It's no secret that I love Book of the Month Club. I've been a member since April 2017, when I asked my mom for a gift subscription for my 28th birthday. Today I wanted to highlight some of my favorite Book of the Month books from the past 4 years that I've been a member.

What I Read: October 2017
I get a mild feeling of panic every time someone asks me to recommend books to them. I want to just direct them here, to the safe space where all of my thoughts and feelings are already laid out, where they can read my thoughts on the books before they pick them up.

That means, after a week-long vacation to Colorado, I am currently unemployed and without classes for the next two weeks.Of course, I've already read THREE novels. (In 2 weeks.
