Hello, fellow book nerds!
My name is Angie and I'm the one who runs and writes for this book blog, The Bookish Island.
I am now 24 years old and I recently graduated from college with an associate degree in Computer Sciences. And almost a bachelor's degree in the same.
I started reading in college trying to find something that could give me peace and make my stress go away for a while. Because it got to the point where it was getting pretty bad. To my surprise, it worked and helped me out a lot. It's been years since I made that decision (around the end of 2014). And I'm glad I did it.
I've read now read over 200 books and own over 300 books. I'm definitely a slow reader, but I will keep at it until I finish it. Even if I'm having a tough time with the book or I'm starting to hate it. I think that I can only truly judge it when I've read the book to the last page. It has to be really bad (in my opinion) for me to DNF it.
I wasn't really reading before that, except when I was very young. I may have had a handful of kid book in the beginning. I remember having a Lion King book. It was never my thing, reading or books but that's mostly because I had slight dyslexia. And I found it very difficult to read and concentrate for long periods of time. Plus, the fact that there weren't any bookstores where I live (still aren't) and the only library in town wasn't that approachable or had any good books, didn't help.
I'm still a bit dyslexic, but not as much. Now I am constantly reading and truly enjoy talking about books I've read and those I want to read.
This blog is sort of a journey into the world of books and reading from my perspective. I like to think of it as my online book journal.
Hope you enjoy my blog!
Happy Reading!!
