Hi, I’m Lori, a Gen Xer and the founder of Lori’s Book Loft, a little corner of the internet I’ve been tending since 2017.
Reading is at the heart of everything I share here. Books have always been a source of comfort, curiosity, inspiration, and companionship, and Lori’s Book Loft has given me a place to celebrate the stories and authors that stay with me long after I’ve turned the final page.
Alongside book reviews and recommendations, I share personal essays, reflections, and glimpses into the things that fill my days when I’m not reading or working on Substack. That might mean visiting a bookstore, admiring art and ceramics, listening to music, traveling somewhere new, or simply noticing one of those small everyday moments that makes life feel meaningful.
As a Gen Xer, I also find myself drawn to the nostalgia, books, music, places, and simple pleasures that have shaped my life.
