They’re cultured, sophisticated, and they definitely judge your Goodreads list.
What really has us shook is how genuine her love for books seems. Like, this isn’t some performative “I read Shakespeare” energy. This is a woman who actually LOVES reading across the board. The kind of person who has books stacked on her nightstand, bathroom counter, and probably in her car too. Relatable? Maybe. Inspiring? Absolutely.
