About Me

Finding my inner child!

I’m not going to lie, I’m on a healing journey, and creating The Muddled Reader is a major part of my travels. When I was a kid, especially a teen, books were pretty much my only friends. I’ll be going into more detail about that through my blog posts. Abandoned in the chaos of adulting, I’ve reclaimed books in the past year, and me and reading are glued at the hip, there is no one without the other. Books are the air to my lungs now, broccoli to my brain! Other things I would reclaim include roller skating and gymnastics, but at nearly 46 I might be muddled, but I’m not completely mad!

I want to spread the joy of books, just call me the book disciple, ha! There are plenty of people that review books, my blog is offering something a bit different. I read mainly for mental health reasons so I will be giving you reviews that specifically look at that aspect of a book. How did the book make me feel? what mental health aspects are covered in the book? that kind of thing. 

I also have quite a mental health story to tell myself. If any of this appeals, please stick around and talk to me! If not, shouting into the void will be therapeutic if nothing else!
