My Book Shelf
Reading has become a strong passion of mine over the last few years. Ever since I started a book club with my friends, where we read various genres and meet monthly to discuss, the impact of reading on my daily life has become more and more apparent. Not only do books give me a form of escape and entertainment, I have learned more about myself and my life through various characters and character relationships. This paired with my desire to live an intellectually curious and present life has helped to deter me from the trap that is social media and instant dopamine rushes from the technology we are surrounded by daily. I believe every person should be a reader because of how beneficial it is for the mind and soul.
Although I have a strong background in fashion, I have come to realize that my passions and talents align immensely with the publishing industry and am currently seeking opportunities to help me transition to the career path that I am so eager to begin.
My February Reads
Penitence by kristin koval
Reading as part of my monthly subscription to Book of the Month to gain exposure to new contemporary fiction and emerging authors.
This book is described as, “equal parts tragedy, mystery, and coming-of-age, a propulsive, decades-long tale exploring the impact of forgiveness.”
intermezzo by salley rooney
Reading as a personal book pick this month. As an avid reader with a love of storytelling involving complex relationships and human experiences, I am excited to explore this novel and the depth’s of Salley Rooney’s talents.
Intermezzo is described as “An exquisitely moving story about grief, love, and family—but especially love—from the global phenomenon Sally Rooney.”
the housemaid by freida mcfadden
Reading as part of my Book Club that I host monthly with friends. I curate monthly reading selections and lead discussions on publishing trends, book marketing strategies, and reader preferences. Each month I analyze literary trends and bestsellers to predict consumer interest in various genres.
The Housemaid is a fast-paced mystery, thriller with high-ratings on platforms such as goodreads and Fable.
