Literary Works

I didn’t grow up a reader. I was a strong one, but not a lover of books. In my adolescent mind, reading felt like punishment — something you did because you had to, not because you enjoyed it.

Over the last few years, that changed. I started picking up books that spoke to topics I cared about and found interest, and I realized that I actually enjoy reading when the book connects with me. While not my #1 pastime, it’s something I’ve grown to appreciate and look forward to.

In this section, I share the books I’ve read and the ones I’m currently reading. I’m still adding titles, so this list is not all‑inclusive.
