of Pornhub

    Out of all the audio descriptions I’ve critiqued so far, this one made me consider something I never thought about. I really should have, considering this is visual media. I think it slipped my mind because I don’t usually consume this kind of content. It’s not engaging enough for me. For those unaware, audio description…

  • Castles in Their Bones by Laura Sebastian: The First Step Is Marriage

    I’ve only reviewed one book by Laura Sebastian, but I’ve read all their work. I’ve enjoyed everything I read. My favorite is Half Sick of Shadows, a reimagining of the King Arthur story. If you want to see my review for Into the Glades, check it out here. Into the Glades by Laura Sebastian: Magical…

  • Audio Description of The Ultimatum: Marry Or Move On

    Two weeks ago, I critiqued the audio description of Perfect Match. I decided to stick with the Lacheys again for this and torture myself by watching The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On. Yes, I enjoy trash TV, but, honestly, I would have preferred to watch this without audio description. It would have been more bearable.…
