“My weekend is all booked.”
— said smugly with a TBR pile taller than Adam Driver
2025 Reading Goal: 155 / 112
I must have been born with a book in my hands because I’ve been reading (for fun and on purpose!) for as long as I can remember. Some stories live rent-free in my head. Others are deep, literary regrets. What you’ll find here are the ones that made the cut—my all-time favorites and the ones that I push into friends’ hands. May they ruin you in the best possible way.
