Reading.is.your.destiny

👋

📖Hello friends! It’s been a while since I’ve posted my face on the grid, but @ladyalireadsalot took this fun picture of me on Saturday and I thought it would be the perfect time to share a little about how I got into #reading and #bookstagram

📖I never read much for fun until Jan 2021. Prior to 2021, I read maybe a couple books a year and could not stand #audiobooks (because all I had really experienced were my husband’s STAR WARS audiobooks secondhand) 😂

📖In 2020, my younger sister read 60 books and just because I felt like being competitive, I decided to try and beat her 😂 I made a @goodreads account, which really motivated me initially to set a goal and stick to it throughout the year!

🎧I started reading books based on what my IRL friends were liking on #goodreads and kept adding to my #tbr (and never stopped). Once I discovered a love for audiobooks, everything changed!

📖I got a new #librarycard, joined @libbyapp and @hoopladigital and from then on was never not reading something!

📖In the summer of 2021 I made a bookstagram account to track my reading, but never imagined how much fun it would be! I never expected to make real friends, read books prior to release, DM with famous authors, start a IRL #bookclub, etc. I am so grateful every day for all the ways this little book account has added fun and joy (and lots of books) to my real life!

📖If you’re on the fence about making a bookstagram, just do it! Read what you love and share what you think and just have fun!
