Hi! I’m Julianne — a/k/a Jules Buono!

I’m passionate about inspiring women to read more. I just can’t stop reading in my free time and I love sharing it. My goal is to serve busy women who are looking to make each day even a little bit better and more meaningful in all facets of life, primarily by reading more. And I like to pair books with fun lifestyle items, like style and recipes.
