about

Hi, I’m Chrysten! I live in Southern California, and am the second youngest of five sisters. I love coffee, sushi, the beach, camping, animals, running, soccer, and, of course, reading.

Reading is my FAVORITE hobby. It’s more than a hobby, really. I read for fun, in the car, during meals, before bed, while I’m supposed to be doing homework, and any other time I can get my hands on one.

Over the years, I’ve read and reread hundreds of books, maybe even thousands. From Charlottes’ Web to Percy Jackson to Grimm’s Fairy Tales, I’ve loved almost every single one. (No, I don’t have a favorite book—they’re all too amazing!!)

All that to say, you could say I’m experienced when it comes to books. I’m excited to show you all my favorite reads, and hope you enjoy it!

“You’ll have a tale or two to tell of your own when you come back.”
“Can you promise I’ll come back?”
“No. And if you do, you won’t be the same.”

“Books are good company, in sad time and happy times, for books are people who have managed to stay alive by hiding between the cover of a book.

-EB White

“I have lived a thousand lives and I have loved a thousand loves. I’ve walked on distant worlds and seen the end of time.
Because I read.”

1 Timothy 3:14
