“Reading gives us someplace to go
when we have to stay where we are.”

Hi, I’m Amy! 

I read, I write, I scroll my phone, and I watch (mainly Bravo) TV.  I live in Chicago, IL, with my husband Terry and our daughter Cameran.  I hold a doctorate degree in literacy and share books of all kinds, but my favs are historical fiction, thrillers, and YA (don’t @ me).  I hope The Trendy Reader can be for you a go-to source for book recs, literacy info, and maybe a cute outfit here and there.  Reading is always trendy, okay?!  Thanks for stopping by!  You can follow me on IG @thetrendyreader for more!
