This is how it all started…

Art has always been my go-to method of escape ever since I was a little girl. Whether that be reading, writing, or painting, most of my hobbies were (and still are) art-adjacent. I decided to take a leap and start this blog to share my thoughts about the books I’ve loved (and hated) as well as random takeaways from my travels and experiences. I’ve been trying to venture more into different literary genres, but I mostly read contemporary romance, fantasy, and mystery novels.

Right now, I work a full-time job in tech, but have been left feeling like I’m not getting my creative fix lately. I have met so many people who have felt reading is inaccessible to them or just don’t know how to get started on their reading journey. My hope is for this blog to inspire readers at all levels to learn, grow, and explore the many things books have to offer.
