Hello! I’m Kristen. Full-time nurse, wife, dog mama, book lover, and aspiring small business owner. Reading has become such a big part of my daily routine, which is so funny because I hated reading when I was younger. In college, the only books I collected were all nursing related. My love for reading began when Covid hit. As a nurse working in the hospital during the pandemic, I needed something to escape reality for a little while. Some of my co-workers would sit at the nurses station and talk about books during our downtime and I would think to myself, how can you all like reading so much? One of them lended me “Where the Crawdads Sing” and it completely made me fall in love with reading. I couldn’t believe how quiet my mind went. I appreciated the ability to step away from the chaos of every day and step into a different world. Now it’s a never ending “to be read” list. Throughout the past year, I have taken my love for reading and began creating bookish accessories. I want to be able to provide happiness to others, even if it’s just a little bit. So, that is what I am doing here. Thank you being here. Cheers my book loving friends!
