I’ve been an avid reader since childhood and can happily spend hours perusing the library shelves for my next read.

So, when the pandemic hit and libraries closed in-person services, I was forced to reevaluate how I choose what to read next.

In this post, I’m sharing my top 4 ways to make sure your reading list never runs dry.

What I read: February 2021

February was a weird month for me. I feel like I hit a pandemic wall and struggled to find books that could keep my interest. I had two books I started but didn’t finish, which is highly unusual for me! I usually try to tough it out unless a book is really, really bad.
