Reading

I've enjoyed reading my whole life, but went through an unwilling hiatus in college. Since then, however, I've gotten back into it. I enjoy books of all kind, but particularly like literary fiction, family sagas, and sci-fi. You can find what I'm currently reading below, and follow me on Goodreads!
