Why I Love Reading

Finding My Way Back to the Page

I’ve loved stories since I was a little girl, back when the adventures of The Boxcar Children and the magic of Charlotte’s Web were the highlights of my day. Somewhere between high school exams and “required reading,” that spark faded—but it never truly went out.

In the quiet (and not-so-quiet) moments of the last few years, I picked that “little hobby” back up and it quickly turned into a full-blown obsession. As a mom, reading is my sanctuary. It’s how I decompress after a long day of hearing my name called 100 times or watching the same cartoon on a loop. It’s my “me time,” but it’s also something beautiful I get to share with my son as we explore new genres and local bookstores together.

I’m so glad you’re here. Whether you’re a lifelong bibliophile or looking to rediscover your own love for books, I have plenty of recommendations to get you started. Let’s find your next favorite story together!
