I was a big reader when I was younger but then life got too busy. I fell in love with reading again in September 2023 thanks to a friend. I'm obsessed with both Books and Cats! 📚🐈 I'm always switching between physical books, my kindle, and borrowbook app. ✨ My Instagram:@samw1984 Hoping to post more book content 😊 goodreads.com/user/show/172694124-sam-metcalfe My go-to Genres: Contemporary Romance, Mystery & Thrillers, Sci-Fi & Fantasy. However I'm up to reading most Genres. 💙
