The Relapsed Reader

Once upon a time, I was lost in the pages of books, devouring stories and ideas like they were essential to my being. But somewhere along the way—life, distractions, ADHD, depression, anxiety—I drifted. Reading became an occasional habit rather than a refuge.

Now, I’m coming back. Not just to books, but to the discipline, the joy, the quiet space they offer. This newsletter is part of that journey. I’ll explore how I fit reading into my life while managing the chaos of a scattered mind. I’ll share tools for productivity, habit-forming tricks, and reflections on mental health.

Every week, I’ll send out a "What I'm Reading" newsletter featuring both a Fiction and Non-Fiction selection—books that challenge, entertain, and sometimes just comfort. If you're a fellow relapsed reader or someone looking for ways to rekindle your reading life, let’s do this together.
