After avoiding social media for the first 32 years of my life I joined X 1 year ago today. 

I still often call I Twitter irl 😅

But thanks to this platform I've had the chance to meet, talk with, and even become friends with a lot of interesting bookish people. 

I didn't know what I was getting into when I started this journey but I'm glad to say it’s been an overwhelmingly positive experience. 

In the past year, I’ve discovered countless new books, shared thoughts on stories that moved me, and connected with people who love the craft of writing just as much as I do. It’s been inspiring to see how supportive and passionate this community can be.

From book recs to deep literary discussions to the occasional meme that makes me laugh way too hard, this community has become a place where I feel genuinely at home among readers and writers alike.

Here’s to more stories, more conversations, and more connections in the year ahead! 

Thank you to everyone who’s made this first year a memorable one!
