A Tour of My Bookshelf
Now that my bookshelf has been reorganized, I finally show off my collection! Since I’m a former student library page, my books are filed alphabetically by author’s last name but chronologically within a series.

Top Ten Beach Reads
For me, a beach read is something that’s light, fun, and (more often than not) romantic. I don’t get to the beach nearly enough – partially because the nearest one is an hour away and partially because I sunburn way too easily – but next time I go, I’ll be bringing a few of these books along. 1. The...
