Legend has it that my first word was “books”.
Ha, just kidding. But it might as well have been because I’ve loved books since I learned how to read. I’m known for always carrying a book with me (yes, even before Kindle or other e-readers were ever a thing).
If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably been called a book nerd at some point in your life too. I take no offense – reading books is one of my favorite hobbies. It has always been and I suspect it will always be a part of my life.
Combining my love of reading with my hand lettering and illustration skills, I embarked on a project called Bookaholic (because duh, yes, I confess: I am a bookaholic). This series was born because I wanted to create something meaningful to me, as well as to other book lovers.
So thinking about it, I wanted to give away free printables and phone wallpapers with all of these quotes about books.
