Avid Reader. Seasoned Blogger.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always had my nose stuck in a book. Whether that was a picture book or one of those thick, weapon-worthy novels, reading has been a sense of comfort on the toughest of days.
Blogging started back in 2014 after spending all day in my dorm watching the newest ‘Booktube‘ video. While being in front of the camera may have been nerve-wracking to me, spending time writing my thoughts and ideas through blog-form seemed an easier alternative.
So, that’s how ‘Treestand Book Reviews‘ came to be. If you followed me through those eight years, you would have watched my reading tastes change from the every loving YA novels to romance to now, where I gravitate more towards the Adult fiction.
But there was just something in the back of my mind always nagging that I wanted to change my blogging experience up.
So when the events of 2020 happened, I used that time to slow down, reflect, and truly figure out what I wanted when it came to sharing my love of books.
And that’s when it came to me. What I really wanted, like many people during this crazy time, was a fresh start.
‘Bones n Coffee Books‘ has been a long time in the making, and finally, I can share it with the world.
Welcome, and I hope I can help find your next favorite book.
