Founder quote
"Some people hear a song and they're right back in a certain year. For me it's books. I know exactly where I was in life when I read a story and how it hit me, whether I was seeing myself in the pages or meeting someone completely new. Reading has been the one constant in my life, and it has always been about the feeling. The apps I tried were built to catalog and count. I wanted one that holds on to those moments and still feels playful now, while I crash out over my favorite main characters."
Joanna Leslie, founder of CozyShelf
