~books & reading~

• “We read to know we are not alone.” – C.S. Lewis

• Whatever genre you like to read, fiction or nonfiction, classics, mysteries, or romance, the right book can take you on an adventure. Lately I’ve been listening to audiobooks or podcasts when I run, clean, shop, walk, workout, pretty much anything. I love being able to escape into stories no matter where I am or what I’m doing.

• I’m currently reading “Sense and Sensibility” by Jane Austin. My parents bought me a  beautiful copy of the physical book for my birthday from Barnes & Noble. I’ve been loving the book so far, & I feel smart reading Jane Austin’s words haha. I’ve been annotating my book as well to personalize & engage with it.

• I think it’s important to have a hobby like reading to spend time with ourselves & have a “getaway”. I always love to read outside or before bed & collect myself. I’ve noticed reading instead of going on my phone has improved my mental state. I encourage you to pick up a book & see if you notice positive changes. Or if you’re already reading I’d love to hear what book! 📚
