I’m so excited to be here and share all things books and (maybe) other things! Thank you so much for joining me, I hope you find something you like and *big picture* help grow a community! I’d love to hear what you’re reading and enjoying too.
I’ve wanted to get into writing for such a long time now. I’m looking forward to sharing all the amazing things I’ve read, new discoveries and just having a place to be able to waffle on about books I’m about.
Each month I hope to share with you 3-5 books I’ve loved, sometimes based around a certain theme. If you’re looking for your next read then I’m sure you will find inspiration here (no Colleen Hoover over here I’m afraid) I read across multiple genre however it will be mainly contemporary and commercial fiction. I’d like to eventually start my own book club and read alongs, which would be a great chance to be able to discuss together thoughts and ideas revolving around the books chosen.
When the inspiration strikes I’d love to write some micro posts too probably talking about certain books/authors and maybe talking about motherhood, style/fashion but all in good time!
For anyone who doesn’t know me let me do a small introduction.
I’m Emma (she/her), a thirty something fashion designer. I love reading, writing, eating out and hiking. Over the last year I became a mum which has been the most humbling, exciting and exhausting journey I’ve ever been on. Other than reading I love being creative whether that’s writing, sewing or drawing I find lots of ways to stay busy and inspired.
Reading is such a big part of what makes me ME. I’m a passionate reader who just wants to talk about my latest book and hear what other people are reading too. I love finding recommendations and discovering new authors and books myself. After years of insomnia getting lost in a book has made me feel a little less stressed, having a baby that also is yet to sleep through the night has helped me continue my reading journey.
Finally each month I’d love to start a bookclub and read-a-long so I will post about this too, I will figure how we are to discuss this together (any suggestions welcome). Until then I will let you know the chosen book, my thoughts and encourage you to let me know what you thought in the comments/chat feature!
