I read to learn, to travel, to be introduced to new ideas and new ways of thinking. I read to learn, to challenge myself and also to relax. I can't think of a genre I don't read or haven't read, although I'll admit to favourites including crime fiction, speculative fiction, young adult fiction, and urban histories. It's a longer list than that once I start thinking about it, too.
Long story short: escapism.

Now, with my dream to become an author, I’ve found that reading improves my writing ability and encourages me to continue when I’ve lost motivation because it shows me what I can achieve if I continue to work towards my goals.

- Latest Review: Worldlines by Adam Guest
As a child, my favorite memories were the guest bedroom in my grandparent's home, where I stayed during the summers set up with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves so I could spend all night reading. Reading and discussing books has been the only way I have connected with my grandmother, with whom I otherwise would have nothing in common.
Reading allows me to connect with others outside the conventional ways to connect with others, giving me more to talk about and a better understanding of people by reading about psychology, cultures, and a variety of other topics.

I love seeing characters come to life. And I love feeling like I am literally on their journey with them.
