From Pretty Book Photos To Real Reading Again with Fabienne

I’m joined by my longtime co-host and twin flame Fabienne, once known online as The Page Pilgrim, for a real talk about Bookstagram burnout, creator pressure, and what happens when reading stops feeling like a hobby and starts feeling like homework. We trace the arc from cozy COVID-era book photos and passionate reviews to the grind of posting, chasing engagement, and trying to keep up with endless new releases.We also get into what comes after the exit. Fabienne shares how rereads helped her fall back in love with books, why fantasy comfort reads can restart your momentum, and how exploring different genres (from thrillers to classic literature) can bring back genuine curiosity. If you’ve ever felt like the algorithm was reading over your shoulder, this one will hit. Subscribe for more conversations about books, reading habits, and creative life, and if this resonates, share the episode and leave a review so more readers can find us.
