📚 I love reading. Science fiction is my favorite, but I’ll read just about anything that sparks curiosity or expands my brain. My TBR could qualify as a fire hazard🔥 and yet, I’m always happy to add more books. Send recs! 📚

Up next: The Cat Who Saved Books because after diving into the PNW’s darkest true-crime corners, I need a literary palate cleanser served with purrs and paperbacks. If it has cats and books in the title, it’s basically required reading. 📚🐱
