I hold a BA in philosophy and English literature, and I'm currently studying for my MLIS to become a children's librarian. I hope to use this blog to sharpen my critical reading and writing skills.

For the most part I will be sharing stories of what I read, why I read, and where I read (the best books remind us of where we were at a particular time in life).
