  • Tell me about your bookish new year resolutions.

    This year I’m striving to read 10 non-fiction books. It’s easy to gravitate to fiction for me as an escape and to turn my brain off. I’ve gotten into a reading slump from engaging with too much mid fiction so I’m hoping a new genre switch will get me more excited about reading.

    I’m open to your most life-changing NF recommendations! I’ve joined the “tiny but mighty nonfiction” quest but would loooooove any more to add to my TBR.

    Happy reading and to a great year!

  • Whats your reading origin story? 📚✨️

    How did you get into reading? I know maybe a simple question, but I got into reading because of my Godmother, she was a librarian for a school board and always gifted me books for Christmas and birthdays growing up. They would always be different genres and always something i would never choose myself. This made me really appreciate stepping outside your comfort zone to find something you may like (or may not like lol). Last year, we decided to share a read together and again it was something I likely would have not picked up myself, but I was left with that feeling of appreciation for stepping outside your comfort zone and nostalgia for the old traditions manifesting itself in different ways.

    So how does your story go? Have you been a reader since before you can remember? Was there a teacher or loved one that showed you the joys of reading? Or did you stumble upon reading later on in life?

    Tell me, I'm nosy!!

    First picked this up in November 2020 and really only got a couple pages in but the movie had just released at the time and there was alot of hype surrounding it. Gave it another shot since the movie is enjoyable and its my go-to fly movie (anyone else?), however the writing and dialogue didnt fit my taste. Characters were entertaining in the over-the-top/reality show kind of way.
