Hello, I’m Colleen!

I’m a book lover, writer, certified book coach, and passionate supporter of independent bookstores. I created The Garden of Reading to celebrate outstanding books, the art of writing, and the charm of indie bookstores.

I’m also the person who won’t hesitate to tell you how much I love that book you just picked up at your local bookstore or library. Books are my favorite way to make connections and friendships, and I’d love to hear from you!

Have a great book recommendation or just want to chat about all things literary? Reach out on Instagram @the_garden_of_reading or email me at thegardenofreadingblog@gmail.com.
