Introduction / About the Blogger!

Hey y'all!

        I figured it would make sense for me to write up a li'l introduction and include some details about myself!
        At this very moment I have just taken a relaxing lemony bath after a long day of finishing final papers and packing to leave school for winter break. I am a sophomore at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts and I study english. I hope to work in publishing children's literature someday. I also aspire to become a certified-trained doula. I like animals, plants, vegan food, punk stuff,  and learning.
        I am starting this blog as a sort of archive of things I read and the impact they have on me. I hope that this blog will be a cure to a case of reader's block I have had for some time, during which I have had so much trouble being able to read for pleasure or to document outside of papers the influence books I have read have had on me. I had a blog similar to this one that I ran in middle/high school wherein I reviewed books as well as albums. I am hoping that this will serve a similar purpose to that blog as a collection of my thoughts and feelings on literature that moves me or helps me to grow in some way or another. This blog is probably going to be very informal, I just want to have fun and that requires my being honest and true to myself and my personality / opinions. (I.e. weird). Posts here may not have perfect grammar or spelling, I may make strange references or tell silly anecdotes. I have no quota of books I plan to read, but I do hope to read 50 books in 2014. I am also currently trying to read 3 books before the end of 2013, but we will see how that goes!

Hmm, I suppose that's all for now!

Thanks for stopping by,

Also, here is the link to my GoodReads, where I will be tracking and rating books I've read / want to read/ am reading. Friend me!
