So. It may not come as a great surprise that I am an avid reader. As a kid and young adult, I consumed books at an alarming rate – so much so that my mom refused to give me new books purchased for travel time before we were actually on the plane or in the car because I would finish them before we ever went anywhere.
My heart is full.
As the year has drawn to a close, I’ve been distracted by school finishing oddly, manically finishing up work, grieving the people who are leaving, grieving opportunities lost, but seeing what my friends are going through back home is compounding that grief and I don’t want to be silent anymore because I am afraid of how I’ll be perceived.

Anyone who says librarians are impartial and unbiased in their book recommendations is a big, fat liar. (I mean, we try to be, but man, is it hard to curate booklists for books I fundamentally hate).
