Beard Between the Lines

Hey there! I'm João, but you can call me “Beardy”!

If you love books, stories, and reading, you're in the right place. I'm a writer, lawyer, translator, and an avid reader, and I'm excited to share my passion for writing with you through this newsletter, an evolution of my popular bookstagram, Beard Between the Lines.

You’re gonna LOVE IT!

Here’s what you can expect:

• Reading notes from a writer’s perspective

• Books and reading habits

• Book reviews

A little more about me:

Yes, I’m really a lawyer (I know…), but reading and writing are my true loves. I also have a slight addiction to coffee – okay, maybe more than slight.

A few years ago, I started sharing my love for books and writing on Instagram under the name Beard Between the Lines. From 2016 to 2022, my daily posts about books and reading habits attracted forty thousand followers from all over the world. I made amazing connections and friends, improved my own reading, writing, and thinking, and gained a fresh perspective on the joy of reading.

However, the demands of social media led to burnout. I needed a change, so I explored blogging and newsletters. Now, I've found my home on Substack, where I can share my thoughts on books, reading habits, and everything in between.

Join me on this journey. Through my words, you'll sit in the passenger seat of a wonderful trip through the world of books. We'll share a virtual cup of coffee while discussing our favorite reads and exploring new literary adventures.

If this sounds like your cup of tea (or coffee), subscribe to Beard Between the Lines here:

Thanks!
