i have been trying to get back into reading for a while, i used to do it nonstop in middle/high school but fell off after i graduated. i picked up Thursday Murder Club randomly at a bookstore a few weeks ago and finally sat to read it this week and it’s really doing it for me right now. i don’t have much time to read anymore with college and work but i think this will be the first book i have finished since i graduated high school 😅 so, i’m curious. what books randomly re-sparked your love for reading?

    ‘The Bell Jar’ by Sylvia Plath, followed by ‘Ariel,’ a collection of some of her poems. I struggled with the books I chose before diving into Plath’s work, so when I started reading The Bell Jar, I was completely taken in by how raw and arduous her writing was. This experience not only fueled my desire to read more but also reignited my passion for writing.

    I just like it when you can emotionally resonate with a book. And having read The Bell Jar, I had forgotten how that felt.
