Hello, we’re Lauren and Carver.

We’re a couple with one golden retriever (and one golden angel) who love traveling, the outdoors, and most importantly reading. Lauren, a lifelong bookworm and graphic designer, finds entertainment in thrillers and many other genres. She enjoys reading mainly for entertainment. Carver, initially drawn to books by authors like Jack London as a child, rediscovered reading during a leadership role, in order to master leadership skills.

We enjoy all book formats—audio or paper—and see them as tools to expand the mind and escape everyday pressures. Our blog aims to share our favorite reads, hoping to inspire your own enjoyment. Whether you read for pleasure or professional growth, the Golden Book Blog welcomes you to explore and learn.
