I hope to utilize this site to bring light to all those wonders, bring attention to those amazing authors and literary scholars, aka people who love stories!

About Me
I have always been a reader, but it was during the COVID pandemic and quarantine I took that passion to Social Media.
Through my platforms, I have met some amazing book lovers, started my own podcast with an amazing friend, and have really fell back in love with reading.
Who knew taking photos of books could be so much fun?? Enjoy some of my favorites things about the literary world on this site.
