I am overwhelmed with books I’d like to get around to reading, but besides my music on Spotify, my sketchbook, and my acrylic paints, this is how I get by on limited social interaction. So, I felt like sharing my library with you to give you an idea of how and where my brain works. You can find the 12 books that have helped my depression on this post.

There is an app called Libby that is managed by libraries. If your library uses it you can request titles from them and read those books you want for free. I was pretty thrilled to learn this!
