Below is my personal curated list of all of the resources that I check to learn about books that I might like to read. A major tip that I have is to let yourself fall down the internet rabbit hole.

Why I blog
I want to develop my writing skills and share what I am reading with the world. I primarily use my bookstagram (book-instagram) account to follow other readers and bloggers to see what they are reading and excited about. I am not a big poster myself. This is largely because I am not the creative type and I… Continue reading Why I blog
September 2019 Reading Recap
Waiting for Tom Hanks by Kerry WinstonA pretty standard rom-com. I am personally in love with Tom Hanks myself (go watch You've Got Mail) so I am pretty biased toward anything that idolizes him the way I do. The main character had a complex background and her venture into love is round-about but not in… Continue reading September 2019 Reading Recap
Mini-Review: A Sky Painted Gold by Laura Wood
A Sky Painted Gold by Laura Wood My book club picked this book for our August/September read. I remember that it was initially hard to find a physical copy. For someone reason, when I was googling the title of the book, trying to find a copy, I came across it being published by Scholastic. This made… Continue reading Mini-Review: A Sky Painted Gold by Laura Wood
June and July 2019 Reading Recap
It's been a minute since I posted on here. There was a lot of real-life stuff happening in June and July that made my reading life take a bit of a dive.

You can get lost in bullet journal theory online in about 5 minutes and, while I find it endlessly fascinating,… Continue reading May 2019 Reading Recap

Hand writing
I think that there is nothing more thoughtful in this world than a hand written note. I love the pens, the paper, stamps, putting love into every bit of it. I try to send hand written notes and cards for at least every other holiday. We weren't able to get any out in time for… Continue reading Hand writing

Thoughts on Becoming by Michelle Obama
I feel like this book should be required reading for people of color. Or women. Or, really, everyone. It's a story of finding yourself, of love, and loss, and politics. Chock full of wisdom, Michelle Obama is able to tell her life's story in words that brought me to tears numerous times. I grew up… Continue reading Thoughts on Becoming by Michelle Obama
