My names Casey and I’m a book lover, all through my life books have helped me no matter the situation, I read all genres but lately I’m a big fantasy and sci-fi reader. I listen to a lot of audio books and tend to love auto-biographies. I started this blog in 2016 (do not go back to those posts I really warn you the cringe is to real) and a lot has changed since then but my love for reading and spreading that love hasn’t. This blog is book based but I’m going to start incorporating more life updates. I can’t wait to dive into all the stories with everyone ❤️
