Today, we are exploring the power of reading and writing to make life feel better through Up Lit. 

Up Lit is a particular genre of reading that makes us feel good. The stories are hopeful and inspiring, even if the characters are going through hard things. 

Today, I’ll take a deep dive into this micro-genre, quickly mention a list of books you’re likely already familiar with that characterize this genre, take a deeper dive into three books I think you should add to your Spring TBR and end with 5 notebook prompts perfect for some uplifting writing experiences, too.

You’ll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here.
