Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng
There was a time in my life when I could sit down with a book and not get up again until I'd finished it. I'm not in that season of my life anymore and I'm okay with that most of the time. But while I was reading Everything I never Told You, I wished that... Continue Reading →

Swing Time by Zadie Smith
This has been one of the hardest posts I've written since starting my blog. This book has stalled my reading and blogging, so I'm glad to click "publish" today!
