I’m a lawyer, mom, community volunteer, and lifelong lover of books. After fifteen years practicing law, I’m currently taking a short break from full-time legal work to support my kids through some big school transitions and spend more time investing in a few passions of my own.

One of those passions? Helping kids discover books they genuinely love.

What started as volunteering for my kids’ elementary school book giveaway program has grown into a broader effort to help build reading culture in local schools and my community through book giveaways, mystery books, book fairs, and literacy initiatives.

This site is my way of paying forward the creativity and generosity of the many educators, parents, librarians, and book lovers who inspired me along the way — by sharing book recommendations, literacy ideas, and practical ways to help connect more kids with books they’ll love.

Thanks for visiting — and happy reading!
