@laurennicklaus is april’s featured wormfluencer. she is currently reading 3 books simultaneously because yes she can and will ~ laurennicklaus runs the podcast 🎙️ Pages & Plots with her friend, follow their reading journey 🍃💫

Every month, you’ll meet a new wormfluencer: a wormie who embraces their favorite reads, delivers hot takes, and recruits more worms 🫡

What are your bookish reading habits? (ie a cup of earl grey tea while you read, need to read outside, etc.)

A bookish reading habit I have is almost always carrying a physical book with me. I always require a bag large enough to fit my book and I read at any time.
