Welcome to Glittering Reads!

Years ago, as a freshman, I walked into my campus library. It smelled like learning, ideas, and possibilities. I was enchanted.

As I walked up the stairs, my eyes caught a large quote printed on the wall. It said, “Seek out of the best books words of wisdom.”

That line pierced my heart like a tiny arrow. And it’s philosophy flowed into my blood stream until it became part of me.

From that moment on, I began to crave finding the “best books” in every genre: fiction of every kind, classic literature, business, self-help, biographies, memoirs, picture books, children’s lit, guidebooks, you name it.

The more I read, the hungrier I became.

I realized I wanted my children to one day experience the best as well —the best life has to offer - books, art, music, all of it.

I also realized that time is so limited, and there are so many things vying for our attention (confession: I literally just responded to a text message while typing this), and endless books that one could read.

And so, dear reader, I am on a journey—a quest to discover the best books in every form - to sift out the gold and share it with you.

Why? Because I believe with my soul that the “best books” are keys—keys to freedom, truth, beauty, and enlightenment. When we read them, our lives are filled with beauty, empathy, knowledge, important perspective shifts. We see the world more clearly, and we become better equipped to make our corner of it brighter.

Here, on this blog, you’ll find my carefully curated recommendations: book reviews, lists, and reflections. My hope is to guide you toward books worth your time and the ones that just might change your life.
