The Quirky Spine

Hello and welcome!

I am Galena and I am here to welcome you to my little corner of the internet. I started this blog as a way to keep myself accountable to my reading goals and life. I have had two straight years of meeting a yearly goal and this year I look to exceed those goals by almost doubling my reading. This will take sustained focus and I am ready for the challenge.

While this blog will begin as a space for me to document my reading life, I hope others join to find some new reads and community. Pull up a chair, grab a drink, find your page, and enjoy!
