Hey ya’ll, I’m Rissa. For as long as I can remember, books have been my favorite way to travel, quiet little vessels that carry me into new worlds, new hearts, and new ways of seeing. Every story feels like a stamped page in an ever-growing passport of imagination.

That spirit is what inspired Reise Reader. Reise means “travel” in German, a nod to my background, and it beautifully captures the journey each book invites us to take. Here, I follow the trails that authors leave behind: the soft truths, the bold revelations, the moments that feel like discoveries.

Each book I read earns its own passport stamps, up to five, my way of honoring how deeply it moved, delighted, or changed me.

If you feel that reading is its own kind of wandering, welcome.
Let’s roam together…one page, one story, one quiet adventure at a time.
