A BIT OF HISTORY

Welcome to my obsession...books...reading them, talking about them, recommending them, and, of course, talking to those authors who write them!

Keepreadingkristen started as a mantra to myself in the wee hours of the night rather than be responsible and go to sleep.  Now you can find me on Bookstagram, BlueSky, and Threads as @keepreadingkristen asking QOTD's, posting book reviews and  memes, chatting with other readers and supporting authors!
