About Me
Welcome to My Reading Room blog & podcast!
My goal is to encourage a deep and profound awareness of our personal journeys. There is always a story to be read, an adventure to be imagined, and an idea to be understood.
Words give meaning to the present while expressing the universal hopes and aspirations of humanity, past and future. Gertrude Stein once said, “A masterpiece…may be unwelcome but it is never dull.” For me, books that challenge my “status quo” and test my firmly held beliefs may be uncomfortable, but they are anything but boring.
The bond between writer and reader gives relevance to the exchange. My goal is to understand the message in the spirit in which it was given and to embrace the diversity of accepted wisdom. In the end, it is about connecting with others, whether they live in our century or 2500 years ago.

A quiet space for words, reflection, and wonder
Welcome to Rebecca’s Reading Room, a quiet library of words and reflections. This is a place to pause, to linger with books and poetry, and to let stories become companions. Some books walk beside us for a season, others stay for a lifetime — all of them leave their mark.
Here you’ll find gentle meditations on poetry, thoughtful book reviews, and explorations that wander from Emily Carr’s artistry to Goethe’s Faust, from the hidden corners of literature to the voices of poets who still speak across time. Every post is an invitation to slow down, to listen, and to rediscover the joy of reading as a lifelong journey.
You are always welcome in the Reading Room.
