Reading is both a pleasure, a path of discovery, an inspiration and honestly, sometimes I feel guilt that I’m wasting time watching TV or scrolling the internet when I could be reading. I guess that is because I value reading a book (in any form) over those other ways that can occupy my time. Sometimes, I wish I read more widely or more deeply or more scholarly though I know that all the trashy (I say this with love) romances and popular fiction I read is the comfort I need in the moment. I’m most excited by books that inspire my own creative brain, challenge me to think about something long after the book has been set aside or uplift my spirit through good storytelling. Here I will collect musings on what i’ve read.
