Literature · Cinema · Reading Culture
I’m Mariana Reis. I live in Curitiba, Brazil, and I’m in the final year of my degree in English Language and Literature.
I have been studying English since 2009 and have been working as an English teacher since 2021, teaching Brazilian students at different levels and with diverse learning experiences. Alongside teaching, I create literary content and digital tools for readers seeking a more personal, intentional relationship with books.
Mariana Reads started as a small personal project and slowly turned into a community of readers from different corners of the world. Today I share writer rivalries, letters, literary history, film references, and my own thoughts on reading with thousands of people online.
What I try to bring online is the kind of conversation that makes you want to open the book again: a line from an old letter, a feud between two writers, the film that changed how you see a character.

Start building your own library today.
Notion is where I keep almost everything: readings, notes, projects. Alongside my digital products, I also offer personalised Notion consulting and system development.
Rather than creating generic systems, my goal is to build spaces that genuinely make sense for the way you work, study, organise ideas, or manage projects.
Mariana Reads is my corner of the internet for literature, cinema, and reading culture. I’m an English Literature student, and most of what I post starts in my own annotations: a letter between two writers, an old rivalry, a film adaptation that got a character right (or completely wrong).
I don’t make content around trends alone. I like videos that leave people curious enough to look something up, argue in the comments, or pick up the book again.
I also build tools for readers — like The Reading Archive, the Notion system I made out of years of reading, annotating, and researching during my degree.
30 days after the product is with me, for books I haven’t read yet.
15 days after the product is with me, if I have already read it.
Videos of up to 90 seconds.
My videos follow the formats people watch today, but they are built on research and source material: literary history, writer rivalries, letters, cinema. People comment, disagree, share, and come back.
I don’t do purely promotional content. When a product appears in my videos, it is part of a story or of my routine, the way anything else in my life would be.
My literary content has reached millions of views organically, with a growing international audience. If your brand belongs in a reading nook — stationery, candles, pens and inks, a good cup of tea, a device to read on — it will fit here naturally.
A Notion system of your own, a brand collaboration, or a question about The Reading Archive — write to me and I’ll get back to you by email.
