Hi friends, welcome to π’πžπšπ¬π’ππž π‘πžπšππ¬ 𝐰𝐒𝐭𝐑 𝐀𝐫π₯𝐞𝐧𝐞. This is my bookish corner where I share what I’m reading, and what my teens are reading too. I read widely and talk honestly about the books that stay with me, from classics to modern literature.

Think Stars Hollow energy with a salty sea breeze. You’ll find reading vlogs, laid back reviews, book chats, and recommendations across middle grade, YA, adult fiction, and nonfiction. I also cohost the Salty Moms Book Club over on Instagram!

If you love a mix of genres, quiet reading escapes, thoughtful conversations, and a dash of bookish stationery, you’re very welcome here.

Pull up a chair, bring your current read, and join me by the sea. πŸ“šπŸš
