Hello there! I’m Ashlee and I think books are pure magic.
Is there anything quite like the thrill of reading great literature?
You could crack open a book, sit in the same nook each day, and heck, even wear the same outfit for a couple weeks.
But by the time you turn the page for the last time, you can be a totally different person, filled with a fresh perspective of yourself and the world.
Great books equip us with new skills to try, or gift us cathartic tears, or grant us empathy, or simply delight us with a beautiful story.
Inside the stairwell of a favorite library there is a quote that says. “Seek out of the best books words of wisdom.”
That quote hit me in the heart and stuck in my ribs until it became a part of me.
And I started thinking, man, I want to find these best books, pour over them, learn their secrets.
And I want my kids to experience them as well.
And so, dear reader, I am on a journey. A quest to discover the best books, in every form - and to sift out the gold and share it with you.
Why? Because I believe with my SOUL that the “best books” are shiny keys to freedom, truth, beauty, and enlightenment. And when we are armed with them, the world is a more peaceful, just, and beautiful place.
And so I hope you’ll join me! Hop over to the blog and find your next read from my carefully curated collection.
Other than being a lover of books, I am a mama of two, a personal trainer and nutrition coach (who adores dessert and drinks way too much Dr. Pepper zero (I know, I know), someone who aspires to regularly visit art museums and the theatre, and always working on some sort of organizing project (will it ever end? the answer is no it will not).
