Penny for Your Thoughts… on Books is a space to share a love of reading, and I hope you enjoy it. This is my little passion project, but it’s not just for me.
Whatever reading is for you, and whatever it is you like to read, I hope this blog can serve as a helpful resource in whatever way you need it to. Reading can be an escape from reality, or a way to further acknowledge and learn about the reality we’re facing.
Since going back to work in some capacity, I’ve still kept up my reading momentum. I am very lucky to have been able to quarantine for a few months and enjoy that time countless people across the country and the globe have not had that privilege. 2020 has, of course, provided many of us with more “free time” that we know what to do with (which is not necessarily a good thing), and I am a bit ahead of my goal. I read 29 books of all sorts over the course of 2019, and set a modest goal of 30 finished reads for the next year. In 2019, I started chronicling my “finished reads” in my Instagram stories, and continued that practice into 2020.
#PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS FREE#
With encouragement from friends and some strange free time on my hands, I built this blog: it’s a place to share recent and favorite reads with other folks who are burning through their reading lists, looking for a recommendation on what to read next, just searching for a place to start, or who simply love to read. I have many, many thoughts on many, many books and I wanted somewhere to put them all, and then perhaps to share those thoughts with whoever may want to listen. Penny for Your Thoughts… on Books is a project that stems, initially, from my great love of reading.
