Hello Whimsies!
I’m Traci, founder of Wild & Whimsy Collective. 💕 I’m also a poet, writer, and singer-songwriter.
Life is full of responsibilities. It’s easy to find ourselves caught up in a cycle of ticking boxes and miss the beauty around us.
W&W is for busy women who long to slow down for a moment, take a deep breath, and savor the season we find ourselves in.
I invite you to join our collective of kindred spirits as we rediscover the magic of the literary worlds and characters we’ve known and loved—and perhaps discover some for the first time.
Contact me:

What is Wild & Whimsy?
“Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think. It’s splendid to find out there are so many of them in the world.”

Spring 2026 Reading List:
Some seasons, you may read every book on the reading list and finish early. Other seasons, you might not get to any of the books at all. That’s okay.
Wild & Whimsy isn’t about ticking boxes. We do enough of that in our lives already.
Whether you read it, never started it, stopped halfway through it, read it and re-read it, or read it once 20+ years ago—you are welcome at our table. Please come to our BYOT Book Club chats as you are, even if that means listening in quietly.
