2017 Reads
I can’t believe it’s the end of the year already! I’ve been contemplating whether I should write more or give this up, but I clearly haven’t made a firm decision. -_- Anyway, here’s a list of what I’ve read this year: One Hundred Years of Solitude – Gabriel Garcia Marquez Between the World and Me…

Books: Anthologies Pt. 6
Hi All! I meant to get this out last week…but life. I’m just going to touch on two Shakespeare anthologies—The Globe and The Norton.
