I started blogging in August 2018 after encouragement from friends who'd seen me talking about the books I'd read on my private social media. I had never heard of Bookstagram and didn't know that there was a whole community of book bloggers out there. I didn't know I was about to find a place that felt like home and meet friends I know I'll have for a lifetime.
