Hello! 

I'm Danielle. I'm 30 years old and a lover of sunshine, putting my feet in the dirt, and curling up with a good book or my beloved Kindle.

I have been a voracious reader my entire life, specifically during the summers of my middle school experience when most kids were out riding bikes & doing other pre-adolescent things and I was slowly making my way through the entire young adult section of the local library. It was a running joke between myself, my mom, and the librarians that my mom would feign shock at the stack I would carry out of the YA room (typically about 12 deep) - “You’re never going to finish all of those before they’re due!” - and, alas, I would.

I rediscovered my love of reading around 2018, when I was in a less-than-ideal living situation and used reading as a healthy form of escapism. Since then I had read 50+ books per year and my “to be read” list just keeps getting longer and longer.I began a book-focused Instagram in 2021, but I also crave this fun long-form way of connecting as well. Between here and there, I’ll be sharing book recommendations and casual reviews, journaling prompts and updates on my own journaling journey, curated lists of ways to bring a bit of joy into your day, and casual life updates about my adventures with Sara & Lexie. Pour yourself a hot (or cold, I don’t judge) cup of tea and stick around for awhile ☺
