NEW Mood Reader Series

A series that shares my journey as I navigate a moody reading life and perhaps helps other mood readers find their next great read.

I’m in my MOODY era and I’m leaning heavily into it. My middle sister would say that I’m not a very sensitive person but I beg to differ. I’m the eldest of three sisters so I lean more type A and very practical but I FEEL all the emotions of the ups and downs of life, relationships, loss and everything else.

I’ve been through some things…infertility, loss of a parent, breast cancer, to name a few. These things have shaped me as a person and changed my relationships and my perspective.

I think all of what I mention is an important reminder of why our reading preferences change with time. We are ever evolving and always coming into a book with new insights. With that, some things are fresh on our mind and perhaps we’re ready to dive into these fresh scars and other times we need distractions. Knowing ourselves and what we need not only helps with human relationships but also helps to determine what we should be seeking out from stories.

Next time you browse your shelves I want you to think about what you need right now. Do you need a happily ever after? Do you seek to be understood? Do you want grab the popcorn and read until the morning light? All important questions to ask yourself. There are more but we will get to all of that in this series.

I’m excited to dive into the psychology of it all, toss tbrs out the window and hopefully find some gems along the way.

Talk soon,
