The Reading Nook

When you feel like you’re drowning in your to-do list, it’s easy to push aside that book you’ve been meaning to read for the last six months. The longer you wait, the less you can remember why you wanted to read the book in the first place. This zine exists to instill a craving to read, a longing to curl up somewhere comfortable, in a place of your own, where nothing exists outside your little bubble. It exists as proof of how addicting a life beyond our own can be. When you allow yourself to let reality go and enter a fantastical world full of complex characters, plot twists, and cliffhangers that will leave you itching to grab a book and never put it down.






This zine was inspired by a book-filled summer spent rapidly exchanging texts with my friend Emily, sending reactions to plot twists and story arcs in real-time. These are just a few of our emoji-filled, all-caps text messages.
