Spring Cleaning My Home Library

It’s time for a different kind of spring cleaning.

In this cozy, reflective episode, Lara Ashley takes you inside her home library, shelf by shelf: sharing the stories behind her collection, what she’s loving, what she needs to read next, and where she’s learning to slow down.

From a romance shelf that’s almost full (and a reminder to read before buying more), to banned books, graphic novels like Lore Olympus, and nostalgic favorites like Harry Potter and Amari and the Night Brothers, this episode is a personal walk through a reader’s life.

Lara also shares her love for cozy fantasy (Legends & Lattes), thrillers, holiday reads, and the books that have shaped her, including memoirs like The Truths We Hold and her own unpublished novel, which holds a special place on her shelf.

This episode is about more than organizing books; it’s about reflecting on identity, growth, and the stories we choose to keep close.

If you’ve ever looked at your bookshelf and seen a version of yourself staring back, this one’s for you.

Grab your favorite drink, settle in, and come spring clean with me.
