Packing the Paperbacks: Four Months in Florida

I just moved in to my new apartment for a semester-long internship in Florida!!! I’m sure I won’t have much time for reading since I’ll be working a minimum of thirty hours per week, probably double that some weeks, and (hopefully) exploring in my spare time, but I’m going to try to read at least […]

My Favorite Books of 2018

In no particular order, here are some of the best books I read this year!

New York City Book Haul

I spent a total of eight days in New York, but somehow managed to acquire nine books, which may or may not be a new record for me… I will say that four of these were given to me by publishers, and the three I purchased at the Strand were all $7-8 each, so my […]
