If a Tree Falls in the Forest: Reader Edition


My blog goes largely unread. But, it doesn't matter.

My bookish friends don't read the same books as I do. But, it doesn't matter.

As I was talking to a bookish friend this weekend, we debated the question: If no one knew what you read, would you read as much?

I have had a BookTube channel. It was well viewed and commented on. I had a Bookstagram. It was well commented on. This is my third site (and last one) to discuss what I read.

Why? Why would I put myself through this? 

I do it because even if I can get one person to read some classics, to read more slowly, to drink organic coffee and to slow down in general, it will have been worth it.

If one person can pick up romance or cozy mysteries, and read for entertainment, it would have been worth it.

It's a digital journal of my reads and experiences with books.

I write about books because it helps me to understand my experience of reading them. 

It doesn't have to be perfect. I doesn't have to be widely read. I have no dreams of going viral. 

I appreciate a simple, easy, slow, steady life. Join me in the anti-hustle revolution.
