In high school and college, there’s a list of books we have to read. From these books stem a series of quizzes, exams, lectures, and essays.
During my free time, I’ve read a few books in their entirety that I didn’t particularly enjoy. I’ve done this for several reasons including word of mouth, bestseller lists, there was an ad or article on the book, or because of my own curiosity. I’ve also g... Read more of this blog post »

“Ariya was tall and fine-boned, with large doe-eyes framed by long lashes. She moved about the one-story house with a self-possessed grace in her purple dress. We thought she would make a good model.
