I have some important news… - let’s publish books together!

Let's chat about the Rainy Days Library Bindery House and what it all means. 

We're putting things on hold... for now.

It was unbelievably hard for me to make this decision, because I always veer towards forcing myself to keep up with something rather than just "putting a pin in it" for later. BUT! If there's one thing therapy has helped me with, it's realizing that it's better to put myself first so I can thrive later. 

I'm so incredibly grateful for all of you and your endless support - I do hope you'll understand why I made this decision and that it definitely did not go without endless pondering and "what ifs" and sobbing breakdowns. I love and appreciate you so much, thank you for being here!!

An important update

A new book review is available for you to read on our Notion Page!

Look, will I actually manage to read all of these in August? Most likely not... because it's August 6th and I've already veered off path - BUT IT'S OKAY!!! This list is really just to give me a bit more peace of mind in choosing my next read, but it's definitely not set in stone. 

What are your August hopefuls?

Will I read any of these books? [My August Hopefuls]

NEW BOOK REVIEW - i want to die but i still want to eat tteokbokki by Baek Sehee

"The Dallergut Dream Department Store" by Miye Lee was such a heartwarming story, and I genuinely wish it was a real place. It might be, for all I know. After all, I don't tend to remember that much from my dreams once I wakeup.

Have you read this book yet? What did you think about it?

FINALLY!!! I’m back with another reading wrap up, and boy did I feel rusty recording this. It’s been so long since I filmed a long-form book review and I felt like I didn’t know how to string words into a coherant sentence,so apologies for any messiness! I’m so glad I was able to get back into the groove of things with this video, and I’m curious to hear what you read last month!

Desiree



Hi my ‘Lil Raindrops, I’m Desiree! I used to be a quiet reader; the reader who kept their opinions and excitement to themselves from fear of being judged for being “too excited” or “unrealistic” for falling in love with fictional worlds. That is, of course, until I found my community of like-minded people. Since then, it’s been my goal to offer a similar environment to others, where they can share their excitement for books and fictional characters and to be received with just the same level of excitement and a big, warm hug. Welcome to the ‘Lil Raindrops Family!

Desiree 🍉

Hi my lil Raindrops! Welcome back, or welcome home! For those who don't already know me; Hi! I'm Desiree. This YouTube channel is going to be like a longer version of my TikToks. I'll talk books, studying, annotating, life, mental health, read-with-me, cooking; literally everything. Consider this place to be like my own digital journal that I share with the world because why the heck not.

I hope you'll find RDL to be a comfort place for you, just like my community has become my very own safe place xxx
