 “We read to know that we are not alone.” - C.S. Lewis

Dear Reader,

My name is Anais and I consider myself a professional book lover. I created this blog as a space to share what I love: Books that you can`t put down while you read it and can`t stop thinking about when you finish it. 

Here, you`ll find book reviews, recommendations and other general book-related content. I don`t know exactly where the journey will take us - but that`s part of trying new things. 

I believe that words have the power to soften, awaken and connect. If that resonates with you, then I`m glad you`re here.

Feel free to stay a while.

- Anais

If you feel like your urge to read has disappeared - Congratulations: You are in a reading slump. I`ve been there many times and here`s how I got myself out of it. Why We Fall Into Reading Slumps But first: How does this phenomenon happen? Well, a reading slump can have several causes. Maybe you felt really stressed lately and emotionally investing in a storyline is just too much right now. Or you read too many books that don`t excite you, so reading started to feel like a chore. OR the exact opposite: You were reading a book that was so good that you simply can`t continue with a possible three or four star read.  Books That Helped Me Get Back Into Reading Psychothriller/Mystery You get invested quickly because you can`t help but guess who the murderer is. At least that`s what a good Thriller/Mystery ...
