Nest-Building Books!
A note about me as a reader of books: I read many...many books at a time. I have no explanation for this. At any given point in time if you walked into my bedroom you would find a monstrous stack of books on my nightstand...a drawer (or two or three) full of more books inside of it, a paisley (adorable) storage ottoman full of...wait for it.......more books, and on top of that, a basket of, you guessed it....more books. Again, this abundance of literature might seem cluttery, suffocating, or even hord-like behavior. But to me it is wonderful. It is cozy, welcoming, relaxing, enchanting, magical. I am a lover of learning, knowledge, exploring new worlds, imagining the impossible, cuddling up with fuzzy blankets and a plethora of pages. I read a wide variety of things. Below are some things I've read or am currently (or at some point planning on getting around to finishing...) reading but nicely categorized, unlike their present state in my room! I hope you find some inspiration among them!
