Grab a drink and a snack and hang out with me while I walk you through my entire physical TBR—yes, it’s 100+ books and it’s a lot. I start by giving you the cliff notes of my reading journey: I grew up loving the library and that Twilight/Divergent/Hunger Games era, then I fell into a nonfiction hole for about 10 years (Atomic Habits vibes, parenting, finances) and honestly convinced myself fiction was a “waste of time.” That all changed when I read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe aloud to my oldest and realized how much emotion and how many lessons fiction can hold. From there, one random Walmart trip basically became a portal back into fiction, and now here we are. In this video I rapid-fire my shelves by genre—fantasy/dystopian (hello Throne of Glass and Shatter Me), romance (Emily Henry, Ali Hazelwood, Tessa Bailey, and more), general/literary fiction (Taylor Jenkins Reid, Fredrik Backman, Britt Bennett), mystery/thriller (my least-reached-for genre, but I’m hopeful), and historical fiction (my absolute comfort zone, plus a whole stack of Kristin Hannah). I wrap up with a little “miscellaneous” pile to diversify—poetry, memoir, and a few classics—and I invite you to tell me your favorites so I can bump them to my priority TBR.
