Hi there! Welcome to my literary home.

I’m Tonislava, a bibliotherapist, avid reader, writer, and book-curator.

Over the years, I’ve developed a synergy with reading and often times, I’ll pick a book that’s perfect for my current circumstance. Has that ever happened to you?

You see I’m a pretty strong believer that books come into our life at just the right moment. Sometimes they’re there to entertain us, sometimes they’re there to help us heal and grow, and most often, we will discover something new.

So here’s my proposal - there’s so many fantastic books in the world. I want to continue to discover and read as many as I can - and I’m sure you do too.

So let’s do it together!

Every 2 weeks, I’ll share a Muse-Letter with book recommendations for what I call “Life’s Big Questions.”

Some posts will be an ode to a book I’ve previously read and loved, other times, it’ll be a new gems (I hope) to discover. Of course, there will be some musings around the theme of the books and the emotions it evokes. I’ll also share some journal prompts about how to get us thinking about this topic.

The idea is to surprise ourselves with new worlds, perspectives, and discover books that can help us grow.

Did I mention I’m a bibliotherapist? That’s a whole topic for another blog post that you can find here. “My journey with bibliotherapy.”

My “Author” Bio: I’m originally from Bulgaria and grew up in the US. I’m a new mom to a delightfully curious little girl who loves books just as much as me. Together with my husband and our doggy Kimi, we live in a beautiful coastal town in Portugal. I delight in cozying up with a cup of coffee and my latest book, on my lilac chair.
