Behind every story, there is a writer and behind that writer, there is an idea.
Hi.
For those who know me, I'm Megan but for those who don't know me... well, you know my name now. You all know this is the beginning of a book blog that hopefully won't be abandoned during the crazy quest of life, but while some may be wondering why should there be another book blog, or what exactly is different about this blog, well... let me start off with a few facts about myself.
​
1. I'm left handed (Hi to all the lefties out there!) I know how rare it always is to find someone else who has this trait, so if you're in this same boat, then welcome. We all get to be rare together.
​
2. I'm studying to become an English Teacher
​
3. I LOVE Spongebob, as in I'm one of the hardcore fans out there who will know nearly what every episode is about and as it is such a big love of mine, I chose to focus on a sponge theme for this blog, hence the title Absorbing Reads, because at the root of everything, that's what this blog is for: to acknowledge the books that have absorbed my interest and may do so for other readers out there. I'm an aspiring author trying to get published.
​
4. When I'm not reading, or writing, or studying, or worrying full time about what the future will look like, I'm likely to be chatting with somebody on social media, chatting with friends IRL (because I'm a people person at the end of the day)
​
5. I also work as a research assistant/ marketing and event planner in promoting an essay anthology collection called Growing Up Chicago. (Which is one of my biggest accomplishments!) You won't find a writing piece by yours truly there, but you will know that I did help in the dedication section before the book starts and that I helped edit that manuscript, and did promotional material for it. Super grateful to be a part of this journey too!
​
Now that you all know a bit more about me, get ready to deal with the messy shenaniganry that will take place as I rant about books (and recommend music along the way while I hopefully inspire more readers to find new reads and for authors to get the spotlight they deserve too :)
