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.

  • Fairy Tale by Stephen King: I Found a New Favorite Book!

    Fairy Tale is the second book I read by Stephen King. I have an entirely different experience with this book than Sleeping Beauties. If you’d like to see my review of Sleeping Beauties, check it out below. I recommend that you read it before continuing this one. That way, you can compare my two different…

  • Audio Description of Queen Cleopatra

    Netflix notified me about this series. I was already planning to watch it when I saw the title, but, when I saw the trailer, I knew I would be watching it the day of release. Because this is a drama documentary revolving around historical events, I was very curious how the audio description would be.…

  • Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher: Three Tasks to Kill the Prince

    I heard about this book through the podcast Unresolved Textual Tension. Check out their review below. The first time I saw the review, I didn’t finish it. I decided it would be better to read the book first, so I recommended it for Envision’s College Success Program’s book club. It was the selection for March,…

  • Audio Description of The Mole

    When I watched Perfect Match, a bunch of different reality shows was mentioned. This one was one of them. It was the only one I was interested in watching based on the premise. For those unaware, audio description is a separate audio track added to visual media that describes visual aspects. This is mainly intended…

  • Circe by Madeline Miller: Giving Voice to the Unheard

    I believe I read this book during the pandemic for the first time. I remember it being very popular then, but I didn’t like it. I read the entire book, but it wasn’t a great experience. I reread Circe for class this time. I had an entirely different experience. My rating even changed. Synopsis This…

  • 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…
