Welcome to Read and Wander!
I’m your guide, Nikki. My favorite people call me Mama Bear but occasionally I’m Dr. Outside of family and running a mental health clinic, I read obsessively. Turns out stress and ambition have been good for my Goodreads Challenges. I believe books should be read with good coffee and chocolate when ever possible. Fresh air, loud music, travel, and diving into a fantasy world or wandering in space keeps me sane. I am also the biggest Star Wars nerd. This blog started as a creative outlet to for coping with postpartum depression (and serious case of wanderlust) but what I found was a community I absolutely adore. I hope you find something here that you connect with!
Random Facts:
The Red Rising Saga is my all time favorite book series.
Twilight is my favorite time of day. Not for the sparkly vampires here in the PNW but the magic of the world being both dark and bright for a brief time.
Some of my many obsessions include Linkin Park and having a playlist for pretty much everything. Music has saved my life.
If I ever changed professions it would be to study space. Or become a Jedi. Or a Mandalorian. Probably a Mandalorian.
Pizza is my kryptonite.
