Turning 22 – The age I decide to stop caring about aging

For the last six months or so, my mind has been an anxious mess bouncing between two thoughts: I’m gonna be 22 and have decades of youthful experiences in front of me and I’m turning 22 and I can’t believe I still haven’t done this and I still don’t have that.

Why did turning 22 hold a special meaning for me? 

Read even the greatest writings with a grain of salt

This happens, right? We come across a quotation by Sylvia Plath, Virginia Woolf, Ernest Hemingway, Anaïs Nin, or any legendary figure in fact, and we read it and think—that’s it—that’s the truth.

June and July Reads 2021

After challenging myself to read 30 books in May, let’s say that I calmed down a bit.

I read 3 books in July and 2 in June and I’m not unhappy with that at all! I spent all of May prioritizing reading and that was great, but since then, I’ve been focusing on other things, reading only when I feel like it and am sucked into a book.

March and April 2021 Reads

Hi everyone! How are you all doing?

Top 10 Books I Read In 2020

Hey everyone! Enough has been said about how 2020 was so I’ll spare you the obvious. Reading-wise, I had a pretty good year. My reading list for college was amazing this year and some of those books turned out to be my best read. I had the opportunity of reviewing many amazing books by debut/indie authors. Perhaps the achievement I’m most proud of and grateful for is kick-starting my career as an editor.
