Hi, I’m Pam from Reading Vintage

I’m the owner of Reading Vintage, a small online shop and blog dedicated to well-loved books, quiet reading moments, and the people who enjoy them.

I created this Starter Kit because I’ve seen how powerful it can be to share what we’re reading—whether that’s in a Facebook group, over coffee, or in a quick text to someone we love. You don’t need to be an expert reviewer.

You just need your book, your voice, and a little nudge to get started.
