This space began as a journey of trying to find a spark in my life back in November, 2019. At the time, I had just begun studying at a new school and I was desperate for connection and an objective other than studying. As a newly changed English major and lifelong book enthusiast, (not to mention follower of bookstagram accounts in general), I couldn’t help but be drawn to see if I could do it too. Starting was intimidating, but people were so kind and I was so excited to talk about the books I was reading and wanted to read. I had such a fun time learning how to use a camera and, in general, the process of taking photos, organizing my thoughts, and then talking to people about it. 

From there, I’ve really enjoyed creating and maintaining Halfextinguishedthoughts. What started out as a journey for connection, has bloomed into one of the biggest joys in my life. You’ll find a bit of all kinds of genres, thoughts, and writings here. I’ll share my thoughts on classics, literary fiction, memoir, & a sprinkle of sci-fi & fantasy (basically whatever my mood reading mind demands).  

I hope you enjoy perusing Halfextinguishedthoughts as much as I enjoy it. I hope it's a safe space to learn, inspire, and to bring some joy (or at least distraction for a time). 

Thank you.

Much love,

Caroline
