"Until all the irony is ironed out... I will read."

Hello, my name is Brittany and I love books. Too much. I have a perpetually growing stack of books, since I buy them faster than any human could ever hope to read. I stumbled upon this quote today which reiterated why I love so much getting lost in a great volume-

“That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you’re not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.”
- F. Scott Fitzgerald

Books I recently finished and highly recommend:

• The Thieves of Manhattan
