    What makes me want to recommend a book? For me, a book has to grab my attention and keep it. I want to get lost in the storyline, transported to another time and place. I want to feel like I’m right there, sitting on the sidelines, watching the story unfold. When a book does that,…

    Welcome to October. This is the time of year where everything starts to slow down just a little. The evenings get darker, the air feels cooler, and for me, it’s when reading becomes part of my routine again in a more intentional way. I’m not rushing through books right now. I’m choosing them more carefully.…

    I didn’t expect writing to feel this hard again. I think part of me thought I would just pick it back up and fall into it the way I used to. That the words would come easily, and I’d feel confident in what I was putting down. That hasn’t really been the case. Some days…

    Welcome to September! There’s something about this time of year that always feels like a reset. The routines come back, the air shifts, and for me, it’s when I start finding my way back to both reading and writing in a more intentional way. This month feels a little different though.

    Hello Friends, I thought I’d send a quick mid-month note. Not a newsletter. Just a little check-in from my reading chair. Lately, I’ve been thinking about how books tend to find us when we need them most. Not because they’re trending. Not because they’re on a bestseller list. But because something about them speaks to…

    Hello Fellow Readers, June always feels like a month of possibility. The days are longer, the weather is warmer, and suddenly reading feels a little different. Books find their way onto patios, into beach bags, and onto lawn chairs. There seems to be more room to slow down and enjoy a story. This month, I’ve…

    There are so many books out there and sometimes that’s exactly the problem. I’ve had moments where I’ve sat there scrolling through recommendations, saving lists, opening tabs and still not knowing what to read next. It starts to feel less like something enjoyable and more like something you have to figure out. Over time, I’ve…

    Hi there, This month, I wanted to do something a little different. Instead of sharing the same books you’re probably seeing everywhere, I started paying attention to the ones that aren’t always front and centre but are just as meaningful. The kind of books you come across more quietly and once you read them, they…
