Books
Since 2024, reading has become a more intentional part of my routine. While I’ve always enjoyed books, balancing full-time work and school previously left little time for leisure reading. Now, I’ve made space for it—and I couldn’t be happier. Below, you’ll find what I’m currently reading and what I’ve recently finished. Reading is often my escape from screens and a way to enjoy a good fictional story, though I’m equally drawn to books on communication and, more recently, biographies. You can also find me on Fable, where I track my reading. After trying several reading-tracking apps (the data enthusiast in me can’t resist exploring the analytics), I’ve found Fable to be the most intuitive and enjoyable way to visualize my reading progress.
