A new year, a new reading goal. And this time, I’m doing things differently. In this episode of Laura’s Library, I talk about my 2026 reading goals, why I set my Goodreads goal to one book, and how I’m unlearning the pressure to turn reading into another productivity challenge. Reading should feel like rest, not stress. Tune in to explore what it means to enjoy hobbies for their own sake, how prod...

96 books later, we reached the end of 2025. In this episode of Laura’s Library, I’m sharing my 2025 Reading Wrapped.

We’ve all had those moments wondering if we’ll end up alone, questioning where life (and silly situationships) are taking us, and feeling the pressure to “put yourself out there” - whatever that actually means. Whether you’ve never been in a relationship or you’re healing from one, that fear can creep in. But here’s the thing—life is so much bigger than just romantic love, and feeling uncertain is...

What better way to welcome warmer weather than with my spring time romance must-reads? In this episode, I’m sharing my spring time must-reads - from silly little romcoms or emotionally gripping (sometimes devastating) love stories. From bestsellers to underrated gems, I’ve got...

Ever sent a text you instantly regretted? You know, the kind that leaves you spiralling all day—agonized, anxious, and desperately trying to distract yourself from constantly checking your phone? That was me last week. And let me tell you, it wasn’t pretty. My overwhelming feelings (with a sprinkle of anxiety) hit such a peak that I couldn’t even escape into a good book. I’d sit down, open a page,...

Let’s dive into the genre that's been taking over the book world this past year: the delicate blend of romance and fantasy— known as "romantasy."  In this episode, I’ll talk you through must-read romantasy books and series that will not only capture your heart but also keep you on the edge of your seat.
