About

Insert proof of my earliest attempts at reading; according to my parents, my eyes were going left to right while reviewing the Sunday comics.

Officially I’ve been reading since the age of five … therefore, I’m currently entering my fifth decade of being a bookworm. That’s a lot of books, many that I’ve tracked, and many that I haven’t.

While I’ve utilized Goodreads to track my reading since 2010 (and kept a list for several years prior), I only delved into the world of Bookstagram in early 2025. This blog became a thought later in that year but it was early 2026 before I sat down and started putting together what you see here.

Reading factoids

• Been a diehard bookworm since the age of five
• Rotate between reading print, e-book, & audiobooks
• Mostly read romance/romcoms, historical fiction, mysteries/thrillers, & some non-fiction
• Have always disliked writing book reviews/reports! That said, what you’ll see here is my thoughts on the book. I don’t recap the synopsis nor do I delve in depth analyzing everything. 
• Audiobooks have been part of the rotation since 2020
• Have been an ARC reader via NetGalley since late January 2025
