About

A white woman sits at a table reading a book with a collage of flowers and illustrations around her.

Hi, I’m Sara, a close reader, book reviewer, and forever student.

Reading transforms my home and me. With a book open, I feel like a student again, pen in hand, synapses firing, eager to talk about books. I treasure the online book community and the spaces it provides for readers to discuss books. You can find me hanging out on Bookstagram, BookThreads, BookTok, Substack, and #TheStacksPack Discord on any given day. They are my forever campuses, the places I go for book chatting.

The Books I Read

I intentionally read books written by authors who represent and tell stories about the global majority.
My 2025 reading focus (continued from 2024) is memoirs, fantasy, and wellness books written by Black women.
I am a huge fan of The Stacks Podcast, bookclubs, my Satisfiction box, and the Storygraph app.
My monthly TBR is governed by several incoming tides, namely Libby holds, book box subscriptions, and bookclub selections.

My Identity & Pronouns:

I am a cisgender heterosexual white woman. My pronouns are she/her.

Other:

I am almost an elder millennial; a Pisces; a sourdough bread baker; a San Diego transplant, and a mom of one (and done).
