Hello everyone!
Here's to the start of a brand new year. I'll be trying to clean up my book clutter this month by reading things I've borrowed from others and trying to finish some of the bigger books I've already started. There's no way I'll be able to get to all of these, but these are some of my ideas for the month. I would love to know what you guys are reading!
Books Mentioned:
Cleopatra by Stacy Schiff
The Rise and Reign of Mammals by Steve Brusatte
Clarissa by Samuel Richardson
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
Rapture in Death by J.D. Robb
The Rising Storm by Scott Cavan
The Walking Dead - Compendium One by Robert Kirkman
The Only Plane in the Sky by Garrett Graff
Call the Midwife by Jennifer Worth

youtube.com/watch?v=UNmhg0zkI00&t=110s
I'm Farrah from bookstalgic and I have rediscovered my love of reading again in my 40s. :)
I try to find any time I can to squeeze in my love of reading into my busy life of work and family. :). I love talking lots of walks in nature to try to appreciate all that I can each day.
Favorite genres: it's mixed bag of Classics, Sci-Fi, Fiction, Fantasy, Mystery/Thriller, Classic Horror (not too scary lol), Nature/Environment, Non-fiction, Health, History and Speculative/Paranormal Romance
On my channel, you'll find cozy/chill reading vlogs that highlight some of the natural beauty I see outside on my daily walks around our farm.
I try to post 2 vlogs per month as well as a reading wrap up at the end of each month (I sometimes get behind, though!) :)
I hope you enjoy my channel and thank you so much for stopping by!
