What's My Story
Ever since I was two-and-a-half, I've been reading every book in my path, from biographies, to fantasy-fiction, to mysteries. But what exactly is my story?
My story begins in a reading nook, snuggling up close to my mom in bed, listening to her read and sing magical tales. Lullabies, storybooks, and songs by "The Beatles." Books, music, and kindness would become the cornerstone of my childhood. I remember rocking out to fun tunes by my favorite bands, singing my heart out with my ukulele in hand.
Fast forward a few years, and I'm playing the piano, gaming on my Xbox, singing in musicals, and shooting hoops. But no matter how many extracurricular activities I take part in, my love of reading never falters and my book journey continues to grow! In fact, quite shockingly to some, my book story took off in brand new directions during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Since the world basically shut down during the pandemic, and we were spending our days at home, my mom found ways for me to connect with the outside world through virtual book clubs. I started attending online middle grade book clubs and it was an incredible experience! During the pandemic and after, my book journey took me virtually to parts of Canada, all across the United States, and even Australia, all via zoom!
I've read countless books and spoken with amazing librarians from all over! I've met incredible authors, read fascinating books and I share my reading adventures on the "E Train Talks" Podcast! I'm sharing book joy with kids around the country and soon I'll be sharing books with schools and libraries from my ongoing book drive. I'm beyond grateful for this fantastic book journey and I hope you'll travel along with me, as my book journey is never ending. I invite you to meet authors, listen to book talks, and find your favorite next read on "E Train Talks!"
