Welcome to My Cozy Book Corner

I’m Kelly!

There is something truly magical about books. They whisk you away to different times, places, and worlds. Beloved characters start to feel like your best friends, and certain stories can speak to your soul.

Welcome to Bookmarks ‘n Blankets, a cozy corner for book lovers. Here, you will find companion blogs to all of my podcast episodes, along with book lists, thoughtful book discussions, and practical reading tips. Whether you are just beginning your reading journey or already devour books by the stack, this is the perfect place to explore the wonder of stories together.

As for me, I have been in love with books for as long as I can remember, and these days I read more than 150 titles each year. You can learn more about my story here.
