the last stop in Manhattan – the Strand Independent Bookstore Pop-Up Shop in Times Square! I found my very own copy of #irenenemirovsky’s #suitefrancaise! I have been hunting for this book for the last 2 years and today I found 2 copies! #thestrandbookstore #bookstore #book #bookshop #bookstagram #books #independent #usedbooks #newyork #newyorkcity #nyc #read #reader…

This may be the closest I have managed to come to the Broadway version of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, but it was thrilling to stumble across the gorgeous marquee featuring one of my favourite literary characters! I am sure my “OH!” followed by a squeal is the reaction shared by many Potterheads as…

Frozen hot chocolate @serendipity3nyc for @brennaduperron’s 30th birthday @braeden_duperron @sherriduperron This is a bucket list item for my sister, so here we are! Frozen hot chocolate, pink ceilings, rainbow chandeliers, and a fireplace make for a quaint, cute, albeit touristy meal. We lucked out with a great server, who made the meal! #serendipity3 #serendipity #frozenhotchocolate…

Easter was spent in my version of heaven, and I was unaware of it until today. The Morgan Library and Museum, with my ultra smart Medievalist Ph D Student sister explaining about all of the books in the special exhibit. I was in awe of the beautiful books, the amazing space, the Tennessee Williams exhibit,…

The only way to unpack my white privilege is to gain perspective from people of colour who suffer because of it. Social equity starts with looking in the mirror and acknowledging our contribution to inequity. As a white, cisgender, heteronormative, Western/Anglo-Christian Feminist, it is my duty to pull back these veils and to fight for…

Today, a little girl was the most mature woman in the world. Allow me to rephrase – the most mature person in the world. Emma González, a high school senior, stopped the world for 6 minutes and 30 seconds. Between her impassioned words and her silence heard ’round the world, Ms. González said more than…

❤️❤️❤️❤️ Following @reesesbookclubxhellosunshine advice, I picked up Brené Brown’s newest book Braving the Wilderness. Part memoir, part self-actualization book, Brown wrote about her childhood, and disappointments and traumas that led her to a life she was not content to have. Using the wilderness as when one is alone in their opinion, but stands by their…
